The NATO Advanced Study Institute "Flow and Transport Processes in
Complex Obstructed Geometries: from cities and vegetative canopies
to engineering problems" was held in Kyiv, Ukraine in the period of
May 4-15, 2004. This book based on the papers presented there
provides an overview of this new area in fluid mechanics and its
environmental applications.
Contents
