Beskrivning

This volume is a substantially revised new edition of the earlier book of the same title. Six new chapters (14-19) deal with topics of current interest: multi-component convection diffusion, convection in a compressible fluid, convenction with temperature dependent viscosity and thermal conductivity, penetrative convection, nonlinear stability in ocean circulation models, and numerical solution of eigenvalue problems. The book presents convection studies in a variety of fluid and porous media contexts. It begins at an elementary level and should be accessible to a wide audience of applied mathematicians, physicists, and engineers.

From the reviews of the second edition: "This application-oriented book is a revised edition ... more definitions, new interpretations and new results are included, some chapters are enlarged, 6 chapters are added. ... the presentation is very clear, making the book useful to undergraduate and graduate students in applied mathematics too. ... The main text and the very rich list of references reflect the interests and results of the author and his collaborators. The book makes a good contribution to the literature on stability of fluid flows ... ." (Adelina Georgescu, Mathematical Reviews, 2004i)
