Presents a top quality collection in which leading researchers address open questions in nonlinear physics and fluid mechanics

Dedicated to the memory of Prof. Alexander Ezersky, one of the most eminent figures in these fields

Will appeal to all researchers interested in the phenomenon of nonlinearity and its ramifications in fluid dynamics
