    2009-Brian_Winkel-Modelling_Growth_Of_an_OilSlick
    An oil-slick spreads at sea. From time to time, but irregularly, a helicopter is dispatched. On each trip, it arrives over the slick, the pilot takes a picture, waits 10 minutes, takes another, and heads home. Model this.

    5-090-SolidParticleErosion-ModelingScenario
    By applying Newton's second law, and making a collection of reasonable assumptions, students will derive a system of differential equations that model the path of a rigid particle as it gouges material from a more ductile surface.
