| Abstract |
The book brings the attention of marine ecologists, oceanographers and marine engineers to how ocean waters interact with, influence and constrain life in the ocean. The physical processes are made intelligible to biologists with a modicum of mathematics and the nature of life in the sea is presented in an understandable manner for oceanographers and engineers. In Part I of the book, classical fluid mechanics such as laminar and turbulent flow, boundary layers, and forces induced by flow are examined. Part II deals with large-scale flows, such as waves, large ocean currents, and tides, which are beyond the scope of classic fluid mechanics. In Part III, the link between hydrodynamics of ocean flows and marine ecology is demonstrated by examples of selected, well-established phenomena and processes. The CD-ROM contains 12 ready to use computer programs on the calculation, representation and simulation of various processes. |
