READING LIST

M. Van Dyke, An Album of Fluid Motion, Parabolic Press 1982. This is a unique collection of photographs of fluid flow in a wide variety of contexts.

D.J. Tritton, Physical Fluid Dynamics, 2nd edition, Oxford, 1988. Intended for those from a physical rather than mathematical background. Chapter 26 is a good review of fluid-dynamical applications.

D.J. Acheson, Elementary Fluid Dynamics, Oxford 1990. Provides a thorough introduction to the subject. (Chapters 4 and 8 are the least relevant to the material of the Summer School).

Perspectives in Fluid Dynamics: A Collective Introduction to Current Research. Eds. G. K. Batchelor, H.K. Moffatt and M.G. Worster. Cambridge University Press, 2000.

B. Cushman-Roisin, Introduction to Geophysical Fluid Dynamics, Prentice- Hall International (UK) Limited, 1994.

R.P. Feynman, Feynman Lectures, vol. II, Addison Wesley, 1964. Chapters 40 and 41 give a stimulating introduction to fluid dynamics.

Those participants who have a mathematics or pure science training and who have not yet been exposed to the physics of atmosphere and ocean might consult:

J.G. Harvey, Atmosphere and Ocean, Artemis Press, 1976. Much interesting background material is contained in The Times Atlas and Encyclopedia of the Sea, 2nd edition, ed. A. Couper, Times Books 1989. (1st edition published 1983 as The Times Atlas of the Oceans.)

The Summer School will assume mathematics at the level typically taught in a physical science or engineering degree. Those who have had no substantial mathematical training since A level should make every effort to familiarise themselves with ordinary differential equations and vector calculus. The following books might be useful:

G. Arfken, Mathematical Methods for Physicists, 3rd edition, Academic, 1985. Chapter 1.

E. Kreyszig, Advanced Engineering Mathematics, 6th edition, Wiley, 1988. Chapters 1 and 2 - ordinary differential equations. Chapters 6, 8 and 9 - vector calculus.

S. Simons, Vector Analysis for Mathematicians, Scientists and Engineers, 2nd edition, Pergamon, 1970.

The first chapter of Feynman Lectures, vol. II, mentioned above gives a physically based introduction to vector calculus. Participants will, of course, be able to seek advice on the mathematics underpinning the course material from the lecturers and others.
