Book excerpt: Kai Merlin is heir to her mother’s throne in Atlantis, and she takes her duties seriously, but lately her mind has been on her fiancée Vivien Palmer. After a chance encounter when they were children, meeting again and falling in love proved to be fate, but melding their worlds as they plan their wedding isn’t going to be easy. Vivien has spent her life searching for the secrets she’d always known were hidden beneath the waves, but nothing prepared her for what Kai and her people had successfully kept hidden for eons. She finally has a sense of belonging, but unseen enemies will stop at nothing to conquer and destroy their world—including everything and everyone she holds dear. Below turbulent waves, Kai and Vivien must fight for what is right as life and love hang in the balance.

Book Synopsis Advances In Wave Turbulence by : Victor Shrira
Download or read book Advances In Wave Turbulence written by Victor Shrira and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2013-05-10 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wave or weak turbulence is a branch of science concerned with the evolution of random wave fields of all kinds and on all scales, from waves in galaxies to capillary waves on water surface, from waves in nonlinear optics to quantum fluids. In spite of the enormous diversity of wave fields in nature, there is a common conceptual and mathematical core which allows to describe the processes of random wave interactions within the same conceptual paradigm, and in the same language. The development of this core and its links with the applications is the essence of wave turbulence science (WT) which is an established integral part of nonlinear science.The book comprising seven reviews aims at discussing new challenges in WT and perspectives of its development. A special emphasis is made upon the links between the theory and experiment. Each of the reviews is devoted to a particular field of application (there is no overlap), or a novel approach or idea. The reviews cover a variety of applications of WT, including water waves, optical fibers, WT experiments on a metal plate and observations of astrophysical WT.
Book Synopsis Turbulence In Coastal And Civil Engineering by : B Mutlu Sumer
Download or read book Turbulence In Coastal And Civil Engineering written by B Mutlu Sumer and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2020-03-23 with total page 758 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the subject of turbulence encountered in coastal and civil engineering.The primary aim of the book is to describe turbulence processes including transition to turbulence; mean and fluctuating flows in channels/pipes, and in currents; wave boundary layers (including boundary layers under solitary waves); streaming processes in wave boundary layers; turbulence processes in breaking waves including breaking solitary waves; turbulence processes such as bursting process and their implications for sediment transport; flow resistance in steady and wave boundary layers; and turbulent diffusion and dispersion processes in the coastal and river environment, including sediment transport due to diffusion/dispersion.Both phenomenological and statistical theories are described in great detail. Turbulence modelling is also described, and several examples for modelling of turbulence in steady flow and wave boundary layers are presented.The book ends with a chapter containing hands-on exercises on a wide variety of turbulent flows including experimental study of turbulence in an open-channel flow, using Laser Doppler Anemometry; Statistical, correlation and spectral analysis of turbulent air jet flow; Turbulence modelling of wave boundary layer flows; and numerical modelling of dispersion in a turbulent boundary layer, a set of exercises used by the authors in their Masters classes over many years.Although the book is essentially intended for professionals and researchers in the area of Coastal and Civil Engineering, and as a text book for graduate/post graduate students, the contents of the book will, however, additionally provide sufficient background in the study of turbulent flows relevant to many other disciplines, such as Wind Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Environmental Engineering.
