1. Control of Fluid-Containing Rotating Rigid Bodies

   By Anatoly A. Gurchenkov, Vladimir I. Tsurkov, Mikhail V. Nosov

   Series: Communications in Cybernetics, Systems Science and Engineering

   This book is devoted to the study of the dynamics of rotating bodies with cavities containing liquid. Two basic classes of motions are analyzed: rotation and libration. Cases of complete and partial filling of cavities with ideal liquid and complete filling with viscous liquid are treated. The...

2. Fluid Mechanics of Environmental Interfaces, Second Edition

   Edited by Carlo Gualtieri, Dragutin T. Mihailovic

   Environmental Fluid Mechanics (EFM) studies the motion of air and water at several different scales, the fate and transport of species carried along by these fluids, and the interactions among those flows and geological, biological, and engineered systems. EFM emerged some decades ago as a response...
