Written for researchers, students and engineers who are involved with the study, interpretation and prediction of gravity current flows in fluids, this textbook uses a mathematical framework to interpret experimental results and measurements. Ungarish (computer science, Israel Institute of Technology) provides the fundamentals of both non-stratified ambient currents and stratified ambient currents and intrusions. Essential mathematical tools such as the Navier-Stokes numerical simulations, SW equations for finite- difference schemes and Leibniz's Theorem are also provided.