Book Synopsis Advances in Wave Interaction and Turbulence by : Paul A. Milewski
Download or read book Advances in Wave Interaction and Turbulence written by Paul A. Milewski and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2001 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We often think of our natural environment as being composed of very many interacting particles, undergoing individual chaotic motions, of which only very coarse averages are perceptible at scales natural to us. However, we could as well think of the world as being made out of individual waves. This is so not just because the distinction between waves and particles becomes rather blurred at the atomic level, but also because even phenomena at much larger scales are better describedin terms of waves rather than of particles: It is rare in both fluids and solids to observe energy being carried from one region of space to another by a given set of material particles; much more often, this transfer occurs through chains of particles, neither of them moving much, but eachcommunicating with the next, and hence creating these immaterial objects we call waves. Waves occur at many spatial and temporal scales. Many of these waves have small enough amplitude that they can be approximately described by linear theory. However, the joint effect of large sets of waves is governed by nonlinear interactions which are responsible for huge cascades of energy among very disparate scales. Understanding these energy transfers is crucial in order to determine the response oflarge systems, such as the atmosphere and the ocean, to external forcings and dissipation mechanisms which act on scales decades apart. The field of wave turbulence attempts to understand the average behavior of large ensembles of waves, subjected to forcing and dissipation at opposite ends of theirspectrum. It does so by studying individual mechanisms for energy transfer, such as resonant triads and quartets, and attempting to draw from them effects that should not survive averaging. This book presents the proceedings of the AMS-IMS-SIAM Joint Summer Research Conference on Dispersive Wave Turbulence held at Mt. Holyoke College (MA). It drew together a group of researchers from many corners of the world, in the context of a perceived renaissance of the field, driven by heated debate aboutthe fundamental mechanism of energy transfer among large sets of waves, as well as by novel applications-and old ones revisited-to the understanding of the natural world. These proceedings reflect the spirit that permeated the conference, that of friendly scientific disagreement and genuine wonderat the rich phenomenology of waves.

Book Synopsis An Introduction to the Theory of Plasma Turbulence by : V. N. Tsytovich
Download or read book An Introduction to the Theory of Plasma Turbulence written by V. N. Tsytovich and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2016-07-29 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Introduction to the Theory of Plasma Turbulence is a collection of lectures given by the author at Culham laboratory. The book deals with developments on the theory of plasma turbulence. The author describes plasma properties in the turbulent regions as mostly non-linear in nature, and notes that these properties can be regarded as a universal spectrum independent of any type of instability. The text then discusses the general problems of the theory of plasma turbulence. The author also shows that elementary excitation of ""dressed"" particles have a finite lifetime associated with non-linear interactions. The book then discusses the excitation of ion-sound turbulence using different processes, for example, shock waves; the text also analyzes the kind of non-linear interactions present in such energy transfer. The author also explains the Langmuir plasma oscillations — a typical collective plasma motion that can be excited using different types of mechanism such as an electron beam. The book then describes the electromagnetic properties of turbulent plasma and relates the state of turbulent plasma as a natural occurrence in the universe. The book notes the problem of cosmic rays, not as an energy transfer to faster particles, but as an energy distribution between particles. The text will prove valuable for nuclear physicists, scientists, and academicians in the field of quantum mechanics.

Book Synopsis What is fluid turbulence? by : Gert Naue
Download or read book What is fluid turbulence? written by Gert Naue and published by TWENTYSIX. This book was released on 2018-07-19 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an innovative wave structure theory of turbulence. The most important advancement is the provision of turbulence parameters of the optimal self-organization of turbulence from theoretical investigations via information entropy assessments. The new theoretical results are in very good agreement with the experimentally confirmed results of turbulent convection velocity fields at free and forced turbulence. In connection with the logarithmic wall law, it is shown that there is no viscous sublayer. The formulation of the oscillation problem of turbulence and the solution of boundary value tasks with coordinate systems adapted to the specific task are provided for many technically significant turbulent flows, including smooth and rough pipe flow, confusor and diffuser flow, swirl flow, stirrer flow, inlet flow, intermittency, wake flow and free jets. An epistemological component of the innovation is the representation of turbulence by con-travariant vector fields which are characterized by the stability of the turbulence structures at changed structural density. The turbulence structures act as active momentum transmitters of refracted monopoles, dipoles, tripoles and quadrupoles in the flow field. The dissipation mechanism with regard to the processes in turbulence structures is, for the first time, qualita-tively and quantitatively described. The transition from the contravariant turbulence velocity field to the covariant convection velocity field induce refraction and entanglement. The principles of turbulence act as fractal principle, reflection principle, entanglement principle, refractive principle and convolution principle. The wave structure theory of turbulence provides an arraying tool for further investigations into numerous open problems.
