WLAN have emerged as a promising network platform and extended network connectivity in recent years. Hotspots are increasing rapidly in coffee shops, airports, restaurants and some public areas. In Taiwan, over 90% of colleges and universities have established their campus WLAN environment and 72% of them have joined the experimental campus WLAN roaming system. This paper describes how we have established such a WLAN roaming system. Relying on the RADIUS based authentication environment, a campus WLAN user can enjoy WLAN roaming service via web portal or 802.1x based AAA system. Newly developed applications such as voice/video service can be tested on this system. This paper will also introduce how this system integrated with WiMAX and deliver the inter-working capability.

The use of characteristics-based methods for the advection-dominated regimes in thermal convection is investigated. An operator-splitting method applied to the advection-diffusion equation for the very large Peclet (Pe) number regime is presented. In this approach two partial differential equations representing both the purely hyperbolic and the parabolic components must be solved simultaneously. This method has been compared with (1) the Galerkin approximation, (2) the streamwise upwinding Petrov-Galerkin method, and (3) the characteristics-based method using the Lagrangian formulation for the time-derivative operator of the advection-diffusion equation. Solution accuracy of the operator-splitting method improves with larger Pe, while the accuracy of other methods deteriorates with Pe. For the nonlinear problem of two-dimensional thermal convection the Lagrangian method is found to be most computationally efficient. With this Lagrangian method, time-dependent, thermal convection solutions of extremely high Rayleigh number (Ra), up to 3 X 10(9), for infinite Prandtl number are obtained. For an aspect ratio of 1.8 the exponent in the scaling of the Nusselt number (Nu) with Ra in time-dependent convection is determined to be 0.301 in the hard turbulent regime and is smaller than in the soft turbulent regime. The behavior of this exponent as a consequence of the transition to hard turbulence agrees with experimental findings. Horizontal Fourier spectra of the thermal fields outside the boundary layers reveal a transition in the high wave-number domain from 1/k to 1/k2 in the transition from soft to hard turbulent regimes. Analysis of the kinetic energy spectra E(k) shows an asymptotic decay of E(k) close to K-2, for large k, spanning over two decades in wave number for strongly time-dependent convection.

In order to understand the interaction between solar wind irregularities and the closed magnetosphere, three‐dimensional (3‐D) computer simulations for ideal magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) equations are performed. This paper considers only the situation in which the initial interstellar magnetic field is either parallel or antiparallel to the magnetospheric magnetic field. The irregularity is modeled as a ball, which initially moves toward the magnetosphere. The penetration of the irregularity in the 3‐D model is found to be less efficient than in a two‐dimensional (2‐D) model. Through a comparison of the present results from 3‐D simulations, not much difference has been found in the efficiency for the irregularity to penetrate into the magnetosphere between two situations in which the interstellar field is parallel or antiparallel to the magnetospheric field.
