Description
The flow of gravity currents and intrusions is a subject of active research and engineering application. Currently, there are no formal teaching courses for this topic. Materials and information available in the market are scattered and dated. Researchers and engineers face difficulties in acquiring the 'state-of-the-art' knowledge. The book bridges this gap between the need and supply of the relevant insight and know-how.Written by a renowned author who is a recognized authority in the field, this unique compendium assembles the relevant knowledge into a systematic and unified framework. The presentation is gradual from the elementary to the frontier, and accessible to readers with only a basic background in fluid mechanics and applied mathematics. This will facilitate the systematic acquirement and application of available knowledge to both practical problems and further research.This must-have volume is a useful monograph — that can also serve as a textbook in advanced courses — for researchers, students, engineers and applied mathematicians in the fields of civil engineering, hydraulic engineering, mechanical engineering, ocean engineering and environmental engineering.Contents: PrefaceAbout the AuthorCopyright AcknowledgmentAbbreviationsIntroductionTheoretical FormulationNon-Stratified Ambient:Shallow-Water (SW) Analysis of the Inertial GC: The One-Layer ModelJumps in Steady-State Streams and Control-Volume Matching ConditionsBox Models for 2D GeometryTwo-Layer SW ModelAxisymmetric GC in Inertial Regime: SW AnalysisBox Models for Axisymmetric GeometryEffects of RotationBuoyancy Decays: Particle-Driven GC, Porous Boundary, and EntrainmentInclined Boundary EffectsNon-Boussinesq Systems: The One-Layer ModelNon-Boussinesq Systems: The Two-Layer Fixed-Top SW ModelLubrication Theory Formulation for Viscous CurrentsVegetation EffectsStratified Ambient Currents and Intrusions:Continuous Density TransitionAxisymmetric and Rotating CasesThe Steady-State CurrentIntrusions in 2D GeometryIntrusions in Axisymmetric GeometryBox Models for 2D GeometryBox Models for Axisymmetric GeometryHybrid Model for Sustained Axisymmetric IntrusionLubrication Theory for Viscous GCs with S = 1EnergyExtensions:Non-Rectangular Cross-Section AreaSW Model Extensions: Flux and Open TopAppendices:Scaling SuggestionsSW Equations: Characteristics and Finite-Difference SchemesNS Numerical SimulationsSome Useful FormulasNotation GuideBibliographyIndex
