Description for Advances in Fluvial Dynamics and Stratigraphy
Hardcover. This book reviews recent advances in geology and hydrodynamics in an effort to promote increased dialogue between sedimentary geologists, geomorphologists and hydrodynamicists. It focuses initially on hydrodynamics of turbulent flow, followed by two and three dimensional flow through straight and curved channels and flow over bed topography. Editor(s): Carling, P.A.; Dawson, Martin. Num Pages: 546 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: RBGB; RBGD; RBGH; RBKF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 252 x 176 x 36. Weight in Grams: 1102.
Developments in the modelling of sediment transport in rivers and the interactions with the river-bed have been remarkable over the last two decades. This progress has increased the understanding of the nature of turbulence, and the ability to replicate mathematically simple flow-particle interactions which can be observed experimentally. In addition, quite elegant models of stratigraphic complexes have evolved because of the growing computational power available to scientists. As always, additional knowledge has raised even more intriguing questions and the quest for explanation of phenomena has led to increased specialisation. Therefore, there are few fluid dynamicists or sedimentologists who can successfully ... Read more
