The Local Structure of Atmospheric Turbulence and Its Effect on the Smagorinsky Model for Large Eddy Simulation

Marc Parlange, Charles Vivant Ignacio Meneveau

Phenomena such as large-scale shear, buoyancy, and the proximity to the ground surface significantly affect interactions among scales in atmospheric boundary layer turbulent flows. Hence, these phenomena impact parameters that enter subgrid-scale (SGS) par ...

Interfacial interactions and colloid retention under steady flows in a capillary channel

Dani Or, Yan Jin

Colloidal interfacial interactions in a capillary channel under different chemical and flow conditions were studied using confocal microscopy. Fluorescent latex microspheres (1.1 mu m) were employed as model colloids and the effects of ionic strength and f ...

Efficiency of Brushwood fences in shore protection against wind-wave induced erosion

Selim Sayah

Shore protection in confined water bodies is of major importance in Switzerland where many lakes suffer severe shore erosion. It occurs mainly in shallow zones due to several reasons such as: the fluctuations of the water level , the wind-wave impact durin ...

Bostwick degree and rheological properties: An up-to-date viewpoint

Paolo Perona

The correlation between the Bostwick degree and the static rheological properties of yield stress food fuids is first revisited and then reformulated in this work. The role of the yield stress in the free surface flow of the Bostwick test is studied using ...

Matching pursuit and atomic signal models based on recursive filter banks

Martin Vetterli

The matching pursuit algorithm can be used to derive signal decompositions in terms of the elements of a dictio- nary of time–frequency atoms. Using a structured overcomplete dictionary yields a signal model that is both parametric and signal adaptive. In ...
