Abstract: By photographing the movement of smoke plumes and recording the air movement at fixed points above the water in an indoor wave tank, it is shown that progressive waves in water may produce an airflow more than half a ...

Abstract: The linearized hydrodynamic equations for storm surges are solved in analytic form for a very simple model basin and an arbitrary field of wind and pressure to show that a solution can be obtained as an integral of the ...

Abstract: The upward trend in reported tornadoes during the past few years has led many people to suspect that atomic explosions are responsible for the increase. Because there is no known physical reason for believing that atomic ...

Abstract: The practical difficulties arising in the solution of the hydrodynamic equations for storm surges by numerical methods are reviewed. It is concluded that some of these can be avoided by means of a statistical approach if ...

Abstract: The linearized two-dimensional hydrodynamic equations are presented in a manner which displays the principal assumptions involved. Several approximations are developed for the partial derivatives, and boundary conditions ...
