Fusion cross sections are calculated in the time-dependent Hartree-Fock approximation, for the systems ${}_{}{}^{18}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$+${}_{}{}^{12}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$ and ${}_{}{}^{16}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$+${}_{}{}^{12}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$. Although the experimentally observed fluctuations in the ${}_{}{}^{16}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$ and ${}_{}{}^{12}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$ fusion cross section are not reproduced in the calculations, the results are otherwise in good agreement with experiment, except at the highest energies studied.
