Convectively Generated Gravity Waves in High Resolution Models of Tropical Dynamics
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2018 We investigate numerical models that display the transition of global climate modeling from coarse grids, at which convection and gravity waves are still parameterized, toward finer resolutions, where both are treated explicitly.

Ocean-excited plate waves in the Ross and Pine Island Glacier ice shelves
Journal of Glaciology, 2018 Ice shelves play an important role in buttressing land ice from reaching the sea, thus restraining the rate of grounded ice loss. Long-period gravity-wave impacts excite vibrations in ice shelves that can expand pre-existing fractures and trigger iceberg

Shallow flows of generalised Newtonian fluids on an inclined plane
, 2015 We derive a general evolution equation for a shallow layer of a generalised Newtonian fluid undergoing two-dimensional gravity-driven flow on an inclined plane.

Waveguide Photoactuators: Materials, Fabrication, and Applications
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Waveguide photoactuators convert guided light into mechanical motion. Their tethered‐flexible design enables minimally invasive surgery and confined‐space robotics. This review aims to guide materials selection, device design, and system integration, accelerating the transition of waveguide photoactuators from laboratory prototypes to versatile ...

The interaction of periodic surface gravity waves with slowly varying water currents
, 1982 Includes bibliography.The governing equations for interactions between surface gravity wavetrains and slowly-varying water currents are derived and the incorporation of Vocoidal water wave theory into this framework is discussed.

core
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This study explores how information processing is distributed between brains and bodies through a codesign approach. Using the “backpropagation through soft body” framework, brain–body coupling agents are developed and analyzed across several tasks in which output is generated through the agents’ physical dynamics.

Monitoring earthquakes with gravity meters
Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2011 Seismic waves from a magnitude 8.3 earthquake in Japan were consistently recorded by five nearly identical gPhone gravity meters in Colorado. Good correlation was also found in the response of two different types of gravity meters and a standard ...

High-Reynolds shallow flow over an inclined sinusoidal bottom [PDF]
, 2010 An experimental study of a turbulent free-surface shallow flow over an inclined sinusoidal bottom with a fixed corrugation amplitude is presented. A parametric analysis is performed by varying both the inclination angle and the Reynolds number.

A Soft Robotic Device for Targeted Massage Therapy of Residual Limbs
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Residual limb edema after amputation can hinder recovery and delay prosthetic fitting. This study presents a soft‐robotic wearable device that delivers sequential compression through pneumatic McKibben actuators. By replicating the principles of manual lymphatic drainage, the device generates controlled mechanotherapeutic pressure patterns, providing a

Hunting for gravity waves in non-orographic winter storms using 3+ years of regional surface air pressure network and radar observations [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and PhysicsAtmospheric gravity waves (i.e., buoyancy waves) can occur within stable layers when vertical oscillations are triggered by localized heating, flow over terrain, or imbalances in upper-level flow.
