Abstract: Solutions are obtained for a time dependent, nonlinear model of a wind-driven ocean by a numerical integration of the corresponding initial value problem. Without time dependence the model and boundary conditions are ...

Abstract: The paper outlines a project to incorporate digital images and the world wide web into the teaching of structural design for buildings, using an approach that is both highly visual and theoretically rigorous. A key objective ...

Abstract: Michael Cox was a pioneer in the development and application of numerical models to the study of the ocean circulation. His simulation of the response of the Indian Ocean to the monsoons was one of the first applications ...

Abstract: The ocean model used in a calculation of the earth's climate is described in detail. Compared with earlier numerical models used in ocean circulation studies, the present model includes several new features. Temperature ...

Abstract: Although computer analysis has created invaluable benefits in structural design, several structural experts have expressed concern about the impact of computers on younger engineers. Computers clearly help develop insight ...

Abstract: There are many dynamic similarities between mesoscale eddies in the ocean, and cyclones and anticyclones in the earth's atmosphere. Observational data, however, are still not adequate to explore this analogy in detail. In ...

Abstract: The motion of two homogeneous layers of fluid enclosed between horizontal plates, which rotate coaxially at slightly different angular velocities, has been investigated. The solution for the zonally symmetric forced motion ...

Abstract: This paper describes and demonstrates modifications of the harmony search method to support multimodal structural optimization. Several researchers have recognized the potential of population-based optimization methods, ...
