Show more [+] Less [-]Rotating Hydraulic Control was the topic of the thirty ninth year of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics (GFD) programat the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. This theme was principally centered about those nonlinear problems inwhich either a free surface or internal stratification is so modified by flow that it acts to choke off increased flux as theforcing is increased. It is a peculiar form of convection, which shares many constraints with more general buoyancydriven motion but which has its own internal limits. Lectures and seminars were given by GFD staff and visitors, most ofwhom are founders of this young field of study. This volume contains notes from the talks given by the principal lecturersand written reports on the research projects cared out by the ten student fellows. The volume, therefore, summarizes asizable percentage of the present understanding of the topic of Rotating Hydraulic Control.
