Rossby Waves on a Beta-Plane
Linear planetary wave ψ = A cos(kx+ly−ωt) with ω = −βk/(k²+l²+Rd⁻²): streamfunction bands and geostrophic arrows show westward phase propagation.
Geostrophic Balance & Thermal Wind
Pressure-gradient force balanced by Coriolis: isobars set geostrophic wind, while meridional temperature gradients produce vertical shear between 1000 and 300 hPa.
Groundwater Contaminant Plume
Advection-dispersion pulse in groundwater with longitudinal/transverse spreading, retardation factor R, and a monitoring-well breakthrough curve.
Infinite Slope Stability
Limit-equilibrium factor of safety for a shallow planar slide: slope angle, cohesion, friction, depth, and rainfall-driven pore pressure set the landslide threshold.
Earthquake Aftershocks: Omori + Gutenberg-Richter
Modified Omori aftershock decay n(t)=K/(t+c)^p combined with Gutenberg-Richter magnitude-frequency curves, b-value, and a synthetic catalog.
Mantle Convection Cell (Toy)
High-Prandtl-number mantle convection cartoon: Rayleigh-number vigor, thermal boundary layers, hot upwelling, and a cold subducting slab in one viscous cell.
