Contents:
Equations, General Concepts and Nondimensional Numbers -- Rayleigh-̌Bnard Convection with Rotation -- Spherical Shells, Rossby Waves and Centrifugally Driven Thermal Convection -- The Baroclinic Problem -- The Quasi-Geostrophic Theory -- Planetary Patterns -- Surface-Tension-Driven Flows in Rotating Fluids -- Crystal Growth from the Melt and Rotating Machinery -- Rotating Magnetic Fields -- Angular Vibrations and Rocking Motions
Summary: "In this context, it is expressly shown how the aforementioned isomorphism between small and large scale phenomena becomes beneficial to the definition and ensuing development of an integrated comprehensive framework allowing the reader to understand and assimilate the underlying quintessential mechanisms without requiring, however, familiarity with specific literature on the subject"-- Provided by publisher
