Abstract
The East Greenland Current and its associated Marginal Ice Zone is a region of intense dynamical activity. A two layer, primitive equation, numerical model is used to simulate an eddy-jet interaction in the East Greenland marginal ice zone region. The effects of wind direction, topography, and sense of eddy rotation on the eddy-jet interaction are examined to determine the seaward ice transport, icebanding, and dipole formation. It is determined that an anticyclone (15 cm/s) interacting with a jet (30 cm/s) will develop a dipole that advects ice away from the ice edge. The dipole formation and ice advection away from the ice edge is not seen for a cyclone-jet interaction. It is also seen that a jet with no winds flowing parallel to the ice edge will create an iceband due to the cross ice edge Ekman transport. The interaction of both the cyclone and anticyclone with the jet creates downstream perturbations in the jet leading to a sinuous ice edge. Winds greater than 10 m/s dominate the ice dynamics over that induced by the ocean flow fields .

    Steady states and their stability of homogeneous, rigid, extended nematic polymers under imposed magnetic fields 

    Zhou, Hong; Ji, Guanghua; Wang, Qi; Zhang, Pingwen; Wang, Hongyun (2007);
    We study the steady state phase behavior of homogeneous, rigid, extended (polar) nematic polymers or nematic dispersions under imposed magnetic (or electric fields), in which the intermolecular dipole-dipole and excluded ...

    Dynamic simulation of particles in a magnetorheological fluid 

    Spinks, Joseph Michael. (Monterey California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2008-06);
    The mechanical and rheological properties of a MR fluid depend on the induced microstructure of the imbedded ferrous particles. When subject to an external field these particles magnetize and align themselves in chains ...

    Characterization of stable kinetic equilibria of rigid, dipolar rod ensembles for coupled dipole-dipole and Maier-Saupe potentials 

    Zhou, Hong; Wang, H. Y.; Wang, Q.; Forest, M. G. (2007);
    We study equilibria of the Smoluchowski equation for rigid, dipolar rod ensembles where the intermolecular potential couples the dipole-dipole interaction and the Maier-Saupe interaction. We thereby extend previous analytical ...
