Opis

This book presents comprehensive and authoritative coverage of the wide field of concentrated vortices observed in nature and technique. The methods for research of their kinematics and dynamics are considered. Special attention is paid to the flows with helical symmetry. The authors have described models of vortex structures used for interpretation of experimental data which serve as a ground for development of theoretical and numerical approaches to vortex investigation.

Recenzje

From the reviews:

"The book contains a comprehensive overview and authoritative coverage of the wide field of concentrated vortices observed in nature and technique. It familiarizes readers with the methods for research of their kinematics and dynamics. ... this book also covers recent achievements in the fields of stability analysis, waves on vortices and vortex breakdown. Scientists working in the areas of applied mathematics, and in theoretical and/or computational fluid dynamics will benefit from this book, which may serve both as a reference monograph and a textbook." (Felix Kaplanski, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1132 (10), 2008)
