Mathematical Aspects of Penetrative Convection

by Brian Straughan

Penetrative convection is an important physical topic undergoing study. This book addresses two important angles. That related to improperly posed problems in penetrative convection and that related to nonlinear stability. The book assumes a knowledge of theoretical fluid dynamics, and a good knowledge of calculus (final year undergradute, postgraduate). It is aimed at mathematicians, astrophysicists, geophysicists and engineers.
