Geometrical methods in fluid dynamics : 1993 Summer study program in fluid dynamics

Abstract

"Geometrcal methods in fluid dynamics" were the subject of the 1993 GFD session. Paricipants explored the applications of Hamiltonian fluid mechanics and related ideas about symmetry and conservation laws to problems in geophysical fluid dynamics. Phil Morrson and Ted Shephere offered an intensive introductory course (of which a detailed summary appears in this volume.) Subsequent lecturers explored a full range of currently interesting topics in geophysical fluid dynamics.
