Description and Table of Contents
Description
Coherent vortex structures emerge in quasi-2D flows, and the topic of this book is therefore relevant to researchers in oceanography, meteorology, fluid dynamics, plasma physics. The book is a collection of extended abstracts of contributions to an international meeting on coherent vortex structures, and provides a useful description of the state-of-the-art of the subject. Specific topics covered include stability/instability; self-organization of 2D flows; vortex interactions; effects of background flow and vorticity; topography; and advection properties. Modelling approaches covered are theoretical (analytical, maximization or minimization of physical properties); numerical (direct simulations, spectral methods, clusters of point vortices, contour dynamics, contour kinematics); and laboratory experiments (rotating and stratified fluids).
