Introduction:
| |
Instabilities and bifurcations are common in fluids of geophysical interest (ocean, atmosphere, lithosphere) and therefore relevant in the study and understanding of the natural features of the Earth and other planets. The aim of this special session is to present, discuss and exchange recent results, ideas and experiences about problems in the theoretical and computational aspects of stability and bifurcation theory related to geophysical fluid dynamics phenomena, such as shear and rotating flow instabilities, hydrodynamic stability, patterns of bifurcations, symmetry and symmetry-breaking, etc. |
