Mathematical Geophysics

An introduction to rotating fluids and the Navier-Stokes equations

af Jean-Yves ( Chemin

Aimed at graduate students and researchers in mathematics, engineering, oceanography, meteorology and mechanics, this text provides a detailed introduction to the physical theory of rotating fluids, a significant part of geophysical fluid dynamics. The Navier-Stokes equations are examined in both incompressible and rapidly rotating forms.
