[quote=narayanan,Mar 11 2007, 04:55 AM] Does Prof. Murthy's calculation take into account the fact that the channel is crooked, and will reflect and damp out most sudden impulses? Does he include this in his calculation of Quarter Wave Resonance (the idea that a fluid in a STRAIGHT tube will develop large oscillations if a disturbance is applied)?? He cites a channel in Alaska - is this channel straight or crooked?
Cutting out the polemics, let the scientists agree on what the tsunami DID.
It is a pity that the commentator refuses to: 1. see the tsunami simulations (or ask for references to educate himself) and 2. see the 'scientists' comments on the probabilities of recurrence of tsunami.
Everyone can write English. What is needed is STRAIGHT thinking through tube or otherwise based on an agreement among scientists of different disciplines.
If a Public Adm. arbiter is unacceptable, choose someone from Harvard u. No problem. But, get the science issues clarified first. A lot has already been done and it is unfortunate that this dialogue will go nowhere if the references are not studied first.
As in a koottaattam one can go round and round bringing in irrelevancies and muddle the issue.
Has the commentator also seen the 1747, 1788 and 1804 map ALL of which refer to this reef as BRIDGE linking Ramancoil I. and Talaimannar? I suppose it does not matter to scientific pundits if some manual intervention might also have added to the links of some limestone hills and shoals? Call is Narayana sethu; I have no problem with names.
Delhi door aaast from america. Corruption percentages are easy to compute. just ask Vittal ex-chief vigilance commissioner or Kuppuraj heading an anti-corruption ngo (a retd. chief engineer, PWD).
While evaluating 5 alernative alignments which have surfaced so far, it is not necessary to involve Agarwals or whoever. Invite him to the forum discussions, they are getting very learned.
