Num Pages: 344 pages, 151 b/w illus. 15 colour illus. 4 tables. BIC Classification: RBKC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 250 x 180 x 22. Weight in Grams: 878.
Double-diffusive convection is a mixing process driven by the interaction of two fluid components which diffuse at different rates. Leading expert Timour Radko presents the first systematic overview of the classical theory of double-diffusive convection in a coherent narrative, bringing together the disparate literature in this developing field. The book begins by exploring idealized dynamical models and illustrating key principles by examples of oceanic phenomena. Building on the theory, it then explains the dynamics of structures resulting from double-diffusive instabilities, such as the little-understood phenomenon of thermohaline staircases. The book also surveys non-oceanographic applications, such as industrial, astrophysical and geological ... Read more

Reviews for Double-Diffusive Convection
'The intimate connection between theory and data is a strength of this text … The content of [the book] could be effectively communicated in a classroom. While it is best suited for advanced graduate students in fluid dynamics or physical oceanography, students in other related fields would certainly learn a lot from this text.' Colin R. Meyer, Pure and Applied ... Read more
