In [6] the authors conjecture that if every vertex of an infinite square grid is reachable from a pebble distribution, then the covering ratio of this distribution is at most 3.25. First we present such a distribution with covering ratio 3.5, disproving the conjecture. The authors in the above paper also claim to prove that the covering ratio of any pebble distribution is at most 6.75. The proof contains some errors. We present a few interesting pebble distributions that this proof does not seem to cover and highlight some other difficulties of this topic.

AbstractA net immersed in fractal-induced turbulence exhibit a transient time-varying deformation. The anisotropic, inhomogeneous square fractal grid (SFG) generated flow interacts with the flexible net to manifest as visible cross-sectional undulations. We hypothesize that the net’s response may provide a surrogate in expressing local turbulent strength. This is analysed as root-mean-squared velocity fluctuations in the net, displaying intensity patterns dependent on the grid conformation and grid-net separation. The net’s fluctuation strength is found to increase closer to the turbulator with higher thickness ratio while presenting stronger fluctuations compared to regular-square-grid (RSG) of equivalent blockage-ratio, σ. Our findings demonstrate a novel application where 3D-reconstruction of submerged nets is used to experimentally contrast the turbulence generated by RSG and multilength scale SFGs across the channel cross-section. The net’s response shows the unique turbulence developed from SFGs can induce 9 × higher average excitation to a net when compared against RSG of similar σ.

Abstract Applying circle inversion on a square grid filled with circles, we obtain a configuration that we call a fabric of kissing circles. We focus on the curvature inside the individual components of the fabric, which are two orthogonal frames and two orthogonal families of chains. We show that the curvatures of the frame circles form a doubly infinite arithmetic sequence (bi-sequence), whereas the curvatures in each chain are arranged in a quadratic bi-sequence. We also prove a sufficient condition for the fabric to be integral.

Traveltimes of direct arrivals are obtained by solving the eikonal equation using finite differences. A uniform square grid represents both the velocity model and the traveltime table. Wavefront discontinuities across a velocity interface at postcritical incidence and some insights in direct‐arrival ray tracing are incorporated into the traveltime computation so that the procedure is stable at precritical, critical, and postcritical incidence angles. The traveltimes can be used in Kirchhoff migration, tomography, and NMO corrections that require traveltimes of direct arrivals on a uniform grid.

A mathematical model has been developed which can aid in assessing the effect of the modification of land use patterns on the water quantity and water quality regime of a watershed. The basin under study is divided into a number of elements using a square grid technique. The hydrologic and water quality components are evaluated at each element in the basin at successive time intervals, and flows are routed through the elements by use of a streamflow network system. The model can be used to assist in evaluating the effects of alternative land use configurations in a watershed, such as urbanization, the removal or growth of forests, the construction of dams, etc., on water quantity and water quality. It can also be used in the preliminary design of an urbanized area to estimate the size of storm sewers, artificial ponds, etc.
