Fluid Physics in Geology - An Introduction to Fluid Motions on Earth's Surface and Within its Crust (Hardcover)

Fluid Physics in Geology provides an introductory treatment of the physical and dynamical behavior of fluids, considering first how fluids behave in a general way, then looking more specifically at how they are involved in certain geological processes. The book is aimed at those interested in understanding fluid behavior and motion in the context of a wide variety of geological problems. Helpful example problems following each chapter illustrate applications of the material to realistic problems involving groundwater flows, magma dynamics, open-channel flows, and thermal convection.
