Chapman & Hall
A fully systematic treatment of the dynamics of vortex structures and their interactions in a viscous density stratified fluid is provided by this book. The various compact vortex structures such as monopoles, dipoles, quadrupoles, as well as more complex ones are considered theoretically from a physical point of view. Another essential feature of the book is the close combination of theoretical... Read more

Biography
Sergey I. Voropayev, Y.D. Afanasyev
"I found it a very useful exposition of ideas which I had known about in otherwise unrelated contexts. The relationship they have brought out between interacting eddies in two-dimensional turbulence flows generated by oscillated bodies is straightforward but not obvious, and it does help to have them treated in such a coherent and logical manner...The neat experimental methods developed to illustrate the flows and make graphic comparisons with theory also make this a visually appealing book which I can recommend to anyone interested in obtaining a clear physical understanding of vortex dynamics."
