Faculty Input in Evaluation for a College with Many Disciplines
The co-presenters will describe how faculty in one academic unit of a large College combining many academic disciplines were tasked with examining best practices and development of a faculty merit performance evaluation rubric. Perspective on the project will be offered by the initiating School Director, Dean of the College and Associate Dean of the College
Velocity field distributions due to ideal line vortices
We evaluate numerically the velocity field distributions produced by a
bounded, two-dimensional fluid model consisting of a collection of parallel
ideal line vortices. We sample at many spatial points inside a rigid circular
boundary. We focus on ``nearest neighbor'' contributions that result from
vortices that fall (randomly) very close to the spatial points where the
velocity is being sampled. We confirm that these events lead to a non-Gaussian
high-velocity ``tail'' on an otherwise Gaussian distribution function for the
Eulerian velocity field. We also investigate the behavior of distributions that
do not have equilibrium mean-field probability distributions that are uniform
inside the circle, but instead correspond to both higher and lower mean-field
energies than those associated with the uniform vorticity distribution. We find
substantial differences between these and the uniform case.Comment: 21 pages, 9 figures. To be published in Physical Review E

Numerical solutions of the three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic alpha-model
We present direct numerical simulations and alpha-model simulations of four
familiar three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence effects:
selective decay, dynamic alignment, inverse cascade of magnetic helicity, and
the helical dynamo effect. The MHD alpha-model is shown to capture the
long-wavelength spectra in all these problems, allowing for a significant
reduction of computer time and memory at the same kinetic and magnetic Reynolds
numbers. In the helical dynamo, not only does the alpha-model correctly
reproduce the growth rate of magnetic energy during the kinematic regime, but
it also captures the nonlinear saturation level and the late generation of a
large scale magnetic field by the helical turbulence.Comment: 12 pages, 19 figure
