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, this 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 fundamentals, including introductory
topics, general principles, and fundamental flow types. It
emphasizes the close relevance of environmental fluid dynamics
research in society, public policy, infrastructure, quality of
life, security, and the law. The book explores established and
emerging areas related to environmental fluid dynamics. It also
describes sub-mesoscale flow processes and phenomena that form the
building blocks of environmental motions. Volume Two: Systems,
Pollution, Modeling, and Measurements explores the interactions
between engineered structures and natural flows. It also discusses
the major topic of environmental pollution, with a focus on
numerical methods, predictive modeling, and computer infrastructure
developments. The book also looks at practical aspects of
laboratory experiments and field observations that validate
quantitative predictions and help identify new phenomena and
processes. 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 wide-ranging handbook is a valuable
resource for students, researchers, and policymakers working to
better understand natural motions and how they affect and are
influenced by anthropogenic activities.
