Description for Applied Turbulence Modelling in Marine Waters
Paperback. Giving an overview of statistical turbulence modelling with applications to oceanography and limnology, this text discusses how these models can be derived from the Navier-Stokes equations, step-by-step simplifications result in models applicable to numerical simulations for realistic solutions. Series: Lecture Notes in Earth Sciences. Num Pages: 218 pages, 15 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PDE; PHDF; RBKC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 155 x 235 x 13. Weight in Grams: 352.
The simulation of turbulent mixing processes in marine waters is one of the most pressing tasks in oceanography. It is rendered difficult by the various complex phenomena occurring in these waters like strong stratification, ex ternal and internal waves, wind generated turbulence, Langmuir circulation etc. The need for simulation methods is especially great in this area because the physical processes cannot be investigated in the laboratory. Tradition ally, empirical bulk type models were used in oceanography, which, however, cannot account for many of the complex physical phenomena occurring. In engineering, statistical turbulence models describing locally the turbulence mixing processes were ... Read more
