Handbook of Environmental Fluid Dynamics, Volume Two (eBook, PDF)

Systems, Pollution, Modeling, and Measurements
Redaktion: Fernando, Harindra Joseph

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The Handbook of Environmental Fluid Dynamics 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. This second volume covers the interactions between engineered structures and natural flows as well as the major topic of environmental pollution, with a focus on numerical methods, predictive modeling, and computer infrastructure developments. The book also looks at practical aspects of laboratory experiments and field observations that validate quantitative predictions and help identify new phenomena and processes.
