Fluid dynamics and dynamos in astrophysics and geophysics : reviews emerging from the Durham Symposium on Astrophysical Fluid Mechanics, July 29 to August 8, 2002 / edited by Andrew M. Soward [and others].
The increasing power of computer resources along with great improvements in observational data have led to rapid advances in astrophysical fluid dynamics in recent years. Bringing together geophysicists, astrophysicists, and experimenters, this book reviews the current status of the field and provid...
