Book Description
Those interested in fluid dynamics and the related fields of oceanography, meteorology, and mechanical, aerospace, chemical, and civil engineering. This monograph is a report of a meeting sponsored by the National Science Foundation to determine research trends and consequent funding/research needs in fluid dynamics. The book covers major industries, technologies, and environmental issues affected by fluid mechanics, as well as the direction future research in the field should take. The areas covered not only fill important gaps in the literature, they are crucial to the resolution of serious global and regional environmental problems. In addition, the book emphasizes the impact of the research areas on commercial questions and on issues affecting public policy.
