In the attempt of describing and understanding natural phenomena, mathematicians and physicists develop various models. Among these models, the Navier-Stokes equations are often used to describe the motion of fluids. Various forms of the Navier-Stokes equations have wide range of applications, such as, modeling weather, ocean currents, vortex, water flow in a pipe, blood flow in the body and air flow around a wing. Turbulence is where a fluid flow exhibits a chaotic behavior with time. It is widely believed that the Navier-Stokes equations are of great use when describing turbulence. The nonlinear term of the Navier-
Stokes equations is the main contributor to the turbulence that the equations model and also the term that creates mathematical difficulties and challenges.

These are obtained by the Itô formula and stochastic analysis. Our aim in this thesis is to investigate such balance laws in one of the simplest settings related to fluid dynamics, shell models of turbulence.
Shell models are simplified Fourier systems with respect to the Navier-Stokes equations, where the interactions among different modes are preserved only between neighbors. In most of these shell models the interactions among the neighbors are limited to either three or five neighbors. Thus, shell models are drastic simplifications of the Navier-Stokes equa- tions. In particular, the GOY and Sabra models are some of the most interesting and most popular examples of simplified phenomenological models of turbulence. Although departing from reality, they capture some essential statistical properties and features of turbulent flows, like the energy spectrum, the enstrophy cascade and the power law decay of the turbulent flows in some range of wave numbers-the inertial range, see [?].
We now describe how the content of this thesis has been organized.
This thesis is divided into 3 parts. The first part, Chapter 2 is devoted to some preliminaries.
Deep River is a book written by Shusaku Endo. In the book with you can read 4 main stories about seeking to find oh rather said looking to be more spiritual by following the ritual and myths in a way to be in a better spiritual connection. Each character has a very important role because one of them is in search of something that helps them to understand and manage their spirituality and emotions in a way that is comfortable. Something very curious about the book is that each chapter is mentioned with the name case. For each story gave me an idea of how I would develop the story.
A disaster is anything that causes damages to something or takes one 's life. Most disasters can be avoided, like car accidents, spills, injuries and so on. Natural disasters on the other hand, con not be avoided but prepared for. Many Puerto Ricans were affected by a disaster than cannot be avoided, a hurricane. The island of Puerto Rico faced a category 4 hurricane that demolished many houses and destroyed much of our wildlife.
In this paper, I will discuss the similarities, and the differences between “The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano” and “Journal of the First Voyage to America”. Both stories are trying to persuade the readers to reach their personal goal. However, there are a lot of differences between these two stories: different reader, different purpose,... Starting with, “The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano”. The author in his writing is talking about the living condition of the slaves on the ship.
In the various chapters, the author successively examines detailed accounts about the past from primary documents with an objective of bringing to light the incidents that took place and collectively culminated to the eruption of the conflict. The military situations, political turbulence, social upheavals, ethnic and religious strife among other aspects receive considerate attention and the aftermath is
The setting is dark, enormous sea symbolizing nature. It is not an ordinary setting; rather very active in the lives of the characters and has contradictory qualities. It has seven sections and each section is told from the point of view of an anonymous correspondent. The first part introduces the four characters-the
For a cyclone to form, there needs to be horizontal divergence. It is needed because it would cause the process where the divergence air above the location which is cold merges when the surface air rises which is warm. The horizontal divergence brings the air that is on Earth’s surface upward, causing a cyclone to form in the atmosphere. 10. The hydrostatic equilibrium is where the atmosphere vertical pressure gradient force and the force of gravity are equal and the both are balanced with one another.
The Article “Finding Flow” by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, expresses the choice we have in life to live or die until the end of days. He shows how we take control of our own destiny, and to not let distractions get in the way of our accomplishment. Csikszentmihalyi portrays that everyone has a different idea of accomplishment and goals, but living life to the fullest is shared by many. By saying this he means don’t waste your potential by letting side issues get in the way. In the article Csikszentmihalyi mentions a study held in a factory where most welders hated their jobs and found no passion in it.
PBS Frontline Documentary, ‘The Storm In spite of decades of planning for disasters, federal, state, and local authorities still failed to cope with Hurricane Katrina. PBS Frontline’s documentary The Storm was produced following the destruction of human life and property by Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and its environs. Co-produced by Martin Smith, the 60-minute documentary essentially conducts an investigation into the decisions and actions that resulted in poor and uncoordinated federal and state response to the catastrophe. Unlike common films that people like watching, The Storm is a remarkable film that helps people understand the role of state and federal authorities in crises.
Neil Gaiman is a Hugo award winning British author of short stories, graphic novels, comic books, audio titles and films. Some of his notable works include ‘Stardust’, ‘Neverwhere’, ‘Good Omens’, ‘The Sandman’ series of graphic novels, etc. ‘The Ocean At The End of The Lane’ written by Neil Gaiman, is a book that is spoken through a child’s perspective, of the world around him. The book deals with the unstable emotions that the protagonist, a child goes through that eventually leads to a disconnect between his childhood and adulthood.
Von Mises [3] states that “the forces due to viscosity appear as products of μ and expressions that have the dimensions area times (velocity / length)”. By further investigation, the mathematical analysis of these principles leads to a system of partial derivatives known as the Navier-Stokes equations. These equations are used to describe fluid flow and can be used to solve specific dynamic fluid flow cases. These include; velocities, pressure, temperature, density and can also be used to solve viscous problems of a dynamic fluid flow problems. These partial derivative equations relating to the specific variables are extremely complex and time-consuming to
One Amazing Thing. Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni. USA: Hyperion, 2009. 209pp. Under the rubric of Commonwealth Literature, there is always a bewildering array of overlapping and intersecting experiences between ‘home’ and ‘abroad’.
In these day, hurricane is the one of the most terrifying disaster that occur on many countries in this world, it can cause damage and harmful to people. Hurricane is a huge storm that form above the ocean then move to the land and we call it “hurricane” when the wind speeds reach up to 74 mph. However, these storm are call in different names depends on the location that they occur. For example, we call it “typhoon” in Pacific Ocean, “cyclone” in Indian Ocean, etc. In these essay, we will point on the two-main cause and two-main negative effect of the hurricane and some idea of the basic preparation.
As the novel is written from Christopher’s view, the readers can feel with him and get to know his understanding of the world. Christopher has few friends but takes pride in his capacity to remember nearly every detail he sees. Moreover, he portrays several problems of mathematical nature. He discusses, for example, the population development of frogs in the school pond. In doing so, the readers are encouraged to consider Christopher‘s diagrams and
In my paper, I will detail my observations in response to the following questions in chapter 2: What techniques did Prokofiev use to pursue compositional experiments? What is the significance of these innovations? In chapter 3, I will investigate the musical expressions Prokofiev conveyed in Sarcasms through those experiments. In this paper, I will also examine Four Etudes for Piano, Op. 2, Four Pieces for Piano, Op.
