  • More about Topographic Effects in Stratified Flows

This text covers the behavior of homogeneous and density-stratified fluids over and around topography, suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and practitioners. It explores topics such as single-layer flow, stratified flows, and applications to the atmosphere and ocean, with a restructured and updated edition.

Publisher: Cambridge University Press


This comprehensive text delves into the intricate behaviour of homogeneous and density-stratified fluids across and around topography, encompassing both theoretical principles and experimental observations. Designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in fluid mechanics, as well as practising scientists, engineers, and researchers, its presentation is tailored to enhance understanding and facilitate practical applications. Through a combination of laboratory experiments and illustrative examples, the author explores a wide range of topics, ranging from the classical hydraulics of single-layer flow to more complex scenarios involving stratified flows over two- and three-dimensional terrain, including intricate landscapes. A significant emphasis is placed on exploring applications to the atmosphere and ocean, encompassing discussions of downslope windstorms, oceanic flow over continental shelves and slopes, and other relevant phenomena.

In order to enhance accessibility and currency, this new edition has undergone a restructuring process to make the content more concise and up-to-date. It incorporates significant developments in areas such as exchange flows, gravity currents, waves in stratified fluids, stability, and applications to the atmosphere and ocean. By presenting a holistic and interdisciplinary approach, this text serves as a valuable resource for scholars and professionals seeking to deepen their knowledge and expertise in fluid dynamics and its diverse applications.
