<p>The dynamics of flows in density-stratified fluids has been and remains now an important topic for scientific enquiry. Such flows arise in many contexts, ranging from industrial settings to the oceanic and atmospheric environments. It is the latter topic which is the focus of this book. Both the
<p>Stratified flows, common in environmental and geophysical applications, are charΒ acterized by the variation of fluid density in the vertical direction that can result in qualitative and quantitative modifications of the flow patterns by buoyancy . Unstable stratification (dense water/air above l
This book provides an account of stratified flows as they are relevant to the ocean and atmosphere, with a primary focus on meso-scale phenomena. The first three chapters deal with oceanic and atmospheric internal solitary waves as a significant component of the dynamics of the coastal ocean and the
<p>The present lecture notes cover a first course in th~ most common types of stratified flows encountered in EnvironΒ mental Hydraulics. Most of the flows are buoyancy flows, i.e. currents in which gravity acts on small density differences. Part I presents the basic concepts of stagnant, densit- st
