Large scale simulation and observations in geodynamics
نویسنده
چکیده
We contrast the concepts of computational simulation as practiced in computer assisted design with that of numerical modeling of geology and other observational sciences in which controlled experiments are not available. We highlight the role of the modeller in subjectively weighting observations, modelling and experience to find a preferred geological model.

Detection and Modeling of Medium-Scale Travelling Ionospheric Disturbances in Iran Region
Ionosphere layer variations are divided into regular and irregular. Regular changes can be considered as daily changes, changes depending on latitude and changes due to solar activity. Travelling Ionospheric Disturbances (TID) is one of the irregular changes of ionosphere which categorized in small, medium and large scales. Medium-scale Travelling Ionospheric Disturbance (MSTID) which are propa...

متن کاملConcurrent control on resource planning and revenue/expenditure estimation in large-scale shell material embankment projects management using discrete-event simulation
Resource planning in large-scale construction projects has been a complicated management issue requiring mechanisms to facilitate decision making for managers. In the present study, a computer-aided simulation model is developed based on concurrent control of resources and revenue/expenditure. The proposed method responds to the demand of resource management and scheduling in shell material emb...
متن کاملQuantitative assessment of relative tectonic activity in the Alamarvdasht river basin, south of Iran
Tectonic processes are major factors controlling landform development in tectonically active areas. In order to evaluate quantitative measurement of tectonic activities in the Alamarvdasht basin in the south of Iran, six different morphological indices including stream-gradient index (SL), drainage basin asymmetry (Af), hypsometric integral (Hi), valley floor width-valley height ratio (Vf), dra...
