Variational formulation of fluid and geophysical fluid dynamics : mechanics, symmetries and conservation laws / Gualtiero Badin, Fulvio Crisciani.

This book describes the derivation of the equations of motion of fluids as well as the dynamics of ocean and atmospheric currents on both large and small scales through the use of variational methods. In this way the equations of Fluid and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics are re-derived making use of a un...
