Tsunamis and Hurricanes (eBook)
VII, 197 Seiten
Springer Wien (Verlag)
978-3-211-33159-0 (ISBN)
This book presents new research on the mathematical description of tsunamis and hurricanes. The description includes dissipative terms and does not contain singularities or two valued functions. The book uses the equivalence principle of solutions of nonlinear large gas dynamic waves and of solutions of water wave equations. An extension of the continuity equation by a source term due to evaporation rates of salt seawater help to understand hurricanes. Detailed formula, tables, and results of the calculations are given.
The author Ferdinand Cap is Professor Emeritus for Theoretical Physics at the University of Innsbruck, Austria. He holds a MS and PhD (under the honourable auspices of the President of the Republic of Austria) and was awarded the Rutherford Medal of the Soviet Academy of Sciences. His career includes serving as assistant to Erwin Schroedinger, Senior Research Associate at NASA and the University of Princeton, NJ, Plasma Laboratory. He has been guest or visiting Professor at leading institutions around the world including the USA, Russia, South Africa, Japan, India and nearly all European countries. He specializes in hydrodynamics and plasma physics as well as mathematical methods in physics and engineering, and has written several textbooks in these fields.
