Environmental Fluid Mechanics provides comprehensive coverage of a combination of basic fluid principles and their application in a number of different situations-exploring fluid motions on the earth's surface, underground, and in oceans-detailing the use of physical and numerical models and modern computational approaches for the analysis of environmental processes. Environmental Fluid Mechanics covers novel scaling methods for a variety of environmental issues; equations of motion for boundary layers; hydraulic characteristics of open channel flow; surface and internal wave theory; the advection diffusion equation; sediment and associated contaminant transport in lakes and streams; mixed layer modeling in lakes; remediation; transport processes at the air/water interface; and more.
This text investigates the fundamental principles of fluid mechanics as they apply to complex environmental systems on the Earth's surface, within the oceans, and underground. Hillel Rubin, an expert in environmental engineering, synthesizes classical fluid dynamics with modern computational modeling to address the movement of water and pollutants. The book provides a rigorous framework for analyzing environmental processes, bridging the gap between theoretical physics and practical engineering applications.
