A collection of 23 papers by international fluid dynamicists and applied mathematicians demonstrating the latest state-of-the-art in fluid mechanics. The four sections cover evolution in flow problems, convection and transport phenomena, dynamics of atmosphere, and wave propagation. Topics include peculiar velocity based upwind methods for compressible flows, particle aggregation and unsteady pipe flow characteristics of magnetic fluids, vortex sheets in plane strain and the fine structure of turbulence, interfacial tension between miscible liquids, heat and mass transfer in vertical annuli, asymptotic methods in magnetoconvection, dynamic modeling of the global change, and simple waves. The volume is intended for researchers. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
