Instabilities are present in all natural fluids from rivers to
atmospheres. This book considers the physical processes that
generate instability. Part I describes the normal mode
instabilities most important in geophysical applications, including
convection, shear instability and baroclinic instability. Classical
analytical approaches are covered, while also emphasising numerical
methods, mechanisms such as internal wave resonance, and simple
`rules of thumb' that permit assessment of instability quickly and
intuitively. Part II introduces the cutting edge: nonmodal
instabilities, the relationship between instability and turbulence,
self-organised criticality, and advanced numerical techniques.
Featuring numerous exercises and projects, the book is ideal for
advanced students and researchers wishing to understand flow
instability and apply it to their own research. It can be used to
teach courses in oceanography, atmospheric science, coastal
engineering, applied mathematics and environmental science.
Exercise solutions and MATLAB (R) examples are provided online.
Also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
