In this paper we propose an accurate and fast numerical method to obtain scattering fields from lossy dispersive inhomogeneous planar layers for both TE and TM polarizations. A new method is introduced to analyze lossy Inhomogeneous Planar Layers. In this method by applying spline based Galerkin’s method of moment to scalar wave equation and imposing boundary conditions we obtain reflection and...

A fundamental problem in heat transfer is the convective cooling of the heated walls of a channel. We find steady two-dimensional (2D) flows that maximize the heat removed from fixed-temperature walls for a given rate of energy used to drive the flow, Pe (Pe is the Peclet number, a dimensionless flow speed). For parabolic (Poiseuille) flow, the heat transfer scales as Pe. Starting from Poiseuil...

The primary scientific objectives of the proposed research are to use a coupled atmosphere--ocean model to investigate and quantify the interaction between the oceanic and atmospheric boundary layers and its effect on environmental conditions in the coastal zone. The main focus will be on boundary layer interactions under coastal upwelling conditions, in which cold, upwelled ocean surface water...
