Energy Stability and Convection: Proceedings of the Workshop, Capri, May 1986

by Energy Stability and Convection, B. Straughan (Editor)

This volume contains papers arising from the meeting on Energy stability and convection, held in Capri in May 1986. It contains a timely account of several modern areas of research in nonlinear convection. Variational turbulence, weakly nonlinear stability theory, float-zone crystal growth and interfacial stability are among the topics described. The volume includes an extensive review of convection and the dynamo problem. Researchers and graduate students in geophysics, mathematics, physics and engineering. As some of the papers are expository, this book will be of interest to those who are not specialists in this area, but wish to learn more.Mathematics, Heat, Science, Physics, Convection Fluid Dynamics Congresses, Energy Stability and Convection, Stability Congresses, Capri 1986, Galdi, Straughan.
