Waves in Geophysical Fluids

Waves in Geophysical Fluids: Tsunamis, Rogue Waves, Internal Waves and Internal Tides: 489 (CISM International Centre for Mechanical Sciences) by John Grue (Editor), Karsten Trulsen (Editor)

This book describes the forecasting and risk evaluation of tsunamis by tectonic motion, land slides, explosions, run-up, and maps the tsunami sources in the world's oceans. It presents stochastic Monte-Carlo simulations and focusing mechanisms for rogue waves, nonlinear wave models, breather formulas, and the kinematics of the Draupner wave. Coverage also reveals the full story about the discovery of the very large oceanic internal waves.

Handbook of High - Temperature Superconductivity

Handbook of High - Temperature Superconductivity: Theory and Experiment by J.S. Brooks (Adapter), J. Robert Schrieffer (Editor)

Since the 1980s, a general theme in the study of high-temperature superconductors has been to test the BCS theory and its predictions against new data. At the same time, this process has engendered new physics, new materials, and new theoretical frameworks. Remarkable advances have occurred in sample quality and in single crystals, in hole and electron doping in the development of sister compounds with lower transition temperatures, and in instruments to probe structure and dynamics.

Control of Turbulent and Magnetohydrodynamic Channel Flows

Control of Turbulent and Magnetohydrodynamic Channel Flows: Boundary Stabilization and State Estimation (Systems & Control: Foundations & Applications) by Rafael Vazquez (Author), Miroslav Krstic (Author)

This monograph presents new constructive design methods for boundary stabilization and boundary estimation for several classes of benchmark problems in flow control, with potential applications to turbulence control, weather forecasting, and plasma control. One of the main features of the book is a unique "backstepping" approach to parabolic partial differential equations, which yields not only the stabilization of the flow, but also the explicit solvability of the closed-loop system.

Catastrophes in Nature and Society: Mathematical Modeling of Complex Systems

Many people are concerned about crises leading to disasters in nature, in social and economic life. The book offers a popular account of the causative mechanisms of critical states and breakdown in a broad range of natural and cultural systems - which obey the same laws - and thus makes the reader aware of the origin of catastrophic events and the ways to avoid and mitigate their negative consequences.
