| Title | Modeling Complex Turbulent Flows |
| Author(s) | Salas, Manuel D;Hefner, Jerry N;Sakell, Leonidas |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 1999. |
| Description | X, 385 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Turbulence modeling both addresses a fundamental problem in physics, 'the last great unsolved problem of classical physics,' and has far-reaching importance in the solution of difficult practical problems from aeronautical engineering to dynamic meteorology. However, the growth of supercom?? puter facilities has recently caused an apparent shift in the focus of tur?? bulence research from modeling to direct numerical simulation (DNS) and large eddy simulation (LES). This shift in emphasis comes at a time when claims are being made in the world around us that scientific analysis itself will shortly be transformed or replaced by a more powerful 'paradigm' based on massive computations and sophisticated visualization. Although this viewpoint has not lacked ar?? ticulate and influential advocates, these claims can at best only be judged premature. After all, as one computational researcher lamented, 'the com?? puter only does what I tell it to do, and not what I want it to do. ' In turbulence research, the initial speculation that computational meth?? ods would replace not only model-based computations but even experimen?? tal measurements, have not come close to fulfillment. It is becoming clear that computational methods and model development are equal partners in turbulence research: DNS and LES remain valuable tools for suggesting and validating models, while turbulence models continue to be the preferred tool for practical computations. We believed that a symposium which would reaffirm the practical and scientific importance of turbulence modeling was both necessary and timely |

| Title | Astrophysical Plasmas and Fluids |
| Author(s) | Balakrishnan, VINOD |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 1999. |
| Description | XV, 358 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Life was simple when the dynamic, the spectral and the resolving powers of our instruments were small. One observed whole objects - planets, stars, sunspots, galaxies, often in rainbow colours. Then the revolution occurred: we acquired the centimetric eyes, the mil?? limetric eyes, the infrared eyes, the ultraviolet eyes, the X-ray eyes and the ,-ray eyes. With these we see mottles on the surface of stars, streams in sunspots, and spirals in nuclei of galaxies. We see regions of multiple mass densities and temperatures in a precari?? ous balance, losing it occasionally, exhaling flares. The universe is timed, cosmic phenomena are clocked; eternity is lost and variabil?? ity is bought. Microarcsecond resolutions revealed stirring and siz?? zling interiors underneath serene surfaces. Short durations and small scales demanded employing a discipline with similar attributes - the discipline of Plasmas and Fluids - known more for its complexity than for its felicity. Some would like to wish it away. We shall learn about plasmas for it is too little familiarity that breeds fear. Complexity can be systemized, to a large extent, by looking for a common denominator among apparently disparate phe?? nomena. It is not immediately obvious what the contents and the style of a graduate level course on plasmas and fluids aimed at understanding astrophysical phenomena should be. Plasmas and fluids are huge subjects by themselves. The cosmic phenomena where plasmas and fluids playa definite role are equally diverse and numerous |

| Title | Reconstructing Ocean History : A Window into the Future |
| Author(s) | Abrantes, Fatima;Mix, Alan |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer US, 1999. |
| Description | IX, 443 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This volume is one outcome of the 6th International Conference on Paleoceano?? graphy (ICP VI). The conference was held August 23-28, 1998 in Lisbon, Portugal. The meeting followed the traditional format of a small number of invited oral presentations complemented by a large number ofcontributed posters. Over 550 participants attended, representing thirty countries and nearly 450 posters were presented. The invited speakers addressed the main themes of the 5oral sessions. The session topics were: Polar-Tropical and Interhemisphere Linkages; Does the Ocean Cause, or Respond to, Abrupt Climatic Changes?; Biotic Responses to Major Paleoceanographic Changes; Past Warm Climates; and Innovations In Monitoring Ocean History. This is the first time in ICP history that the Conference Proceedings are published. The aim of the organisers with the publication of this book is two-fold: to provide a useful review of the field and to document the ideas/controversies raised during the con?? ference that may stimulate future work. The book reflects the initial intentions of the conference, but it is not a conven?? tional conference proceedings, given that the papers have been reviewed by formal exter?? nal referees. Each of the conference topics is introduced by a review article designed to summarize the state of the art in each theme followed by articles prepared by the invited speakers. As with most conference proceedings, each theme is covered heterogenously. Some topics have all the expected contributions, others are less well covered |

