  • Turbulence in Rotating, Stratified and Electrically Conducting Fluids

    by P. A. Davidson ...
    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 ... Read more

  • Turbulence and Self-Organization

    Modeling Astrophysical Objects

    by Mikhail Ya Marov, Aleksander V. Kolesnichenko ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The book deals with the development of continual models of turbulent natural media. Such models serve as a ground for the statement and numerical evaluation of the key problems of the structure and evolution of the numerous astrophysical and geophysical objects. The processes of ordering (self-organization) in an originally chaotic turbulent medium are addressed and treated in detail with the use ... 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

  • Ion Correlations at Electrified Soft Matter Interfaces

    by Nouamane Laanait ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Ion Correlations at Electrified Soft Matter Interfaces presents an investigation that combines experiments, theory, and computer simulations to demonstrate that the interdependency between ion correlations and other ion interactions in solution can explain the distribution of ions near an electrified liquid/liquid interface. The properties of this interface are exploited to vary the coupling ... Read more

  • Waves and Mean Flows

    by Oliver Bühler ...
    Series series Cambridge Monographs on Mechanics
    Interactions between waves and mean flows play a crucial role in understanding the long-term aspects of atmospheric and oceanographic modelling. Indeed, our ability to predict climate change hinges on our ability to model waves accurately. This book gives a modern account of the nonlinear interactions between waves and mean flows such as shear flows and vortices. A detailed account of the theory ... 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
