A model for cross-shore sediment transport due to random waves is described which adopts a vertically integrated transport description for sheetflow situations. The formulation of the transport as a function of the instantaneous velocity field is based on the approach of Bailard (1981). This approach assumes in essence that the instantaneous transport is proportional to some power of the instantaneous near-bottom velocity. Implementation of this transport description in a time-dependent model requires a formulation of the time-mean and some low order moments of the near-bottom velocity field. An initial formulation based on a monochromatic, second order Stokes wave representation is presented. The model is checked on the basis of both field and laboratory data. Some consequences for further study are indicated.

A time-dependent quasi-one-dimensional model is developed for studying high- pressure discharges in ablative capillaries used, for example, as plasma sources in electrothermal launchers. The main features of the model are (i) consideration of ablation effects in each of the continuity, momentum and energy equations; (ii) use of a non-ideal equation of state; and (iii) consideration of space- and time-dependent ionization.

Using the ontological interpretation of quantum mechanics in a particular sense, we obtain the classical behavior of the scale factor and two scalar fields, derived from a string effective action for the Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) time dependent model. Besides, the Wheeler–DeWitt equation is solved exactly. We speculate that the same procedure could also be applied to S-branes.
