Mihailovic D.T., Gualtieri C. Advances in Environmental Fluid Mechanics

World Scientific Publishing Company, 2010. 380 p. — ISBN13: 978-981-4291-99-6б ISBN10: 981-4291-99-4.Environmental fluid mechanics (EFM) is the scientific study of transport, dispersion and transformation processes in natural fluid flows on our planet Earth, from the microscale to the planetary scale. This book brings together scientists and engineers working in research institutions, universities and academia, who engage in the study of theoretical, modeling, measuring and software aspects in environmental fluid mechanics. It provides a forum for the participants, and exchanges new ideas and expertise through the presentations of up-to-date and recent overall achievements in this field.Biographies of Editors and Contributors
