More DescriptionThis book comprehensively describes all aspects of gravity flow, a physical process that is covered by many different disciplines, including meteorology, oceanography, the earth sciences and many industrial processes. The first edition was very well received, and the new edition has been brought completely up to date, with much new material. Gravity Currents is a valuable supplementary textbook for undergraduates and a reference work for research workers. The general reader will also find much of interest, since the physics of the flows involved is clearly described without advanced mathematics, with numerous photographs and illustrations.
