Homeworksand exams are clearly linked and the material discussed in lecture is linked to both as well, notjust implicitly but with explicit notice given to the students so they’re motivated to pay attentionand thoroughly grasp the concepts.Homework problems are consciously designed to reinforce basic mechanics concepts and enable anappreciation of how more complex problems can be attacked with a palette of simple tools. Thehomework problems are discussed during lecture and students are shown why the problems areimportant and how they’re going to help their understanding.

asolution to these long-term dependency problems [22].Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Model Long Short-Term Memory networks are RNNs that can learn long-term dependencies. Thegoal of LSTM is to add short-term memory to a recurrent neural network, that is capable of goingback in time-steps at least a couple of thousand steps [22]. LSTM is designed to avoid thetraditional RNNs vanishing gradient problem. LSTM consists of a component that can learn whento remember and when to forget the information based on its decision on whether that informationmay or may not be needed [23]. A review of literature was done to understand the currentapplications of LSTM in seismology. Wang et al. (2017) [14] used LSTM to predict earthquakesby learning the spatio

For this reason, experiments were performed for one triangular obstruction and twocylindrical and triangular obstructions in different orientations. While investigating the wakesbehind such objects can add to a general understanding of fluid flows, our studies can also be ofhelp to other engineering applications and physical problems that involve such wakes.Wake patterns depend on the dimensionless Reynolds number ρVd (1) Re= µdetermined by the density ρ, free stream
