With major implications for applied physics, engineering, and the
natural and social sciences, the rapidly growing area of
environmental fluid dynamics focuses on the interactions of human
activities, environment, and fluid motion. A landmark for the
field, the two-volume Handbook of Environmental Fluid Dynamics
presents the basic principles, fundamental flow processes, modeling
techniques, and measurement methods used in the study of
environmental motions. It also offers critical discussions of
environmental sustainability related to engineering. The handbook
features 81 chapters written by 135 renowned researchers from
around the world. Covering environmental, policy, biological, and
chemical aspects, it tackles important cross-disciplinary topics
such as sustainability, ecology, pollution, micrometeorology, and
limnology. Volume One: Overview and Fundamentals provides a
comprehensive overview of the basic principles. It starts with
general topics that emphasize the relevance of environmental fluid
dynamics research in society, public policy, infrastructure,
quality of life, security, and the law. It then discusses
established and emerging focus areas. The volume also examines the
sub-mesoscale flow processes and phenomena that form the building
blocks of environmental motions, with emphasis on turbulent motions
and their role in heat, momentum, and species transport. As
communities face existential challenges posed by climate change,
rapid urbanization, and scarcity of water and energy, the study of
environmental fluid dynamics becomes increasingly relevant. This
volume is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and
policymakers working to better understand the fundamentals of
environmental motions and how they affect and are influenced by
anthropogenic activities. See also Handbook of Environmental Fluid
