Abstract: This paper offers a simple, entirely prognostic, ocean circulation model based on the separation of the complete dynamics, including sound waves, into elementary Poisson brackets. For example, one bracket corresponds to ...

Abstract: The shallow-water equations may be posed in the form df?/dt = {F, H, Z}, where H is the energy, Z is the potential enstrophy, and the Nambu bracket {F, H, Z} is completely antisymmetric in its three arguments. This makes ...

Abstract: The mean ocean density field resembles the state of maximum entropy with given values for the upper water mass, total energy and potential enstrophy. Numerical experiments confirm that the thermocline of a freely evolving ...

Abstract: Arakawa and Lamb discovered a finite-difference approximation to the shallow-water equations that exactly conserves finite-difference approximations to the energy and potential enstrophy of the fluid. The Arakawa? Lamb ...

Abstract: Solutions are obtained for the large plastic deformations of a cylindrical membrane with rigid end closures subjected to an internal pressure loading. A plastic linearly hardening material obeying ...

Abstract: This study analyzes the feasibility of placing modified exercise equipment in public places to enable human energy harnessing. By assessing the impacts as a system-level synthesis of economic, environmental, productivity, ...

Abstract: A continuum model for evaluating partially composite insulated concrete sandwich panel deflections with discrete shear connectors due to differential volume changes such as those caused by differences in temperature between ...

Abstract: Economical restrained end reinforced concrete T‐sections are established using an optimization routine and the strength design procedure. The objective function includes the in‐place cost of formwork, concrete, longitudinal ...

Abstract: Based on detailed surface analyses and National Meteorological Center (NMC) facsimile products, the evolution of the January 1978 midwestern blizzard-producing cyclone is described. The behavior of the storm is contrasted ...

Abstract: Wakes behind 2D fences and 3D obstacles are reviewed with special emphasis on reduced mean wind speeds and sheltering effects. Based partly on Perera's study of wakes behind 2D fences, and assuming a Gaussian spread for ...
