Phase Transitions in Energy-Relative Enstrophy Models; 7. Extremal Free Energy in the Mean-Field Theory; 8. Phase Transitions of Barotropic Flow; 9. Phase Transitions to Super-Rotation - Exact Closed-Form Solutions; 10. The Shallow-Water Models - High Energy, Cyclonic Solutions; 11. The Shallow-Water Model - Low-Energy Solutions; Bibliography; IndexVortex Dynamics, Statistical Mechanics, and Planetary Atmospheres introduces the reader with a background in either fluid mechanics or statistical mechanics to the modeling of planetary atmospheres by barotropic and shallow-water models. These potent models are introduced in both analytical and numerical treatments highlighting the ways both approaches inform and enlighten the other. This book builds on Vorticity, Statistical Mechanics, and Monte Carlo Simulations by Lim and Nebus in providing a rare introduction to this intersection of research fields.
