Title: Numerical Simulation of a Weakly Nonlinear Model for Water Waves with 
        Viscosity.

Abstract: The Euler equations of fluid mechanics describe the surface evolution of waves 
           on a large body of water.  We considered a model which includes viscous 
           effects.  We derive a weakly nonlinear set of equations and perform numerical 
           experiments with them.

Title: Drift-Diffusion Past a Circle

Abstract: A 2D model representing steady state groundwater seepage past a circular,
	   impenetrable obstacle is presented. The water particles diffuse in the
           plane and are subject to a uniform drift field (gravity). The
           concentration of groundwater is modeled by a linear, elliptic PDE. Using
           two independent methods, asymptotic representations of the concentration
           profile are obtained under the assumption that the drift field is stronger
           than the diffusion.
