Abstract

A European Mechanics Colloquium (Euromech 56) on ‘Nonlinear processes in rotating fluids’ was held at University College, London from 14–18 April 1975. It was attended by 77 mathematicians, engineers and physicists from 14 countries, and 33 papers were presented and discussed. The topics included motions in homogeneous and stratified rotating fluids, with applications to the atmosphere, the oceans, the earth's core and centrifuges. Brief summaries of the papers presented are contained in this report.
