Overview: Leading experts present a unique, invaluable introduction tothe study of the geometry and typology of fluid flows. From basicmotions on curves and surfaces to the recent developments in knots andlinks, the reader is gradually led to explore the fascinating world ofgeometric and topological fluid mechanics. .Geodesics and chaotic orbits, magnetic knots and vortex links,continual flows and singularities become alive with more than 160figures and examples. .In the opening article, H. K. Moffatt sets the pace, proposing eightoutstanding problems for the 21st century. The book goes on to
