Course books   Evaluation

The course starts by introducing the conservation equations frequently used to describe fluid. Subsequently, the students are exposed to the various dynamics that emerge from the application of these equations through a suite of examples: flow of the atmospheric boundary layer, fluid-structures interactions and flow in urban areas, open channel and river flows, lake dynamics, flow in estuaries, open-ocean flows, and coastal dynamics. The course concludes with an overview of the effects of stratification and earth rotation on environmental flows and an introduction to large scale atmospheric and oceanic circulations.
