✦ Synopsis

Starting with the description of meteorological variables in forest canopies and its parameter variations, a numerical three-dimentional model is developed. Its applicability is demonstrated, first, by wind sheltering effects of hedges and, second, by the effects of deforestation on local climate in complex terrain. Scientists in ecology, agricultural botany and meteorology, but also urban and regional lanners will profit from this study finding the most effective solution for their specific problems.

The 1st edition hardcover version of this book was slightly better. This book reads more like an encyclopedia than a serious text on numerical methods for reactive flow. The derivations are confusing. It is written in an early 1980s thesis style which makes it hard to follow. As with many CFD books,
