Corrections to

                    Topographic Effects in Stratified Flows

                               by Peter G. Baines       

                paperback edition, published by C.U.P. 1998

 

I like to think that most of these corrections are either trivial or obvious, but this is not the case for all.  Please contact me if you identify any others.

 

page 8 , line 9:  replace “UN/L”  with “UH/L”.

 

page 13: the sign of the last term in equation (1.3.13) should be “+”.

 

page 22: replace equations (2.2.9) and (2.2.10) by:

 

                          ,                          (2.2.9)

              where

                        .              (2.2.10)

page 26: replace equations (2.2.12), (2.2.13) and the text in between by:

 

               ,                                             (2.2.12)

             where is given by (2.2.10) and represents either beam.  For a single-humped axi-symmetric obstacle of radius A, from (2.2.10) we may estimate  within each beam, so that (2.2.12) gives

                        .                                                        (2.2.13)

 

page 41, Figure 2.10:  the labelling for the curves for C1 and Da (top left) should be exchanged, i.e. C1 are the dashed curves, Da the solid.

 

page 52, equation (2.3.60):  “ Fs3/2  should read “ Fs2/3 .

 

 

page 54, 3rd paragraph, line 10: should read “..of  a stationary hydraulic jump.”

 

page 56, line –6: replace “considering” with “we considered”.

 

page 57, 3rd line after equation (2.4.10): replace “logical” with “plausible”.

 

page 58, equation (2.4.13): replace italic “a” (first factor on rhs) with gothic “a”.

page 61, equation (2.4.30): replace  with.

 

page 62: the line before equation (2.4.33) should read    “, and”

 

 

 

page 127, equation (3.7.12):  replace “” with “c0”.

 

page 216, Figure 4.15b:  at the top right hand vertical axis, “2” should be replaced by

               “25”; at the bottom right hand corner, the equation should read:

                          

 

page 252, In equations (5.3.6) and (5.3.7), the terms  should read .

 

page 345, equation (5.2.4):  replace  “”  by  “”.

 

page 347, equation (6.1.11):  the last term inside the brackets { } should read

               

 

page 404, line 6: replace “Nh/u” with “Nh/U” .
