Class Objectives
/Class Outline |
The objective of this course is to gain basic knowledge about the state of the global fluid system and the mechanism of its change by learning from multiple perspectives about the ordered structure formation in the global fluid system and related systems under non-equilibrium states. This class consists of Part 1 (Global Fluid Dynamic System) and Part 2 (Natural Structure Formation). |
| Class Schedule |
• Introduction (1)
Part 1. Global fluid dynamic system (2-7)
• The global fluid system: a non-equilibrium open system
• Global radiation balance
• Vertical temperature distribution
• Heat transport by the general circulation
• Energy dissipation due to heat transport
Part 2. Natural stricture formation (8-15)
• Periodic patterns in nature
• Dissipative structures of fluid systems
• Pattern formation in granular flows
• Periodic patterns of cracks
• Fractal and dissipative structures
• Summary and exercises |
