IUTAM Symposium on Turbulence in the Atmosphere and Oceans: by Michael E. McIntyre (auth.), David Dritschel (eds.)

By Michael E. McIntyre (auth.), David Dritschel (eds.)

This booklet stems from the IUTAM symposium “Rotating Stratified Turbulence and Turbulence within the surroundings and Oceans” which happened on the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge from eight to twelve December 2008, and got here on the finish of a four-month Programme on “High Reynolds quantity Turbulence”.

This symposium, generally attended by means of researchers from world wide, aimed to higher comprehend the advanced nature of fluid flows present in Nature, relatively within the Earth’s surroundings and oceans, but additionally in different planetary atmospheres and within the Sun’s inside. Talks lined a extensive diversity of matters, from theoretical reviews of primary vortex interactions, to laboratory experiments and observations, and to cutting-edge computational experiences.

The current quantity provides a cross-section of the study provided on the symposium, or at times, of the examine encouraged by means of it. Herein, 23 peer-reviewed papers are accrued (39 talks have been presented). The examine is loosely divided into 4 major subject matters: (1) Waves and Imbalance, (2) Turbulence and Convection, (3) Instability and Vortex Dynamics, and (4) Jets: Formation and Structure.
