Modeling shallow water flows on general terrains
No full textA formulation of the two-dimensional shallow water equations adapted to general and complex terrains
is proposed. Its derivation starts from the observation that the typical approach of depth integrating the
Navier–Stokes equations along the direction of gravity forces is not exact in the general case of a tilted
curved bottom. We claim that an integration path that better adapts to the shallow water hypotheses
follows the “cross-flow” surface, i.e., a surface that is normal to the velocity field at any point of the do-
main. Because of the implicitness of this definition, we approximate this “cross-flow” path by performing
depth integration along a local direction normal to the bottom surface, and propose a rigorous deriva-
tion of this approximation and its numerical solution as an essential step for the future development of
the full “cross-flow” integration procedure. We start by defining a local coordinate system, anchored on
the bottom surface to derive a covariant form of the Navier–Stokes equations. Depth integration along
the local normals yields a covariant version of the shallow water equations, which is characterized by
flux functions and source terms that vary in space because of the surface metric coefficients and related
derivatives. The proposed model is numerically discretized with a first order FORCE-type Godunov Finite
Volume scheme that allows straight forward implementation of spatially variable fluxes. We investigate
the validity of our SW model and the effects of the geometrical characteristics of the bottom surface
by means of three synthetic test cases that exhibit non negligible slopes and surface curvatures. The re-
sults show the importance of taking into consideration bottom geometry even for relatively mild and
slowly varying curvatures. By comparison with the numerical solution of vertically integrated models, we
observe differences of almost 20%, in particular for the peak values and the shape of the hydrographs
calculated at given sections of the fluid domai

Graham Greene An Approach to the Novels
No full textThis study reveals Greene in a dual role as author, one who projects literary experience into his view of life and subsequently projects both his experience and its "literary" interpretation into his fiction; and it defines two phases of Greenes novels through the changing relationship between writer and protagonists. The first phase progresses from acutely sensitive, self-divided young men somewhat like the young Greene to embittered, alienated characters ostensibly at great distance from their creator. The second phase (1939) includes a series of "portraits of the artist" through which Greene confronts more directly the tensions and conflicts of his private life.Book Cover -- Half-Title -- Title -- Copyright -- Dedication -- Contents -- Introduction -- Acknowledgements -- GRAHAM GREENE -- CHAPTER ONE Protagonists of the First Phase -- YOUTH -- DIVIDED SELVES -- WOMEN AND REDEMPTION -- MARRIAGE IN THE FIRST PHASE -- THE LITERARY FRAME -- THE FIRST-PHASE PROTAGONIST AND THE AUTHOR -- CHAPTER TWO Letters and Diaries -- LETTERS TO VIVIEN -- DIARIES -- CHAPTER THREE A Gun for Sale -- A GUN FOR SALE AND BROWNING'S "CHILDE ROLAND" -- A GUN FOR SALE AND TENNYSON'S MAUD -- CHAPTER FOUR Brighton Rock -- PINKIE AS NAPOLEONIC STRATEGIST -- CHARACTERS AND NAMES -- BRIGHTON ROCK AS A FAUSTIAN NOVEL -- CHAPTER FIVE Protagonists of the Second Phase -- AGE -- CHILDREN AND CHILDHOOD -- SELF-DIVISION -- MARRIAGE IN THE SECOND PHASE -- CHAPTER SIX The Strategy of Allusion in the Second Phase -- TOWARD THE WRITER AS PROTAGONIST -- CHAPTER SEVEN Portraits of the Artist -- CHAPTER EIGHT Travels with My Aunt -- CHAPTER NINE The Honorary Consul -- CHAPTER TEN The Human Factor -- CHAPTER ELEVEN Dr. Fischer of Geneva -- CHAPTER TWELVE Monsignor Quixote -- POSTSCRIPT: "YOUR DREAM HAS BEEN YOUR LIFE. -- CHAPTER THIRTEEN The Captain and the Enemy -- FINIS -- Selected Bibliography -- (A) WORKS BY GRAHAM GREENE -- (B) CRITICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL WORKS -- Index -- Permissions Acknowledgements -- PENGUIN PUTNAM INC. -- SIMON & -- SCHUSTERThis study reveals Greene in a dual role as author, one who projects literary experience into his view of life and subsequently projects both his experience and its "literary" interpretation into his fiction; and it defines two phases of Greenes novels through the changing relationship between writer and protagonists.
