ATOC-5400 (3) Introduction to Fluid Dynamics

Covers equations of fluid motion relevant to planetary atmospheres and oceans, and stellar atmospheres; effects of rotation and viscosity; and vorticity dynamics, boundary layers, and wave motions. Introduces instability theory, nonlinear equilibration, and computational methods in fluid dynamics. Department enforeced rereq., partial differential equations or equivalent. Same as ASTR 5400. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
