Book Description

The Little Book of Planet Earth presents a concise description of the geological evolution of Earth from its formation. Meissner describes in detailed but accessible prose not just the planet's features, but the tools that modern geologists use to explore and track the ever-changing subterranean and surface features of the planet. With a particular gift for expressing how the forces in and around our planet constantly alter the world we live in, the author introduces lay readers to the key topics in modern earth and planetary science: the creation of Earth and its moon (as well as stars and other planets), the role of seismology in analyzing Earth's structure, the formation of mountain ranges and basins, the role of plate tectonics, the significance of Earth's magnetic field, and the complex relationship of our planet's geology to the life forms found there.

The Little Book of Planet Earth.......2004-03-18

If you want a well-written, concise but accessable account of the formation and geological evolution of our planet, I would highly recommend this book. Without getting overly technical, it will really get you up to speed on the current understanding the Earth's history, and will leave you with a greater appreciation for the its and, therefore, our existence.

Highly recommended for readers of all ages.......2002-06-06

The Little Book Of Planet Earth by meteorologist and geophysicist Rolf Meissner is an amazing introduction to what scientific research through the past centuries up to the modern day has learned about our planet. From the origin of the solar system to plate tectonics to earth's magnetic field and much more, chapters teach all about the Earth in straightforward, easy-to-understand language accessible to lay readers. Highly recommended for readers of all ages, The Little Book Of Planet Earth is enhanced lack-and-white photographs, diagrams, charts and more help bring to life an amazing wealth of information.

Book Description

The field of Large Eddy Simulations is reaching a level of maturity that brings this approach to the mainstream of engineering computations, while it opens new opportunities and brings new challenges for further progress. The main objective of this volume is to bring together leading experts from different countries in presenting the state-of-the-art and emerging approaches for treating complex effects in LES. A common theme throughout the volume is the role of LES in the context of multiscale modeling and simulation.

Book Description

Focusing on the fundamental bases for developing turbulence models on rational grounds, this text considers different methods of approach—ranging from statistical modeling models at their various degrees of complexity to numerical simulations of turbulence—as well as basic concepts, the mathematical tools, and the methods for closure. Each method has its own specific performances, and limitations and they appear to be complementary rather than competitive.

Book Description

This book provides students and researchers in fluid engineering with an up-to-date overview of turbulent flow research in the areas of simulation and modeling. A key element of the book is the systematic, rational development of turbulence closure models and related aspects of modern turbulent flow theory and prediction. Starting with a review of the spectral dynamics of homogenous and inhomogeneous turbulent flows, succeeding chapters deal with numerical simulation techniques, renormalization group methods and turbulent closure modeling. Each chapter is authored by recognized leaders in their respective fields, and each provides a thorough and cohesive treatment of the subject.

Simulation and Modeling of Turbulent Flows.......2000-06-21

It is an excellent book covering the main aspects of simulation of turbulent flows, starting from spectral energy transfer to development and applications of turbulence models. The chapters are written by famous names in the area, such as J. L. Lumley, C. G. Speziale and B. E. Launder.

J. L. Lumley writes chapter 1. This chapter presents a comprehensive overview of the main physical and modelling aspects involved in turbulence, from energy cascade to orthogonal decomposition and wavelet representations.

A. Leonard writes chapter 2. It discusses Direct Numerical Simulation, analysing the fundamental aspects of DNS and exploring the main features of incompressible and compressible turbulence.

J. H Ferziger writes chapter 3. This chapter describes the methods employed in Large Eddy Simulation. It starts with a brief overview of Reynolds averaged methods and DNS and presents the basic aspects of LES and its differences in relation to other approaches. It includes sections about filtering, subgrid models (including Smagorinski, dynamic procedure and spectral models), numerical methods and coherent structures capturing.

S. A. Orszag writes chapter 4. This chapter explains the concept of the renormalization group theory, discussing the basis of RNG method and illustrating its application to a variety of turbulent flow problems.

C. G. Speziale discusses Reynolds Averaged turbulence models in chapter 5. This chapter presents an overview on zero, one and two-equation models, presenting the full set of equations governing the flow. In addition, it presents the formulation for full second order closure and discusses its implications upon the prediction of turbulent fluid flows. The final two sections present the Reynolds Averaged equations for compressible flow and some illustrative examples.

B. E. Launder writes chapter 5. It examines the exact second-moment equations and the processes causing anisotropy. This chapter also presents the most popular current approaches for the second order closure problem and some basic guidelines.

Description:
Large-eddy simulation (LES) is used to simulate neutral turbulent boundary-layer flow over a rough two-dimensional sinusoidal hill. Three different subgrid-scale (SGS) models are tested: (a) the standard Smagorinsky model with a wall-matching function, (b) the Lagrangian dynamic model, and (c) the recently developed scale-dependent Lagrangian dynamic model [Stoll, R., Porte-Agel, F., 2006. Dynamic subgrid-scale models for momentum and scalar fluxes in large-eddy simulation of neutrally stratified atmospheric boundary layers over heterogeneous terrain. Water Resources Research 42, W01409. doi:10.1029/2005WR003989]. The simulation results obtained with the different models are compared with turbulence statistics obtained from experiments conducted in the meteorological wind tunnel of the AES (Atmospheric Environment Service, Canada) [Gong, W., Taylor, P.A., Dornbrack, A., 1996. Turbulent boundary-layer flow over fixed aerodynamically rough two-dimensional sinusoidal waves. Journal of Fluid Mechanics 312, 1-37]. We find that the scale-dependent dynamic model is able to account, without any tuning, for the local changes in the eddy-viscosity model coefficient. It can also capture the scale dependence of the coefficient associated with regions of the flow with strong mean shear and flow anisotropy. As a result, the scale-dependent dynamic model yields results that are more realistic than the ones obtained with the scale-invariant Lagrangian dynamic model.

Fibber McGee and Molly brought to you by Johnson's Wax.......2007-03-18

Fibber McGee and Molly were a popular radio comedy duo of the late 1930s early 40s. This CD includes two radio shows from 1941 noted by another reviewer rather than those in the product description. Part of the charm for me is that the original commercials for Johnson's wax are included. The CD has excellent radio-level sound quality. One comical song is an ode to the radio sound effect man. Give yourself or a friend an authentic 1940s radio experience with this CD.

The CD is excellent but the product description is incorrect. 5 Stars for the CD. Less stars for Amazon

Actual show titles.......2006-12-06

The description of this cd is totally incorrect. Actually this cd has two shows to enjoy, not those shown;

Amusement Park 06-17-41 & Off to Hollywood 06-24-41.

Both are excellent, if you're a Fibber McGee & Molly fan.

I have owned this cd for a few years having purchased it directly from Radio Spirits. I was hoping to get new shows as stated in the description.
