Abstract: It is shown that subtle changes in the velocity profile across the seaward extension of midlatitude jets, such as the Gulf Stream, can lead to dramatic changes in the zonal-penetration scale. In particular, if α = dq/d? > ...

Abstract: The thermodynamic processes attendant on the transfer of fluid between a surface mixed layer and a stratified thermocline beneath are discussed. For a parcel of fluid in the mixed layer to pass into the stratified ...

Abstract: A significant and largely unsolved problem of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of flow in anatomically relevant geometries is that very few calculated pathlines pass through regions ...

Abstract: The paper presents an approximate theory leading to expressions relating torque, shear stress, and angle of twist for the torsion of multiply connected thick-walled rectangular hollow sections. ...

Abstract: Fofonoff solutions to the inviscid barotropic potential vorticity equation are found for the steady, free flow in a basin rotated at an arbitrary angle to a latitude circle. These solutions am used to study the inertial ...

Abstract: The economics of deficit irrigation are examined. The concepts developed in the heuristic discussion are developed into a set of rigorous mathematical expressions for determination of optimum water use under deficit ...

Abstract: An analytic model of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is presented in which information contained in a hydrographic section is propagated along characteristics. The characteristics are obtained by assuming that ...

Abstract: The influence of the bottom topography on the large-scale ocean circulation is discussed and illustrated with a simple model based on the ideal-fluid thermocline equations. The requirement that fluid remains in linear ...

Abstract: Evaluation of the impact of tunnel construction on existing buried structures is an important problem. This paper presents an analytical method for estimating the effect of tunnel construction on end-bearing piles located ...
