Spatial inhomogeneity of heating of fluids in the gravity field is
the cause of all motions in nature: in the atmosphere and the
oceans on Earth, in astrophysical and planetary objects. All
natural objects rotate and convective motions in rotating fluids
are of interest in many geophysical and astrophysical phenomena. In
many industrial applications, too (crystal growth, semiconductor
manufacturing), heating and rotation are the main mechanisms
defining the structure and quality of the material. Depending on
the geometry of the systems and the mutual orientation of
temperature and gravity field, a variety of phenomena will arise in
rotating fluids, such as regular and oscillating waves, intensive
solitary vortices and regular vortex grids, interacting vortices
and turbulent mixing. In this book the authors elucidate the
physical essence of these phenomena, determining and classifying
flow regimes in the space of similarity numbers. The theoretical
and computational results are presented only when the results help
to explain basic qualitative motion characteristics. The book will
be of interest to researchers and graduate students in fluid
mechanics, meteorology, oceanography and astrophysics,
crystallography, heat and mass transfer.
