review: Editorial Reviews Review "Imberger explains some of the tools for waste cycling, rather than disposal, where all three stages of the process are given equal importance."-- Reference and Research Book News, December 2012 From the Back Cover 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. Key features Offers a unique, authoritative, and accessible treatment of the subject. Includes appropriate mathematical expressions without the burden of difficult, extensive notation. Provides a unifying foundation for specialized books on hydraulics, physical limnology, estuarine dynamics, and coastal oceanography. | 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.
