Description

This is a graduate-level textbook for students in the natural sciences. After reviewing the necessary math, it describes the logical path from Newton's laws of motion to our modern understanding of fluid mechanics. It does not describe engineering applications but instead focuses on phenomena found in nature. Once developed, the theory is applied to three familiar examples of flows that can be observed easily in Earth's atmosphere, oceans, rivers and lakes: vortices, interfacial waves, and hydraulic transitions. The student will then have both (1) the tools to analyze a wide range of naturally-occurring flows and (2) a solid foundation for more advanced studies in atmospheric dynamics and physical oceanography. Appendices give more detailed explanations and optional topics.

Author Biography:

William Smyth earned a Ph.D. in atmospheric physics at the University of Toronto in 1990, and is today a professor of physical oceanography at Oregon State University. He has taught courses on atmospheric dynamics, climate change, fluid mechanics, descriptive oceanography, geophysical waves, instabilities and ocean turbulence both in the US and abroad. He has published two books and over 70 peer-reviewed research papers. When not doing science, he performs in rock bands.
