The course aims in the deeper and advanced comprehension of themeleiodon beginnings and applications of Environmental Reystomichanikis in multiple scales covering applications from the planitiki scale until local/mikroklimaka.
Particular indication through and relative work it becomes in the subject of cross-border transport of dust in Cyprus.
Learning Outcomes
• Fundamental understanding of environmental fluid dynamics in polyclimate problems (from planetary to urban and local scale)
• Ability to critically apply the basic principles to real environmental problems in fluid mechanics
Course Content
Introduction to environmental flows. A brief review of basic transport mechanisms in the aquatic and atmospheric environment (switching, molecular and turbulent diffusion, dispersion). Mix and disperse in two- dimensional systems. Law 4/3. Analytical solutions. Renewal time. Structured flows: basic concepts, Boussinesq approach. Layered flows, density currents. Veins. Characteristics of individual supraventricular veins, vein interaction, effect of environmental conditions. Elements of geophysical fluid mechanics: large-scale flows, effect of rotation of the earth. Ekman mattress.
