Teaching

Undergraduate level

• Spring 2005. CEE 162. Modeling and Simulation for Civil and Environmental Engineers--Introduction to mathematical and computational methods for modeling and simulation and the use of the Simulink toolbox in Matlab to cover topics including transport, air and water quality, reservoir, and global climate modeling. Course is application driven; students work ing roups on three projects with an extensive final project. Prerequisites: CME 100, 102 (formerly ENGR 154, 155A) or equivalent. GER:2a 3 units

Upper undergraduate/Masters level

• Winter 2005. CME212. Introduction to Large-Scale Computing in Engineering-- The application of programming methodologies for the solution of fundamental engineering problems using algorithms with pervasive application across disciplines. Performance tuning techniques and com- puter architectures. Algorithms used include multilevel/multiscale de- compositions, graph partitioning, sparse matrix linear algebra, and optimization. Prerequisites: CME 200 or 202, and CS106X or equivalent level of programming. 3 units
   
  Spring 2004. CEE 262C Modeling environmental flows-- Introduction to turbulence models and to basic concepts of numerical simulation and computermodeling of turbulent flows in the environment. Application of models to estuary and lake/reservoir simulations. Use of computer models for estuarine and lake/reservoir dynamics and water quality. The effects of stratification. Prerequisites: 262A, or consent of instructor. 3-4 units.

Ph.D. level

• Fall 2004. CEE 363C. Ocean and Estuarine Modeling-- Advanced topics in-cluding methods for the shallow water, primitive, and nonhydrostatic equations on Cartesian, curvilinear, and unstructured finite-volume grid systems. Free-surface methods, nonhydrostatic solvers, and advanced Eulerian and Lagrangian advection techniques. Focus is on studies of existing techniques and code packages and their methodologies includ- ing POM, ROMS, TRIM, ELCOM, and STUNTANS. Problem sets and final project. Prerequisite: CME 204 (formerly ME 300B) or equivalent. 3 units, alternate years, not given 2005-06
   
  Winter 2004. CEE 363B. Geophysical fluid dynamics-- (Formerly 364B.) Focus is on fluid dynamics of the ocean at scales where the in fluence of the earth's rotation is important. Topics include geostrophic and quasi-geostrophic flows, planetary waves, potential vorticity, the Rossby adjustment prob- lem, effects of stratification, and flows on the sea plane. Hydrodynamic stability of rotating and stratified flows. Prerequisite: 363A. 3 units, alternate years, not given 2004-05