| Title | Turbulence in Fluids |
| Author(s) | Lesieur, Marcel |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 1997. |
| Description | XXXII, 520 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Turbulence is a dangerous topic which is often at the origin of serious fights in the scientific meetings devoted to it since it represents extremely different points of view, all of which have in common their complexity, as well as an inability to solve the problem. It is even difficult to agree on what exactly is the problem to be solved. Extremely schematically, two opposing points of view have been ad?? vocated during these last twenty years: the first one is "statistical", and tries to model the evolution of averaged quantities of the flow. This com?? munity, which has followed the glorious trail of Taylor and Kolmogorov, believes in the phenomenology of cascades, and strongly disputes the possibility of any coherence or order associated to turbulence. On the other bank of the river stands the "coherence among chaos" community, which considers turbulence from a purely deterministic po?? int of view, by studying either the behaviour of dynamical systems, or the stability of flows in various situations. To this community are also associated the experimentalists who seek to identify coherent structures in shear flows |

| Title | Dynamical and Chemical Coupling Between the Neutral and Ionized Atmosphere : Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute held at Sp??tind, Norway, April 12???22,1977 |
| Author(s) | Grandal, B;Holtet, J.A |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 1977. |
| Description | XX, 392 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | These proceedings are based upon the review lectures, the re?? search talks and the accompanying discussion from the NATO Advanced Study Institute on "The Dynamical and Chemical Coupling of the Neutral and Ionized Atmosphere" held at Spatind, Norway April 12-22, 1977. In recent years, in spite of the many subdivisions of atmospher?? ic physics it has become clear that a complete understanding of the subject matter requires an interdisciplinary effort of the scien?? tists working on a variety of atmospheric phenomena. This Advanced Study Institute was organized in order to meet this demand. A number of eminent scientists were invited to review the major subfields in atmospheric physics and expose the areas where the coupling between the neutral and ionized atmosphere is evident. These review papers were supported by current research results. However, the material covered here is by no means complete con?? sidering the range of subject matter covered by the title. The re?? sponsibility for this inadequacy lies with the editors and the pro?? gram committee, rather than with the individual contributors. Oslo, June 1977. B. Grandal J.A. Holtet.

| Title | Advances in Turbulence VII : Proceedings of the Seventh European Turbulence Conference, held in Saint-Jean Cap Ferrat, France, 30 June ??? 3 July 1998 / Actes de la Septi??me Conf??rence Europ??enne de Turbulence, tenue ?? Saint-Jean Cap Ferrat, France, 30 Juin ??? 3 Juillet 1998 |
| Author(s) | Frisch, Uriel |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 1998. |
| Description | XXI, 613 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Advances in Turbulence VII contains an overview of the state of turbulence research with some bias towards work done in Europe. It represents an almost complete collection of the invited and contributed papers delivered at the Seventh European Turbulence Conference, sponsored by EUROMECH and ERCOFTAC and organized by the Observatoire de la C??te d'Azur. New high-Reynolds number experiments combined with new techniques of imaging, non-intrusive probing, processing and simulation provide high-quality data which put significant constraints on possible theories. For the first time, it has been shown, for a class of passive scalar problems, why dimensional analysis sometimes gives the wrong answers and how anomalous intermittency corrections can be calculated from first principles. The volume is thus geared towards specialists in the area of flow turbulence who could not attend the conference as well as anybody interested in this rapidly moving field |

| Title | Buoyant Convection in Geophysical Flows |
| Author(s) | Plate, Erich J;Fedorovich, E.E;Viegas, Domingos X;Wyngaard, J.C |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 1998. |
| Description | IX, 491 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Studies of convection in geophysical flows constitute an advanced and rapidly developing area of research that is relevant to problems of the natural environment. During the last decade, significant progress has been achieved in the field as a result of both experimental studies and numerical modelling. This led to the principal revision of the widely held view on buoyancy-driven turbulent flows comprising an organised mean component with superimposed chaotic turbulence. An intermediate type of motion, represented by coherent structures, has been found to play a key role in geophysical boundary layers and in larger scale atmospheric and hydrospheric circulations driven by buoyant forcing. New aspects of the interaction between convective motions and rotation have recently been discovered and investigated. Extensive experimental data have also been collected on the role of convection in cloud dynamics and microphysics. New theoretical concepts and approaches have been outlined regarding scaling and parameterization of physical processes in buoyancy-driven geophysical flows. The book summarizes interdisciplinary studies of buoyancy effects in different media (atmosphere and hydrosphere) over a wide range of scales (small scale phenomena in unstably stratified and convectively mixed layers to deep convection in the atmosphere and ocean), by different research methods (field measurements, laboratory simulations, numerical modelling), and within a variety of application areas (dispersion of pollutants, weather forecasting, hazardous phenomena associated with buoyant forcing) |
