ABSTRACT
With major implications for applied physics, engineering, and the natural and social sciences, the rapidly growing area of environmental fluid dynamics focuses on the interactions of human activities, environment, and fluid motion. A landmark for the field, this two-volume handbook presents the basic principles, fundamental flow processes, modeling techniques, and measurement methods used in the field, along with critical discussions of environmental sustainability related to engineering aspects. The first volume provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals, and the second volume explores the interactions between engineered structures and natural flows.
Volume One: Overview and General Topics. Focus Areas for Study of Natural Systems. Fundamental Flow Phenomena and Turbulence. Volume Two: Engineered Systems and Anthropogenic Influence. Environmental Pollution. Numerical Modeling of Environmental Flows. Laboratory Modeling of Environmental Flows. Environmental Measurements.
