Due to lower sea levels during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), tidal energy dissipation was shifted from the shallow margins into the deep ocean. Here using a high-resolution tide model, we estimate that global energy fluxes below 200 m depth were almost quadrupled during the LGM. Applying the energy fluxes to...

For over 40 years, the Implicit Monte Carlo (IMC) method has been used to solve challenging problems in thermal radiative transfer. These problems typically contain regions that are optically thick and diffusive, as a consequence of the high degree of “pseudo-scattering” introduced to model the absorption and reemission of photons...
Treatment of waste streams using algae can minimize eutrophication by removing inorganic nutrients while producing biomass which can be used for biofuels, animal feed, and fertilizer production. While there are many studies that report the growth of individual algal strains in different media, there are relatively few studies that examine...
We present a new model for unsteady flow routing through dendritic and looped river networks
based on performance graphs. The model builds upon the application of Hydraulic
Performance Graph (HPG) to unsteady flow routing introduced by Gonzalez-Castro (2000)
and adopts the Volume Performance Graph (VPG) introduced by Hoy and Schmidt...
The study of intermediate models for barotropic continental shelf and slope flow fields initiated in Parts I and II is continued. The objective is to investigate the possible use of intermediate models for process and data assimilation studies of nonlinear mesoscale eddy and jet current fields over the continental shelf...
Three‐dimensional circulation in the coastal transition zone (CTZ) off Oregon is
studied using a 3 km resolution model based on the Regional Ocean Modeling System.
The study period is spring and summer 2002, when extensive observations were available
from the northeastern Pacific component of the Global Ocean Ecosystems Dynamics
project....
We explore selected aspects of J.-Y. Parlange’s contributions to hydrological transport of solutes and sediments, including both the laboratory and field scales. At the laboratory scale, he provided numerous approximations for solute transport accounting for effects of boundary conditions, linear and nonlinear reactions, and means to determine relevant parameters. Theory...
The electrode size dependence of the effective large signal piezoelectric response coefficient (d(33,f)) of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin films is investigated by using double beam laser interferometer measurements and finite element modeling. The experimentally observed electrode size dependence is shown to arise from a contribution from the substrate. The...
