Gravity currents and intrusions are the ubiquitous phenomena where
a fluid of one density flows horizontally into a fluid of a
different density. For researchers and engineers, the ability to
understand and predict these flow fields is essential in
wide-ranging applications including those involved with atmospheric
and ocean dynamics, the propagation of pollutants, and the
dispersion of volcanic clouds. Although many new theories,
experimental data, simulation results, and insights have surfaced
recently, most of these developments remain scattered in journals
and conference papers. A systematic and unified introduction to the
field, which incorporates the new results and developments, is
bound to facilitate the application of the available knowledge to
both practical problems and further investigations. Written by a
recognized authority active in recent developments in gravity
current research, An Introduction to Gravity Currents and
Intrusions provides an up-to-date, self-contained, and systematic
introduction to the study, interpretation, and prediction of
gravity current flows. The author uses a simple mathematical
framework to provide an accessible and comprehensive introduction
to the mathematical and physical aspects of this important topic.
The text supplies researchers and practitioners with the foundation
required to formulate problems, interpret experimental results and
measurements data, obtain simple and insightful analytical
estimates and solutions, and develop or implement numerical codes
for related problems. The book also points out gaps of knowledge in
the current understanding that require further research. This
accessible reference requires only a basic background in fluid
mechanics and applied mathematics, making it an ideal starting
place for researchers and engineers new to the field. It can also
serve as a textbook for upper-level undergraduate and graduate
level courses in flu
