This book was released on 2020-12-08 with total page 815 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book An Introduction to Gravity Currents and Intrusions written by Marius Ungarish and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2009-04-28 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gravity currents and intrusions are the ubiquitous phenomena where a fluid of one density flows horizontally into a fluid of a different density. For researchers and engineers, the ability to understand and predict these flow fields is essential in wide-ranging applications including those involved with atmospheric and ocean dynamics, the propagation of pollutants, and the dispersion of volcanic clouds. Although many new theories, experimental data, simulation results, and insights have surfaced recently, most of these developments remain scattered in journals and conference papers. A systematic and unified introduction to the field, which incorporates the new results and developments, is bound to facilitate the application of the available knowledge to both practical problems and further investigations. Written by a recognized authority active in recent developments in gravity current research, An Introduction to Gravity Currents and Intrusions provides an up-to-date, self-contained, and systematic introduction to the study, interpretation, and prediction of gravity current flows. The author uses a simple mathematical framework to provide an accessible and comprehensive introduction to the mathematical and physical aspects of this important topic. The text supplies researchers and practitioners with the foundation required to formulate problems, interpret experimental results and measurements data, obtain simple and insightful analytical estimates and solutions, and develop or implement numerical codes for related problems. The book also points out gaps of knowledge in the current understanding that require further research. This accessible reference requires only a basic background in fluid mechanics and applied mathematics, making it an ideal starting place for researchers and engineers new to the field. It can also serve as a textbook for upper-level undergraduate and graduate level courses in fluid dynamics.

This book was released on 2013-09-12 with total page 701 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are two recurring themes in astrophysical and geophysical fluid mechanics: waves and turbulence. This book investigates how turbulence responds to rotation, stratification or magnetic fields, identifying common themes, where they exist, as well as the essential differences which inevitably arise between different classes of flow. The discussion is developed from first principles, making the book suitable for graduate students as well as professional researchers. The author focuses first on the fundamentals and then progresses to such topics as the atmospheric boundary layer, turbulence in the upper atmosphere, turbulence in the core of the earth, zonal winds in the giant planets, turbulence within the interior of the sun, the solar wind, and turbulent flows in accretion discs. The book will appeal to engineers, geophysicists, astrophysicists and applied mathematicians who are interested in naturally occurring turbulent flows.

Download or read book Gravity Currents Propagating Upslope in Uniform and Two-layer Stratified Ambients written by Larissa J. Marleau and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bottom propagating gravity currents resulting from full- and partial-depth lock-release experiments are investigated as they propagate up a rising slope in uniform and two-layer stratified ambients. In the case of uniform ambients, the gravity current front decelerates in a nearly uniform manner along the slope at a rate that agrees with theoretical predictions. The shape of the gravity current as it decelerates over relatively steep slopes is found to be self-similar with a nearly linear decrease of the head height between the start of the slope and up to 80\% of the distance to the nose. Some deviation from self-similar behaviour is found in cases with small slopes because of the comparatively large volume of fluid in the gravity current tail that flows downslope while the front continues to advance upwards. In the case of two-layer ambients, the initial gravity current front speed is found to be consistent with a theory adapted from \cite{shin_dalziel_linden2004}. The subsequent evolution depends on the gravity current speed relative to the speed of the interfacial disturbance it creates. The deceleration of supercritical gravity currents, which travel faster than the interfacial disturbance, is gradual and agrees well with the relationship developed for upslope gravity currents in uniform density ambients and modified for a two-layer ambient. In most subcritical cases the gravity current suddenly comes to rest as a consequence of interactions with the interfacial disturbance. The disturbance amplitude, speed, and width are found to be nearly constant during its evolution. In cases for which the ambient interface intersected the tank bottom, the amplitude, speed, and width are nearly constant up to the point where the lower layer shallowed and the disturbance transformed into an upslope propagating gravity current.

