Numerical methods of higher order of accuracy for incompressible flows

Kozel, K.; Louda, P.; Příhoda, J. - In: Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (MATCOM) 80 (2010) 8, pp. 1734-1745

The work deals with numerical solution of the Navier–Stokes equations for incompressible fluid using finite volume and finite difference methods. The first method is based on artificial compressibility where continuity equation is changed by adding pressure time derivative. The second method...

ENSO AND SOYBEAN PRICES: CORRELATION WITHOUT CAUSALITY

Letson, David; McCullough, B.D. - In: Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics 33 (2001) 03

In this paper we seek to characterize the robustness of the ENSO/soybean price relationship and to determine whether it has practical economic content. If such a meaningful relationship exists, the implications could be profound for commodity traders and for public sector investments in climate...
