Coherent Flow Structures at Earth’s Surface [EPUB ebook] 

Dukung

An expert review of recent progress in the study of turbulent
flows with a focus on recently identified organized
structures.
This book reviews the recent progress in the study of the turbulent
flows that sculpt the Earth’s surface, focusing in
particular on the organized structures that have been identified in
recent years within turbulent flows. These coherent flow
structures can include eddies or vortices at the scale of
individual grains, through structures that scale with the flow
depth in rivers or estuaries, to the large-scale structure of flows
at the morphological or landform scale. These flow structures
are of wide interest to the scientific community because they play
an important role in fluid dynamics and influence the
transport, erosion and deposition of sediment and
pollutants in a wide variety of fluid flow
environments.
Scientific knowledge of these structures has improved greatly
over the past 20 years as computational fluid dynamics has
come to play an increasing important part in building our
understanding of coherent flow structures across a broad range
of scales.
Chapters comprise a series of major, invited papers and a
selection of the most novel, innovative papers presented at
the second Coherent Flow Structures Conference held August 3-5,
2011 at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British
Columbia.
Chapters focus on six major themes:
* Dynamics of coherent flow structures (CFS) in geophysical
flows
* Interaction of turbulent flows, vegetation and ecological
habitats
* Coherent structure of atmospheric flows
* Numerical modeling of coherent flow structures
* Turbulence in open channel flows
* Coherent flow structures, sediment transport and morphological
feedbacks.