Download or read book Gravity Currents written by John E. Simpson and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This explanation of the nature of gravity currents (Bouyancy-driven flows in fluids) and their manifestations in the atmosphere, the oceans and the earth sciences, fills a serious gap in the literature. It will also benefit a great many workers in other scientific disciplines, who will be able to apply the principles of gravity currents to their own specialist subject. Much of the work has not previously been published, and the publishers know of no other book with a similar range of information. The author's own work in the development of a variety of laboratory experiments designed to offer an understanding of the physical processes, is made very clear to the reader, illustrating a range of phenomena which are important in areas as diverse as aircraft safety, the distribution of airborne pests, and airborne pollution. The study of oceans ranges from the Gulf Stream to river fronts in lakes and fjords, where the formation of a front is of biological importance. In a section on avalanche flows, avalanches of snow, rock, and volcanic eruptions, are also shown to be gravity currents of vital significance. Factors influencing the behaviour of gravity currents are reviewed. The topics are dealt with in numerous laboratory experiments, and only simple mathematics is included. A final chapter reviews the growing subject of numerical models of gravity currents.

Download or read book Buoyancy Effects in Fluids written by John Stewart Turner and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1979-12-20 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phenomena treated in this book all depend on the action of gravity on small density differences in a non-rotating fluid. The author gives a connected account of the various motions which can be driven or influenced by buoyancy forces in a stratified fluid, including internal waves, turbulent shear flows and buoyant convection. This excellent introduction to a rapidly developing field, first published in 1973, can be used as the basis of graduate courses in university departments of meteorology, oceanography and various branches of engineering. This edition is reprinted with corrections, and extra references have been added to allow readers to bring themselves up to date on specific topics. Professor Turner is a physicist with a special interest in laboratory modelling of small-scale geophysical processes. An important feature is the superb illustration of the text with many fine photographs of laboratory experiments and natural phenomena.

Download or read book Environmental Stratified Flows written by Roger Grimshaw and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-04-11 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dynamics of flows in density-stratified fluids has been and remains now an important topic for scientific enquiry. Such flows arise in many contexts, ranging from industrial settings to the oceanic and atmospheric environments. It is the latter topic which is the focus of this book. Both the ocean and atmosphere are characterised by the basic vertical density stratification, and this feature can affect the dynamics on all scales ranging from the micro-scale to the planetary scale. The aim of this book is to provide a “state-of-the-art” account of stratified flows as they are relevant to the ocean and atmosphere with a primary focus on meso-scale phenomena; that is, on phenomena whose time and space scales are such that the density stratification is a dominant effect, so that frictional and diffusive effects on the one hand and the effects of the earth’s rotation on the other hand can be regarded as of less importance. This in turn leads to an emphasis on internal waves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume arises from the conference Sediment Transport andDeposition by Particulate Gravity Currents held in the UK in 1998.The field of particulate gravity currents ranges from turbiditycurrents in the oceans, lakes and reservoirs to pyroclastic densitycurrents and avalanches, debris flows and lahars, grainflows,powder snow avalanches, effluent dispersal and ancient gravitycurrent deposits. Although the sub-division of particulate gravity currents intodiscrete sub-categories (such as grain flows, turbidity currents ordebris flows) provides a convenient descriptive shorthand, itundermines the sense of process continuum needed to describe manynatural flows. The structure of this volume reflects an integrativeaim, with papers grouped by research approach. The first section ofthe book contains six papers on theoretical and numerical modellingof a range of flow types. The following four papers are focusedupon combined theoretical and experimental modelling approaches.The next section contains four papers describing experimentalmodelling and the final section includes five papers detailingfield-based studies. The volume stands as a testament to the broad range of researchcarried out on particulate gravity currents, and hints at theenhanced rate of progress that is likely to be achieved throughfurther integrated studies.

Download or read book Initial-boundary Value Problems and the Navier-Stokes Equations written by Heinz-Otto Kreiss and published by SIAM. This book was released on 1989-01-01 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation This book provides an introduction to the vast subject of initial and initial-boundary value problems for PDEs, with an emphasis on applications to parabolic and hyperbolic systems. The Navier-Stokes equations for compressible and incompressible flows are taken as an example to illustrate the results. Researchers and graduate students in applied mathematics and engineering will find Initial-Boundary Value Problems and the Navier-Stokes Equations invaluable. The subjects addressed in the book, such as the well-posedness of initial-boundary value problems, are of frequent interest when PDEs are used in modeling or when they are solved numerically. The reader will learn what well-posedness or ill-posedness means and how it can be demonstrated for concrete problems. There are many new results, in particular on the Navier-Stokes equations. The direct approach to the subject still gives a valuable introduction to an important area of applied analysis.
