Abstract For the first time, model-derived and imagery-derived wind directions speeds have been compared in Mars’s south polar region. Seasonal fan-shaped deposits are routinely observed by HiRISE regions. They widely accepted to result from CO 2 gas jet eruptions. Fan lengths, sizes, shapes can provide information about strengths at times such eruptions occur. We utilize a catalog of those dep...

The main long-term goal of the project is two-fold: to further develop a new venue in modeling of turbulent mixing using a new spectral theory of turbulence, the quasi-normal scale elimination (QNSE), and to improve the nowcasts and forecasts of the state of the ocean on sub-mesoand mesoscales. The QNSE theory brings turbulence modeling to a new level as it allows one to obtain analytical resul...

Ballistic impact mitigation requires the development of protective armor applications from composite material systems with good energy absorption and penetration resistance against threats, e.g., metallic projectiles. In this aim, high-strength high-stiffness soft fibrous materials (such as ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene—UHMWPE) are often used. The high specific strength feature is on...

Finite element models of a three-dimensional, porous cathode were constructed and analyzed by the COMSOL multiphysics package version 3.2 . Four types of cathode active material particles, arranged in both regular and random arrays, were modeled. Experimental studies of Li/PEO-LiClO4/Li1+xMn2O4 where 0 x 1 were used to validate simulation results. Two parameters, Li ion diffusivity into Li1+xMn...
