The NATO Advanced Study Institute "Flow and Transport Processes in Complex Obstructed Geometries: from cities and vegetative canopies to engineering problems" was held in Kyiv, Ukraine in the period of May 4-15, 2004. This book based on the papers presented there provides an overview of this new area in fluid mechanics and its environmental applications.
Contents
Preface
Variety of problems associated with Canopies, or EPRs
Discrete and continuum models of flow and dispersion through canopies
Easily Penetrable Roughnesses of different structures
Observation and simulation of flow in vegetation canopies
Turbulent flow in canopies on complex topography and the effects of stable stratification
Transport in aquatic canopies
Vorticity annihilation and inviscid blocking in multibody flows
Fires in porous media: natural and urban canopies
Urban air flow researches for air pollution, emergency preparedness and urban weather prediction
