Overview
This collection of invited articles has been written by fluid dynamicists and applied mathematicians who have made significant contributions to the areas of nonlinear flow instabilities, chaotic motion and turbulence. Containing original research and survey articles, it provides a digest of current developments, together with open questions and unsolved problems which are likely to determine fruitful directions for future advanced study and research. Both thermal and shear flow systems are covered, while applications reviewed include aerodynamics and materials processing, geophysics, oceanography, atmospheric science and astrophysics.Editorials
Booknews
Ten invited papers by fluid dynamicists and applied mathematicians explore particular aspects of nonlinear instability, chaos, and turbulence. Topics include dynamical systems, vortex motions, internal wave-shear flow resonance, wave breaking, Ginzburg-Landau theory, thermal effects and plasma absorptions in laser materials processing, dynamo theory, and turbulent flows.