Book Synopsis Turbulence and Magnetic Fields in Astrophysics by : Edith Falgarone
Download or read book Turbulence and Magnetic Fields in Astrophysics written by Edith Falgarone and published by Springer. This book was released on 2008-01-11 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains review articles of most of the topics addressed at the conf- ence on Simulations of Magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in astrophysics: recent achievements and perspectives which took place from July 2 to 6, 2001 at the Institut Henri Poincar ́e in Paris. We made the choice to publish these lectures in a tutorial form so that they can be read by a broad audience. As a result, this book does not give an exhaustive view of all the subjects addressed during the conference. The main objective of this workshop which gathered about 90 scientists from di?erent ?elds, was to present and confront recent results on the topic of t- bulence in magnetized astrophysical environments. A second objective was to discuss the latest generation of numerical codes, such as those using adaptive mesh re?nement (AMR) techniques. During a plenary discussion at the end of the workshop discussions were held on several topics, often at the heart of vivid controversies. Topics included the timescale for the dissipation of magneto-hydrodynamical (MHD) turbulence, the role of boundary conditions, the characteristics of imbalanced turbulence, the validity of the polytropic approach to Alfv ́en waves support within interst- lar clouds, the source of turbulence inside clouds devoid of stellar activity, the timescale for star formation, the Alfv ́en Mach number of interstellar gas motions, the formation process for helical ?elds in the interstellar medium. The impact of small upon large scales was also discussed.
Book Synopsis Kolmogorov Spectra of Turbulence I by : Vladimir E. Zakharov
Download or read book Kolmogorov Spectra of Turbulence I written by Vladimir E. Zakharov and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the human organism is itself an open system, we are naturally curious about the behavior of other open systems with fluxes of matter, energy or information. Of the possible open systems, it is those endowed with many degrees of freedom and strongly deviating from equilibrium that are most challenging. A simple but very significant example of such a system is given by developed turbulence in a continuous medium, where we can discern astonishing features of universality. This two-volume monograph deals with the theory of turbulence viewed as a general physical phenomenon. In addition to vortex hydrodynamic turbulence, it considers various cases of wave turbulence in plasmas, magnets, atmosphere, ocean and space. A sound basis for discussion is provided by the concept of cascade turbulence with relay energy transfer over different scales and modes. We shall show how the initial cascade hypothesis turns into an elegant theory yielding the Kolmogorov spectra of turbulence as exact solutions. We shall describe the further development of the theory discussing stability prob lems and modes of Kolmogorov spectra formation, as well as their matching with sources and sinks. This volume is dedicated to developed wave turbulence in different media.

Book Synopsis Plasma Physics for Astrophysics by : Russell M. Kulsrud
Download or read book Plasma Physics for Astrophysics written by Russell M. Kulsrud and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, a distinguished expert introduces plasma physics from the ground up, presenting it as a comprehensible field that can be grasped largely on the basis of physical intuition and qualitative reasoning, similar to other fields of physics. Plasmas are ionized gases that can be found in a hydrogen bomb explosion, the confinement chamber of an experimental fusion reactor, the solar corona, the aurora borealis, the interstellar medium, and the immediate vicinity of a gravitational black hole. Not surprisingly, plasma physics appears to consist of numerous topics arising independently from astrophysics, fusion physics, and other practical applications, and hence it remains a field poorly understood even by many astrophysicists. But, in fact, most of these topics can be approached from the same perspective, with a simple, physical intuition. Selecting simple examples and presenting them in a simultaneously intuitive and rigorous manner, Russell Kulsrud guides readers through a careful derivation of the results and allows them to think through the physics for themselves. Thus, they are better prepared for complex cases and more general results. The first eleven chapters present topics by their importance to plasma physics while the last three chapters emphasize the field's astrophysical applications, applying the results accrued earlier. Throughout, many problems illustrate the field's applications. Based on a course the author taught for many years, Plasma Physics for Astrophysics is intended for graduate students as well as for working astrophysicists.
