Environmental Fluid Mechanics - Physics Branch

Environmental fluid mechanics is a branch of fluid mechanics in Physics that deals with the study of the ocean and its currents. One of the aims of this branch is to prevent the worsening of climate change.

According to the [https://www.whoi.edu/ Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution] this subject "focuses on ocean circulation and the physical processes driving waves and currents. Fluid and sediment transport, gas transfer, and wave dynamics are investigated to further our knowledge of ocean physics, erosion, and global climate." Several universities and institutes have developed courses that have the objective of "developing numerical models for the prediction of the impacts of climate change and human activities on lake circulation."

Some of the research modules include ocean surges, ocean flows, ocean contaminants, ocean and ice-water interactions, air and sea interaction, and sediment transportation.

Environmental Fluid Mechanics is devoted to the publication of basic and applied studies broadly relating to natural fluid systems, particularly as agents for the transport and dispersion of environmental contamination.

Environmental Fluid Mechanics (EFM) is the scientific study of naturally occurring flows of air and water on our planet Earth, especially of those that affect the environmental quality of those fluids.
