Foreword by Urban Svensson (Computer-aided Fluid Engineering AB)

The Ekman spiral, the benthic boundary layer, and the wind-induced near-surface flow in a lake are all examples of environmental boundary layers. The atmospheric boundary layer is another member of this class of flows. As heat and matter are transported across these boundary layers, it is clear that all contributions to the understanding of the nature of these flows are of great value. The computer code Program for Boundary Layers in the Environment (PROBE) is intended to be a tool for use in the study of these classes of flows. The history of PROBE goes back to 1975 when I was a student at Imperial College, London. Professor Brian Spalding supervised me in a number of small projects dealing with environmental flow and heat transfer. One of these considered the seasonal thermocline in lakes—a project that was later (1978) presented as my Ph.D. In 1982, I took up a position at t
