The emergence of observing systems such as acoustically-tracked floats in the deep ocean, and surface drifters navigating by satellite has seen renewed interest in Lagrangian fluid dynamics. Starting from the foundations of elementary kinematics and assuming some familiarity of Eulerian fluid dynamics, this book reviews the classical and new exact solutions of the Lagrangian framework, and then addresses the general solvability of the resulting general equations of motion. A unified account of turbulent diffusion and dispersion is offered, with applications among others to plankton patchiness in the ocean.

Starting from the foundations of elementary kinematics and assuming some familiarity of Eularian fluid dynamics, this book reviews the classical and new exact solutions of the Lagrangian framework, and then addresses the general solvability of the resulting general equations of motion. Written at graduate level, the book provides the first detailed and comprehensive analytical development of the Lagrangian formulation of fluid dynamics, of interest not only to applied mathematicians but also oceanographers, meteorologists, mechanical engineers, astrophysicists and indeed all investigators of the dynamics of fluids.
Andrew Bennett is Professor at the College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences, Oregon State University.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The use of Lagrangian observation systems such as acoustically-tracked floats in the ocean and satellite navigated surface drifters requires a detailed and comprehensive development of the Lagrangian formulation of fluid dynamics. Professor Bennett's book is therefore a timely attempt to develop an understanding of the Lagrangian formulation for graduate students and researchers alike. The general solvability of the equations of motion is addressed and a unified account of turbulent diffusion and dispersion is offered. Application areas such as plankton patchiness in the ocean are also explored.
