Hydrodynamic flows exhibit turbulent behaviour which is not well understood till date. When
a fluid is in a gravitational field, the flow becomes even more complex due to the gravity …

We encounter many transport processes in fluids in which the motion is driven simply by the
interaction of density differences with the gravity field. This buoy ancy effect may be due to …

It is over three hundred and fifty years since Torricelli discovered the law obeyed by
fountains, yet fluid dynamics remains an active and important branch of physics. This book …

Many introductions to fluid dynamics offer an illustrative approach that demonstrates some
aspects of fluid behavior, but often leave you without the tools necessary to confront new …

In this chapter, we analyze flow with respect to three aspects. First, we examine the basis for
flow experiences to emerge. We focus our discussion on the situational antecedents of flow …

In this paper, I show that a range of environmental flows are inherently dynamically similar.
These flows, which are partially obstructed by a permeable medium, are here termed …

Publisher Summary Many flows in engineering practice and in the environment are
influenced by buoyancy forces arising from density differences or are caused by such forces …

The Boussinesq system for buoyancy driven fluids couples the momentum equation forced
by the buoyancy with the convection-diffusion equation for the temperature. One …

The temperature dependence of the density of both pure and saline water, even to very high
salinity and pressure levels, decreases at decreasing temperature toward an extremum. The …

The first of its kind, this book is an in-depth history of hydrodynamics from its eighteenth-
century foundations to its first major successes in twentieth-century hydraulics and …
