The same property also applies to the circulation of the atmosphere, and it is one of the most prominent features ofgeophysicalfluiddynamics.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This gives a barotropic shear problem which seems more relevant togeophysicalfluiddynamics than the classical shear problems.
From theCambridge English Corpus
A starting point for much ofgeophysicalfluiddynamics is the primitive equations.
From theCambridge English Corpus
As noted above, there is reason to believe that the long waves under discussion are significant in the context ofgeophysicalfluiddynamics.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Ingeophysicalfluiddynamics it is common practice to include some sort of diffusion term in the momentum equation to represent the large-scale effect of subgrid-scale mixing.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In general, ageophysicalfluidflow is not in a state of exact balance, and the evolution of the flow is driven by small departures from a balanced state.
