Jochen Kämpf, a Senior Lecturer in Oceanography at Flinders University, Australia, is known for the discovery of the South Australian Coastal Upwelling System. His research interests cover a broad range of subjects including surface mixed-layer physics, coastal and estuarine circulations, density-driven flows, benthic storms, and more recently dispersal of desalination brine.

Résumé
This book introduces the reader to advanced methods used in the computer-based modelling of fluid processes. This includes nonhydrostatic processes such as breaking internal waves and density-driven convection, but the model code is also used to simulate an El-Nino event ! The book contains 25 practical exercises, using freely available Open-Source software suites, which are widely used by the scientific community.
In this book, the art of hydrodynamic modelling is made available and transparent to a wider readership. An attractive biproduct of the book is that results are animations rather than still images. Model codes and animation scripts for all exercises are supplied on a website. The reader can adopt model codes for own independent studies.
