Introduction to Modeling Convection in Planets and Stars : : Magnetic Field, Density Stratification, Rotation / / Gary A. Glatzmaier.
This book provides readers with the skills they need to write computer codes that simulate convection, internal gravity waves, and magnetic field generation in the interiors and atmospheres of rotating planets and stars. Using a teaching method perfected in the classroom, Gary Glatzmaier begins by o...
