Splash in the bathtub and waves slosh. Toss a rock into a pond and ripples move outward in expanding rings. In each case, the water moves in waves. Those waves carry energy. And the more energy that gets added to a watery environment, the more powerf ul the waves may become. Now imagine an undersea earthquake and the tremendous amount of energy it can transf er to the ocean. That is because the movement of the Earth’s crust can shif t huge volumes of water, unleashing a parade of great and powerf ul waves. The water races away at speeds up to 800 kilometers (500 miles) per hour, or as f ast as a jet plane. Eventually those waves reach shallow Wate r p o urs asho re as a tsunami strike s the e ast co ast o f Jap an o n March 11, 2011. Cre d it: Mainichi Shimb un/Re ute rs water. They slow down and swell, sometimes as high as a 10-story building. When the waves eventually crash onto land, they can swamp hundreds of kilometers (miles) of shoreline. They may snap trees like twigs, collapse of f ice buildings and sweep away cars. Among nature’s most powerf ul f orces of destruction, these waves are called tsunamis (tzu NAAM eez).

  • SPH Based Shallow Water Simulation
    Workshop on Virtual Reality Interaction and Physical Simulation VRIPHYS (2011) J. Bender, K. Erleben, and E. Galin (Editors) SPH Based Shallow Water Simulation Barbara Solenthaler1 Peter Bucher1 Nuttapong Chentanez2 Matthias Müller2 Markus Gross1 1ETH Zurich 2NVIDIA PhysX Research Abstract We present an efficient method that uses particles to solve the 2D shallow water equations. These equations describe the dynamics of a body of water represented by a height field. Instead of storing the surface heights using uniform grid cells, we discretize the fluid with 2D SPH particles and compute the height according to the density at each particle location. The particle discretization offers the benefits that it simplifies the use of sparsely filled domains and arbitrary boundary geometry. Our solver can handle terrain slopes and supports two-way coupling of the particle-based height field with rigid objects. An improved surface definition is presented that reduces visible bumps related to the underlying particle representation. It furthermore smoothes areas with separating particles to achieve better rendering results. Both the physics and the rendering are implemented on modern GPUs resulting in interactive performances in all our presented examples. Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS): I.3.5 [Computer Graphics]: Computational Geometry and Object Modeling—Physically Based Modeling; I.3.7 [Computer Graphics]: Three-Dimensional Graphics and Realism—Animation and Virtual Reality 1. Introduction in height field methods as well as in full 3D simulations. The grid discretization allows for efficient simulations, but Physically-based simulations have become an important el- handling irregular domain boundaries that are not aligned ement of real-time applications like computer games.

Its main purpose is to play an active part in the promotion of ornithology in Argyll. It is recognised by the Inland Revenue as a charity in Scotland. The Club holds two one-day meetings each year, in spring and autumn. The venue of the spring meeting is rotated between different towns, including Dunoon, Oban. LochgilpheadandTarbert.Thc autumn meeting and AGM are usually held in Invenny or another conveniently central location. The Club organises field trips for members. It also publishes the annual Argyll Bird Report and a quarterly members’ newsletter, The Eider, which includes details of club activities, reports from meetings and field trips, and feature articles by members and others, Each year the subscription entitles you to the ArgyZl Bird Report, four issues of The Eider, and free admission to the two annual meetings. There are four kinds of membership: current rates (at 1 October 1999) are: Ordinary E10; Junior (under 17) E3; Family €15; Corporate E25 Subscriptions (by cheque or standing order) are due on 1 January.

  • Dan-Tipp-Corryvreckan.Pdf
    Corryvreckan The name ‘Corryvreckan’ probably derives from two words ‘Coire’ which in Irish means cauldron and ‘Breccán’ or ‘Breacan’, which is taken to be a proper noun i.e. the name of an individual called Breccán. Although this has also been translated as ‘speckled’ from the adjective brecc ‘spotted, speckled’ etc. combined with the suffix of place – an. There is an Old Irish text known as Cormac’s Glossary written by the then King and Bishop of Cashel, Cormac mac Cuilennáin who died in the year 908. The text is written in the form of Dictionary combined with an encyclopaedia. In it are various attempts at providing explanations, meanings and the significances of various words. At entry 323 it provides probably the fullest description of the Coire Breccáin of the early Irish material, a great whirlpool which is between Ireland and Scotland to the north, in the meeting of various seas, viz., the sea which encompasses Ireland at the north-west, and the sea which encompasses Scotland at the north-east, and the sea to the south between Ireland and Scotland. They whirl around like moulding compasses, each of them taking the place of the other, like the paddles… of a millwheel, until they are sucked into the depths so that the cauldron remains with its mouth wide open; and it would suck even the whole of Ireland into its yawning gullet. It vomits iterum {again & again} that draught up, so that its thunderous eructation and its bursting and its roaring are heard among the clouds, like the steam boiling of a caldron of fire.i This form of description was known in Irish as a Dindshenchas (pronounced dunn- hanakus) tale.

Esta es una relación cronológica de todos los lanzamientos de satélites artificiales de nuestro planeta, con independencia de su éxito o fracaso, tanto en el disparo como en órbita. Significa pues que muchos de ellos no han alcanzado el espacio y fueron destruidos. Se señala en primer lugar (a la izquierda) su nombre, seguido de la fecha del lanzamiento, el país al que pertenece el satélite (que puede ser otro distinto al que lo lanza) y el tipo de satélite; este último aspecto podría no corresponderse en exactitud dado que algunos son de finalidad múltiple. En los lanzamientos múltiples, cada satélite figura separado (salvo en los casos de fracaso, en que no llegan a separarse) pero naturalmente en la misma fecha y juntos. NO ESTÁN incluidos los llevados en vuelos tripulados, si bien se citan en el programa de satélites correspondiente y en el capítulo de “Cronología general de lanzamientos”. .SATÉLITE Fecha País Tipo SPUTNIK F1 15.05.1957 URSS Experimental o tecnológico SPUTNIK F2 21.08.1957 URSS Experimental o tecnológico SPUTNIK 01 04.10.1957 URSS Experimental o tecnológico SPUTNIK 02 03.11.1957 URSS Científico VANGUARD-1A 06.12.1957 USA Experimental o tecnológico EXPLORER 01 31.01.1958 USA Científico VANGUARD-1B 05.02.1958 USA Experimental o tecnológico EXPLORER 02 05.03.1958 USA Científico VANGUARD-1 17.03.1958 USA Experimental o tecnológico EXPLORER 03 26.03.1958 USA Científico SPUTNIK D1 27.04.1958 URSS Geodésico VANGUARD-2A
