[1] Convection in an ice-covered lake, driven by the absorption of solar radiation, is investigated by means of temperature microstructure technique. This type of convection typically occurs in spring, when melting snow on the ice cover enables solar radia ...
The peakedness of the density profile in source-free MHD-quiescent L-mode plasmas with lower hybrid current drive is observed to decrease with decreasing peaking of the current profile. For the discharges investigated, which include normal and reversed mag ...
The anisotropic error indicator presented in [M. Picasso, Comm. Numer. Methods Engrg., 19 (2003), pp. 13-23.] in the frame of the Laplace equation is extended to elliptic and parabolic problems. Our error indicator is derived using the anisotropic interpol ...
Extracellular transport processes play critical roles in morphogenesis. While diffusive transport effects on morphogenesis are well illustrated in examples like blood capillary architecture and in cell morphogenetic responses to the local extracellular pro ...
The use of microbalances to study gas-solid reactions at high temps. and normal pressure is often limited by fluctuations due to thermal convection in the reaction zone. The fluctuations depend on the pressure, the type of gas, the temp., and the geometry ...
Few experimental test data are available for evaporation of ammonia inside tubes and numerous new data have been measured and presented here. An improved approach to the prediction of flow boiling heat transfer in horizontal tubes has been proposed through ...
An extensive database has been collected for the evaporation of two hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants (HFC- 134a and the zeotropic mixture HFC- 407C) and the natural refrigerant ammonia (R-717). A model to predict the onset of nucleate boiling has been succes ...
The use of microbalances to study gas-solid reactions at high temps. and normal pressure is often limited by fluctuations due to thermal convection in the reaction zone. The fluctuations depend on the pressure, the type of gas, the temp., and the geometry ...
In stratified natural waters, convective processes tend to form nearly homogeneous mixed layers. However, shear-driven turbulence generated by large-scale background flow often rapidly smooths them through mixing with the stratified surroundings. Here we s ...
