Physics and Ecology in Fluids: Modeling and Numerical Experiments develops mathematical and numerical modeling methodologies for coupled biological-hydrodynamic problems with a focus on process studies.� The modeling is presented in a way that discusses mathematical background but does not depend on a large body of mathematical pre-requisites or experience.� Models are built up from simple, to complex.� This includes discussion of approximations and shortcuts commonly made by large computational models for natural bodies of water. Computational approaches are presented using conceptual explanations and pseudo-code along with well-documented, open-source code.� Over a dozen codes that run locally on the reader's laptop provide hands on experience with various aspects of the modeling process and its scientific results.� One large-scale code for basin scale modeling based on the Discontinuous Galerkin methodology is presented, along with a self-contained discussion of theoretical background and implementation details.

Physics and Ecology in Fluids is written for graduate students, academic researchers and government scientists.� Professors can use the book as a stand-alone resource for a one term graduate course, or to supplement teaching of their own graduate courses.� All readers may also use the book as background/user's guide for the software included with the book.

Presents accessible codes along with clear explanations of the mathematical modeling process that leads up to the code Provides a consistent development of the mathematical models for hydrodynamic and biological modeling, which are rarely covered together Includes an informal, discussion-style tone throughout, but with serious applied mathematics content, allowing a level of detail relevant for multiple reader types

This monograph provides a concise overview of nonlinear internal wave theory. It serves as a self-contained reference for both students of mathematics as well as scientific professionals by presenting the material in two parts, isolating the narrative analysis from the mathematical detail. This unique format allows the text to remain accessible to oceanographers and researchers outside of mathematics by presenting a range of relevant theories on their own terms. Conversely, it enables applied mathematicians to understand how the conversation between mathematics and sciences proceeds in a field that has developed through a combination of the two. In addition, the text is supplemented by hands-on Matlab software, as the book incorporates a collection of working codes that enable readers to reproduce all theoretical figures in the text, with modification potential to fit a range of applications including a number of mini-projects outlined throughout the text.
