Variational Formulation of Fluid and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics

This book describes the derivation of the equations of motion of fluids as well as the dynamics of ocean and atmospheric currents on both large and small scales through the use of variational methods.

Aceasta carte descrie derivarea ecuatiilor de miscare a fluidelor, precum si dinamica curentilor oceanici si atmosferici, atat la scara mare, cat si la scara mica, prin utilizarea metodelor variationale. In acest fel, ecuatiile dinamicii fluidelor si a fluidei geofizice sunt derivate folosind un principiu unificator, adica principiul lui Hamilton pentru cea mai mica actiune.
