Hydraulic Transients in Pipe Systems part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:MATLAB Workshop October 2022:Activities
Juneseok Lee, Manhattan College
Many water utilities have in-house hydraulic modeling capacities to analyze their systems in planning, design, operations, and management. However, many modeling efforts are geared toward or limited to a steady ...

Logistic Growth with MATLAB part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:MATLAB Workshop 2024:Activities
Yanli Cui, White Station High School
Purpose: Many populations grow in a manner that is important to the existing population. That makes sense. The larger the population, the larger the growth rate. This type of unconstrained growth can be modeled ...

The dynamics of predators and prey part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:MATLAB Workshop 2017:Activities
Morgan Fonley, Alma College
This project results in a Lotka-Volterra model which simulates the dynamics of the predator-prey relationship. The model is first applied to a system with two-dimensions, but is then extended to include more ...

What is the fate of CO2 produced by fossil fuel combustion? part of Quantitative Skills:Activity Collection
Paul Quay
A box model is used to simulate the build up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere during the industrial era and predict the future increase in atmospheric CO2 levels during the next century.

The 'Keeling Curve' and analyzing time series data in MATLAB part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:MATLAB Workshop 2016:Teaching Activities
Gareth Funning, University of California-Riverside
In this exercise, we analyze the trends in the CO2 record monitored at Mauna Loa, (the 'Keeling Curve'). This is an exercise in data handling, interpolation, trend estimation and extrapolation.
