Environmental stratified flows

The volume covers the theory of stratified flows, from basic concepts to recent developments in the area of environmental fluid mechanics. The state of art of numerical techniques suited for stratified flows is given. Results of very recent researches in the areas of environmental stratified flows are discussed with details. The topics are treated in four separate chapters. The volume gives a unified view of stratified turbulent flows, from small-scale mixing, to large-scale environmental phenomena, also including detailed discussion on interaction between turbulence and internal gravity waves. The book will serve as an important review tool for all the scientists involved in the investigation of small scale as well as geophysical stratified flows.
