Turbidity Currents Interacting with the Seafloor
Wed, Oct 14, 2009 @ 03:30 PM - 04:30 PM
Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Eckart Meiburg Professor Department of Mechanical Engineering University of California at Santa BarbaraSanta Barbara, CA 93106 We will present high-resolution, Navier-Stokes based simulations and linear stability investigations of turbidity currents, and their two- way interaction with the seafloor. The turbidity currents we consider are driven by particles with negligible inertia that are much smaller than the smallest length scales of the buoyancy-induced fluid motion. For the mathematical description of the particulate phase an Eulerian approach is employed, with a transport equation for the particle-number density.
We will discuss some effects due to complex topography. Furthermore, we will analyze the linear stability problem of channel and sediment wave generation by turbidity currents. A novel linear instability mechanism is identified that can potentially create both of these topographical features. Its relation vis-a-vis the classical lee wave mechanism is discussed. In addition, results will be shown regarding the unsteady interaction of a gravity current with a submarine structure, such as a pipeline.

The Nuclear Express and the Prevention of Nuclear Terror: A Lecture by Thomas C. Reed
Wed, Oct 14, 2009 @ 07:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
University Calendar
Provost C. L. Max Nikias invites you to attend a signature event featuring Thomas C. Reed, co-author of The Nuclear Express. Earlier this year, the National Academy of Engineering identified fourteen "grand challenges" that must be addressed in order to secure and improve the future of humankind. The prevention of nuclear terror topped that list. Reed will focus on why nations pursue nuclear weapons if they possibly can, why over a dozen would-be proliferators have turned back from that path and why a half dozen other embryonic nuclear states continue to forge ahead. The lecture will be followed by a discussion with USC professors Wayne Glass and Priya Vashishta. Thomas C. Reed has been a nuclear-weapons designer, political manager for Reagan's gubernatorial contests, defense official for the secretary of the Air Force and White House staffer (as special assistant to the president for national-security policy) and businessman. He is the author of At the Abyss: An Insider's History of the Cold War and The Nuclear Express: A Political History of the Bomb and Its Proliferation. Reed is a graduate of Cornell University and the University of Southern California and currently resides in northern California.G. Wayne Glass is a Professor in USC's School of International Relations. He teaches courses on American foreign policy and international security affairs, including a special program on nonproliferation policy conducted each year in Washington D.C. Glass previously had a career in Washington D.C., including positions in the Department of Defense, Department of State, the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, the Congressional Budget Office and the Senate. He is an expert on a wide variety of defense issues including nonproliferation and nuclear arms control.Priya Vashishta is the director of the Collaboratory for Advanced Computing and Simulations. He has multidisciplinary appointments in the Viterbi School of Engineering and College of Letters, Arts and Sciences at USC. Prior to joining USC, Vashishta was the Director of the Solid State Science Division at the Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory. His research interests include high performance computing and large multiscale simulations of novel materials and processes.Organized by Visions and Voices. Co-sponsored by the USC College of Letters, Arts and Sciences and the USC Viterbi School of Engineering.
