5.14 Final Remark
All fluid processes described in this book are governed by different versions of
the Navier-Stokes equations. The numerical model, gradually developed from Exercise 1 through to Exercise 25, is backward compatible, which implies that the same
model applied to simulate equatorial Kelvin waves or the abyssal circulation can
be used to simulate short gravity waves or small-scale convective plumes. That the
Navier-Stokes equations, which can be written down on a sheet of paper in a few
lines, embrace such a rich variety of hydrodynamic processes is truly fascinating.
5.15 Technical Information
This book has been written in L A T E X using TeXnicCenter that can be downloaded
from:
http://www.toolscenter.org/
in conjunction with MikTeX (Version 2.5) – a very nicely prepared L A T E X implementation for Windows platforms which can be downloaded at:
http://miktex.org/
Most graphs of this book were created with SciLab. Most sketches were made with
Microsoft Word. GIMP has been used for the manipulation of images. GIMP is a
cost-free alternative to commercial graphical manipulation programs such as Adobe
Photoshop Elements. This software can be freely downloaded from:
http://www.gimp.org/
