A systematic account of the theory and modelling of rotating fluids
that highlights the remarkable advances in the area and brings
researchers and postgraduate students in atmospheres, oceanography,
geophysics, astrophysics and engineering to the frontiers of
research. Sufficient mathematical and numerical detail is provided
in a variety of geometries such that the analysis and results can
be readily reproduced, and many numerical tables are included to
enable readers to compare or benchmark their own calculations.
Traditionally, there are two disjointed topics in rotating fluids:
convective fluid motion driven by buoyancy, discussed by
Chandrasekhar (1961), and inertial waves and precession-driven
flow, described by Greenspan (1968). Now, for the first time in
book form, a unified theory is presented for three topics - thermal
convection, inertial waves and precession-driven flow - to
demonstrate that these seemingly complicated, and previously
disconnected, problems become mathematically simple in the
framework of an asymptotic approach that incorporates the essential
characteristics of rotating fluids.
