Cambridge University Press Global Atmospheric and Oceanic Modelling
Book SynopsisCombining rigorous theory with practical application, this book provides a unified and detailed account of the fundamental equations governing atmospheric and oceanic fluid flow on which global, quantitative models of weather and climate prediction are founded. It lays the foundation for more accurate models by making fewer approximations and imposing dynamical and thermodynamical consistency, moving beyond the assumption that the Earth is perfectly spherical. A general set of equations is developed in a standard notation with clearly stated assumptions, limitations, and important properties. Some exact, non-linear solutions are developed to promote further understanding and for testing purposes. This book contains a thorough consideration of the fundamental equations for atmospheric and oceanic models, and is therefore invaluable to both theoreticians and numerical modellers. It also stands as an accessible source for reference purposes.Trade Review'Andrew Staniforth has produced a comprehensive and insightful book on the mathematical foundation of global atmosphere and oceanic modelling. For different geophysical fluid applications, he guides us masterfully from the first principles of fluid physics to their evolution equations. The book covers all the fundamental aspects of these equations including conservation laws and exact nonlinear solutions. This brilliant book is ideal for introducing graduate students to the subject matter as much as it is relevant for experts as a reference book.' Gilbert Brunet, Bureau of Meteorology, Melbourne'Well, this is an impressive book. It covers both the equations of motion and how those equations and their approximations can be used in models of the ocean and atmosphere. It is clearly written, careful and thorough, with a range and a depth that is unmatched elsewhere. It will be of immense value both to those interested in the fundamentals and those wishing to build models that have a sound foundation. It will be a standard for years to come.' Geoffrey K. Vallis, University of Exeter'This is the textbook I wish I'd had as a graduate student and course instructor! This is an incredibly comprehensive resource for students and researchers alike. I am confident the book will become the go to reference on atmospheric and oceanic modelling for the 2020s and beyond.' Andrew Weaver, University of Victoria'Global Atmospheric and Oceanic Modelling is bound to become a classic in the literature of Geophysical Fluid Dynamics. Written by a multi-decade insider to the design of the numerical “dynamical cores” that are at the heart of the models employed for both weather prediction and climate change projection, the book provides a meticulously documented development of dynamically and thermodynamically self-consistent sets of equations that are employed to describe the evolution of these geophysical fluids. Highlights of the book include a careful development of the influence of the ellipsoidal shape of the planet which acts through the gravitational field on the evolution of these fluid domains.' W. Richard Peltier, University of Toronto'This text is a tremendous resource for anyone looking for a rigorous, thorough treatment of the fundamental equations needed for the development of dynamical cores of numerical models for weather and climate, especially for those interested and/or involved in model design and development. The treatment is detailed, general, and exact without ad-hoc approximations or simplifications. This includes a more truthful representation of variations in gravity due to the geometry of the system. Andrew Staniforth offers the reader unique insights from his experience of an entire career as a leading scholar in the field.' Thomas Birner, University of MunichTable of ContentsPreface.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Modelling Subcooled Boiling Flows
Book SynopsisIn the context of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), modelling low-pressure subcooled boiling flow is of particular significance. A review is provided in this book of the various numerical modelling approaches that have been adopted to handle subcooled boiling flow. The main focus in the analysis of such a challenging problem can be broadly classified according into two important categories: (i) Heat transfer and wall heat flux partitioning during subcooled boiling flow at the heated wall and (ii) Two-phase flow and bubble behaviours in the bulk subcooled flow away from the heated wall. For the first category, details of both empirical and mechanistic models that have been proposed in the literature are given. The enhancement in heat transfer during forced convective boiling attributed by the presence of both sliding and stationary bubbles, force balance model for bubble departure and bubble lift-off as well as the evaluation of bubble frequency based on fundamental theory depict the many improvements that have been introduced to the current mechanistic model of heat transfer and wall heat flux partitioning. For the second category, details of applications of various empirical relationships and mechanistic model such as population balance model to determine the local bubble diameter in the bulk subcooled liquid that have been employed in the literature are also given. A comparison of the predictions with experimental data is demonstrated. For the local case, the model considering population balance and improved wall heat partition shows good agreement with the experimentally measured radial distributions of the Sauter mean bubble diameter, void fraction, interfacial area concentration and liquid velocity profiles. Significant weakness prevails however over the vapor velocity distribution. For the axial case, good agreement is also achieved for the axial distributions of the Sauter mean bubble diameter, void fraction and interfacial area concentration profiles. The present model correctly represents the plateau at the initial boiling stages at upstream, typically found in low-pressure subcooled boiling flows, followed by the significant rise of the void fraction at downstream.

Oxford University Press Theoretical Microfluidics Paperback
Book SynopsisMicrofluidics is a young and rapidly expanding scientific discipline, which deals with fluids and solutions in miniaturized systems, the so-called lab-on-a-chip systems. It has applications in chemical engineering, pharmaceutics, biotechnology and medicine. As the lab-on-a-chip systems grow in complexity, a proper theoretical understanding becomes increasingly important. The basic idea of the book is to provide a self-contained formulation of the theoretical framework of microfluidics, and at the same time give physical motivation and examples from lab-on-a-chip technology. After three chapters introducing microfluidics, the governing equations for mass, momentum and energy, and some basic flow solutions, the following 14 chapters treat hydraulic resistance/compliance, diffusion/dispersion, time-dependent flow, capillarity, electro- and magneto-hydrodynamics, thermal transport, two-phase flow, complex flow patterns and acousto-fluidics, as well as the new fields of opto- and nano-fluidTrade ReviewAn excellent text, very well written and pedagogically sound. Clear, concise, and complete, it explains the theoretical framework of microfluidics to a broad audience. * Kari Dalnoki-Veress, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario *Written in a highly pedagogical style. The reader, whether graduate, undergraduate or researcher will find this book extremely useful. * Patrick Tabeling, ESPCI Paris *The field is rapidly evolving to the point where it will become valuable, and indeed necessary, to do calculations to design real devices.
