Dynamics of laser radiation – metal target interaction in water at 1064 nm by applying Mach-Zehnder interference technique was studied. The mechanism of generating the well developed regime of evaporation of a metal surface and a spherical shock wave in water is proposed. Critical intensities of the NIR for the well developed evaporation of silver and gold targets were determined. Dynamics of s...

When rendering large bodies of water in real-time an efficient method is required to model water waves. This article describes a method for real-time interactive generation of such waves. We use the wave particle method to describe wave propagation in a fluid medium. The method allows to simulate interactions of water with general shaped rigid bodies in real-time. We present a GPU implementatio...

Periods of dramatically accelerated motion, in which the flow velocity increases suddenly from about 55 cm/d to a peak of 1 00-300 cm/d and then decreases gradually over the course of a day, occurred repeatedly during June and July 1 978-8 1 in Variegated Glacier (Alaska), a surging-type glacier that surged in 1 982-83. These "mini-surges" appear to be related mechanistically to the main surge....
