    • A numerical study of motion and spindown characteristics of an isolated cyclonic oceanic vortex 
      Smith, David Clement (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)
      The motion and spindown characteristics of oceanic mesoscale vortices have been examined through the use of a finite difference equivalent barotropic numerical model. Variable parameters in the study include vortex size, ...
    • A numerical study on the evolution of tornadoes 
      Proctor, Fred Hays (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)
      The evolution of the thermal and dynamic structure of tornadoes is studied via numerical simulation. The model, which is axisymmetric, includes prognostic equations governing motion, a diagnostic pressure equation, and ...
    • A video-based experimental investigation of wing rock 
      Morris, Steven Lynn (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)
      The primary objective of this research was to develop a definitive theory on the cause of wing rock. The study was based on dynamic measurements in both a water tunnel and a wind tunnel on a sharp-edged delta wing with an ...
