Von der hinteren Coverseite

Environmental Fluid Dynamics: Flow Processes, Scaling, Equations of Motion, and Solutions to Environmental Flows introduces the principles of fluid dynamics, follows with simple applications, and builds to more complex applications experienced in the field. This book provides the foundation for the management of both the physical and ecological wellbeing of lakes, rivers, wetlands, estuaries and coastal seas. Professor Jörg Imberger uses his experience from years of lecturing and participating in projects in over 20 countries to organize the text to best facilitate a fundamental understanding of the fluid mechanical processes which control the sources, pathways, and fates of anthropogenic influences in various components of hydrologically interconnected environments.
