  • Transport Processes in Space Physics and Astrophysics

    Problems and Solutions

    by Alexander Dosch, Gary P. Zank ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This is the problems and solution manual for the graduate text with the same title and published as Lecture Notes in Physics Vol 877 which provides the necessary mathematical and physics background to understand the transport of gases, charged particle gases, energetic charged particles, turbulence, and radiation in an astrophysical and space physics context. The very detailed and self-contained ... Read more

  • Introduction to Geophysical Fluid Dynamics

    Physical and Numerical Aspects

    by Benoit Cushman-Roisin, Jean-Marie Beckers ...
    Series Book 101 - International Geophysics
    Introduction to Geophysical Fluid Dynamics provides an introductory-level exploration of geophysical fluid dynamics (GFD), the principles governing air and water flows on large terrestrial scales. Physical principles are illustrated with the aid of the simplest existing models, and the computer methods are shown in juxtaposition with the equations to which they apply. It explores contemporary ... Read more

  • Special Relativity in General Frames

    From Particles to Astrophysics

    by Éric Gourgoulhon ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Special relativity is the basis of many fields in modern physics: particle physics, quantum field theory, high-energy astrophysics, etc. This theory is presented here by adopting a four-dimensional point of view from the start. An outstanding feature of the book is that it doesn’t restrict itself to inertial frames but considers accelerated and rotating observers. It is thus possible to treat ... Read more

  • Magnetoconvection

    by N. O. Weiss, M. R. E. Proctor ...
    Series series Cambridge Monographs on Mechanics
    The last thirty years have seen great leaps forward in the subject of magnetoconvection. Computational techniques can now explain exotic nonlinear behaviour, transition to chaos and the formation of structures that can be observed on the surface of the Sun. Here, two leading experts present the current state of knowledge of the subject. They provide a mathematical and numerical treatment of the ... Read more

  • Coarse Grained Simulation and Turbulent Mixing

    Edited by Fernando F. Grinstein ...
    Small-scale turbulent flow dynamics is traditionally viewed as universal and as enslaved to that of larger scales. In coarse grained simulation (CGS), large energy-containing structures are resolved, smaller structures are spatially filtered out, and unresolved subgrid scale (SGS) effects are modeled. Coarse Grained Simulation and Turbulent Mixing reviews our understanding of CGS. Beginning with ... Read more

  • Turbulence in the Solar Wind

    by Roberto Bruno, Vincenzo Carbone ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book provides an overview of solar wind turbulence from both the theoretical and observational perspective. It argues that the interplanetary medium offers the best opportunity to directly study turbulent fluctuations in collisionless plasmas. In fact, during expansion, the solar wind evolves towards a state characterized by large-amplitude fluctuations in all observed parameters, which ... Read more

  • Full Meridian of Glory

    Perilous Adventures in the Competition to Measure the Earth

    by Paul Murdin ...
    [the text below needs editing and we must be careful not to say things about Dan Brown's book that could get Springer in legal trouble]Dan Brown’s novel, The Da Vinci Code, was first published in 2003; its sales have reached 40 million worldwide. The book mixes a small spice of fact into a large dollop of fiction to create an entertaining novel of intrigue, adventure, romance, danger and ... Read more

  • Plasma Turbulence in the Solar System

    by Yasuhito Narita ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Dynamics of astrophysical systems is often described by plasma physics, yet understanding the nature of plasma turbulence remains as a challenge in physics in both theories and experiments. This book is an up-to-date summary and review of recent results in research on waves and turbulence in near-Earth space plasma turbulence, obtained by Cluster, the multi-spacecraft mission. Spatial and temporal ... Read more

  • Fluid Dynamics

    An Introduction

    by Michel Rieutord ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book is dedicated to readers who want to learn fluid dynamics from the beginning. It assumes a basic level of mathematics knowledge that would correspond to that of most second-year undergraduate physics students and examines fluid dynamics from a physicist’s perspective. As such, the examples used primarily come from our environment on Earth and, where possible, from astrophysics.The text is ... Read more

  • Precession, Nutation and Wobble of the Earth

    by V. Dehant, P. M. Mathews ...
    Covering both astronomical and geophysical perspectives, this book describes changes in the Earth's orientation, specifically precession and nutation, and how they are observed and computed in terms of tidal forcing and models of the Earth's interior. Following an introduction to key concepts and elementary geodetic theory, the book describes how precise measurements of the Earth's orientation are ... Read more

  • Three Great Tsunamis: Lisbon (1755), Sumatra-Andaman (2004) and Japan (2011)

    by Vineet K. Gahalaut, Harsh K. Gupta ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Tsunamis are primarily caused by earthquakes. Under favourable geological conditions, when a large earthquake occurs below the sea bed and the resultant rupture causes a vertical displacement of the ocean bed, the entire column of water above it is displaced, causing a tsunami. In the ocean, tsunamis do not reach great heights but can travel at velocities of up to 1000 km/hour. As a tsunami ... Read more

  • Magnetohydrodynamics and Fluid Dynamics: Action Principles and Conservation Laws

    by Gary Webb ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This text focuses on conservation laws in magnetohydrodynamics, gasdynamics and hydrodynamics. A grasp of new conservation laws is essential in fusion and space plasmas, as well as in geophysical fluid dynamics; they can be used to test numerical codes, or to reveal new aspects of the underlying physics, e.g., by identifying the time history of the fluid elements as an important key to ...
