The high growth rate in many industrial countries during the first two decades after World War II produced a financial expansion, which in its turn made possible an extension of the growth process. But it also led to a financial crisis, when increasing costs during the 1970s created growing deficits in the balance of payments and the government budgets in many countries.

A fully systematic treatment of the dynamics of vortex structures and their interactions in a viscous density stratified fluid is provided by this book. The various compact vortex structures such as monopoles, dipoles, quadrupoles, as well as more complex ones are considered theoretically from a physical point of view.
Another essential feature of the book is the close combination of theoretical analyses with numerous examples of real flows.
The book further provides real physical insight and base for postgraduate students specializing in geophysical and applied fluid dynamics. Among...

Written by the world's foremost experts on the subject, Mathematical M odels in Boundary Layer Theory provides the opportunity to explore its mathematical studies and their importance to the nonlinear theory of viscous and electrically conducting flows, the theory of heat and mass transfer, and the dynamics of reactive and muliphase media. With the theory's importance to a wide variety of applications, applied mathema ticians-especially those in fluid dynamics-along with engineers of aer onautical and ship design will undoubtedly welcome this authoritative, state-of-the-art treatise.

Professor Dobbs provides an elegant and clear account of the subject, leading the student from electrostatics through to Maxwell's equations and electromagnetic waves, covering all the material needed by a student taking courses on electricity and magnetism and electromagnetic waves.
