Cambridge Monographs on Mechanics synopsis

The discovery of coherent structures in turbulence has given rise to the hope that the study of vortices will produce models and an understanding of turbulent flow, thereby solving or at least making one of the deep problems of classical physics less ambiguous. Vortex dynamics is a natural model of the field of chaotic motion and modern dynamic system theory.

The focus of this study is on the classical theory of non-compressible liquids that contain limited areas of vortex. The effects of viscosity, compressibility, heterogeneity and amplification are of great importance in many areas of application, from ultrasonic flight to global environmental fluid mechanics. However, this volume focuses on those aspects of fluid movement that are primarily controlled by the vortex and these effects of other fluid properties are secondary.
