文档介绍：LAGRANGIAN FLUID DYNAMICS
The emergence of observing systems such as acoustically-tracked floats in
the deep ocean, and surface drifters navigating by satellite, has seen renewed
interest in Lagrangian fluid dynamics.
Starting from the foundations of elementary kinematics and assuming some
familiarity of Eulerian fluid dynamics, this book reviews the classical and new
exact solutions of the Lagrangian framework, and then addresses the general
solvability of the resulting general equations of motion. A unified account of
turbulent diffusion and dispersion is offered, with applications among others
to plankton patchiness in the ocean.
Designed as a graduate-level text and work of reference, the book provides
the first detailed prehensive analytical development of the Lagrangian
formulation of fluid dynamics, of interest not only to applied mathematicians
but also oceanographers, meteorologists, mechanical engineers, astrophysi-
cists and indeed all investigators of the dynamics of fluids.

Sciences, Oregon State University.
