I'm off to
Oregon State, OK that's not quite true yet but I'll be there in July. They have a
Tsunami tank and a
Wave Channel that's big enough to surf in. I'm tentatively assigned to
Bill Smyth who is a modeler. I've already started peppering him with questions. Out of impatience I downloaded an
oceanography textbook and I was kind of amazed by a phenomena called inertial currents, believe me it's a lot cooler that it sounds. If you want to see some pretty math and graphs take a look
here I'd love some input on W.T.F. is going on.
