Two-dimensional solitary waves generated by a submerged body moving near the critical speed in a shallow water channel are studied numerically. The incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in a curvilinear free-surface-fitted coordinate system are solved by the finite difference method. The present numerical results are compared with the existing experimental data, and with the numerical solution...

in this study, the capabilities of wawewatch-iii and mike21-sw for predicting the characteristics ofwind-generated waves in hormuz strait are evaluated. the numerical models have been set up using input data including gfs wind with 5° spatial resolution and 6 hours time intervals, along with the etopo1 bathymetry data with 2 arc-minute spatial resolutions. the results of the two model simulatio...

Underground nuclear weapon testing produces radionuclide gases which may seep to the surface. Barometric pumping of gas through explosion-fractured rock is investigated using a new sequentially-coupled hydrodynamic rock damage/gas transport model. Fracture networks are produced for two rock types (granite and tuff) and three depths of burial. The fracture networks are integrated into a flow and...
