Abstract: A single baroclinic normal mode is perturbed by small orography. The method of analysis considered here allows one to conceptually, understand how the orography modifies the characteristics of the normal mode, and how the ...

Abstract: Computer-based technological advances, particularly in modeling and information management, continue to push the limits of design and construction coordination. But is building information modeling (BIM) ready to become ...

Abstract: Properly configured disturbances are known to be effective in transferring the kinetic energy of a mean shear flow to neutrally stable modal and nonmodal waves. Consideration of perturbation energetics requires that such ...
