First sentence: The models to be considered are the simplest imaginable: The flow is assumed two-dimensional and inviscid, and each strong vortex is represented as a 6-function singularity of the vorticity field.
Description: This book is a collection of papers presented at a symposium held in honor of Sidney Leibovich. Accordingly all papers deal with mathematical or computational aspects of fluid dynamics applied mostly to atmospheric or oceanographic problems. All contributions are research papers having not only specialists but also graduate students in mind.
