Summary
Summary: Environmental fluid dynamics is the study of natural motions on the earth surface akin to river dynamics, oceanic circulation, weather, atmospheric circulation and climate. Almost all the flows concerned by environmental fluid dynamics are turbulence, and turbulence usually controls important processes in environmental fluids such as erosion of the earth surface, mass and heat transfers, migration and mixing of pollutants. The special issue focuses on recent development and research studies in the area of the effects of turbulence on sediment transport, material transport, pollutant dispersion in rivers, oceans and atmospheres. The papers may present novel analytical, numerical or experimental findings within the context of turbulence and environmental fluids.
Interesting topics considered are including but not limited to the following:
1) Turbulence in open channel flows
2) Flow and sediment transport in rivers and lakes
3) Monsoon and ocean current
4) Gravity current in oceans and atmospheres
4) Pollutant transport and mixing in rivers, oceans and atmospheres
6) Numerical modeling of environmental fluids
