  2. General circulation model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_circulation_model

    OGCMs model the ocean (with fluxes from the atmosphere imposed) and may contain a sea ice model. For example, the standard resolution of HadOM3 is 1.25 degrees in latitude and longitude, with 20 vertical levels, leading to approximately 1,500,000 variables. AOGCMs (e.g. HadCM3, GFDL CM2.X) combine the two submodels. They remove the need to ...

  3. Langevin dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langevin_dynamics

    Langevin dynamics mimics the viscous aspect of a solvent. It does not fully model an implicit solvent; specifically, the model does not account for the electrostatic screening and also not for the hydrophobic effect. For denser solvents, hydrodynamic interactions are not captured via Langevin dynamics.

  4. Primitive equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_equations

    Conservation of momentum: Consisting of a form of the Navier–Stokes equations that describe hydrodynamical flow on the surface of a sphere under the assumption that vertical motion is much smaller than horizontal motion (hydrostasis) and that the fluid layer depth is small compared to the radius of the sphere

  5. Molecular vibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_vibration

    A molecular vibration is a periodic motion of the atoms of a molecule relative to each other, such that the center of mass of the molecule remains unchanged. The typical vibrational frequencies range from less than 10 13 Hz to approximately 10 14 Hz, corresponding to wavenumbers of approximately 300 to 3000 cm −1 and wavelengths of approximately 30 to 3 μm.

    Another example is the Born (ionic) model of the ionic lattice. The first term in the next equation is Coulomb's law for a pair of ions, the second term is the short-range repulsion explained by Pauli's exclusion principle and the final term is the dispersion interaction term. Usually, a simulation only includes the dipolar term, although ...

  7. Eddy diffusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_diffusion

    Example of Eulerian reference system of particles in a box. [15] The simplest model of turbulent diffusion can be constructed by drawing an analogy with the probabilistic effect causing the down-gradient flow as a result of motion of individual molecules (molecular diffusion).

  8. Q-Vectors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q-Vectors

    Q-vectors can be determined wholly with: geopotential height and temperature on a constant pressure surface.Q-vectors always point in the direction of ascending air. For an idealized cyclone and anticyclone in the Northern Hemisphere (where <), cyclones have Q-vectors which point parallel to the thermal wind and anticyclones have Q-vectors that point antiparallel to the thermal wind

  9. Molecular mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_mechanics

    Molecular mechanics uses classical mechanics to model molecular systems. The Born–Oppenheimer approximation is assumed valid and the potential energy of all systems is calculated as a function of the nuclear coordinates using force fields. Molecular mechanics can be used to study molecule systems ranging in size and complexity from small to ...
