MIXING FOR GENERIC ROUGH SHEAR FLOWS

Lucio Galeati

We study mixing and diffusion properties of passive scalars driven by generic rough shear flows. Genericity is here understood in the sense of prevalence, and (ir)regularity is measured in the Besov-Nikolskii scale B\alpha 1,\infty, \alpha \in (0,1). We pr ...

Mixing and diffusion for rough shear flows

Maria Colombo, Klaus Martin Widmayer

This article addresses mixing and diffusion properties of passive scalars advected by rough (

C^\alpha

) shear flows. We show that in general, one cannot expect a rough shear flow to increase the rate of inviscid mixing to more than that of a smooth shear ...

Modeling snow saltation: the effect of grain size and interparticle cohesion

Varun Sharma, Michael Lehning, Daniela Brito Melo, Francesco Comola, Armin Sigmund

This dataset includes the parallel application and the main results supporting the research article "Modeling snow saltation: the effect of grain size and interparticle cohesion" published at the Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres.The code is a f ...

Study of Aerodynamic Grain Entrainment in Aeolian Transport

Aeolian transport controls landform formations on Earth and other planets and crucially affects the atmospheric system. With elaborate wind tunnel measurements, we find that the aerodynamic entrainment rate follows a yet unreported exponential increase in ...

Scanning PIV of turbulent flows over and through rough porous beds using refractive index matching

Christophe Ancey, Gauthier Paul Daniel Marie Rousseau

This paper presents image velocimetry measurements on turbulent flows adjacent to a permeable bed made of randomly packed glass particles. For measuring flow velocities inside the bed, the refractive index of the glass particles was matched with that of th ...

Two-fluid plasma model for radial Langmuir probes as a converging nozzle with sonic choked flow, and sonic passage to supersonic flow

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne

Using the Lambert function, Guittienne et al. [Phys. Plasmas 25, 093519 (2018)] derived two-fluid solutions for radial Langmuir probes in collisionless and isothermal plasma. In this Brief Communication, we point out the close analogy with classical compre ...

Spatial and temporal turbidity currents sediment deposition assessment

Giovanni De Cesare, Shun Nomura

Flume experiments are conducted to model sediment-laden density currents with continuous suspension supply. The initial density covers 1008, 1016, and 1032 kg/m3 and the bottom slope at 5.0 %. Sediment deposition profiles along the experimental flume are m ...

What Waterfalls and Kitchen Sinks have in Common: A Comparison between Vertical and Horizontal Supported Jets

In plunging jets and at hydraulic jumps, large amounts of air bubbles are entrained at the impingement of the liquid jet and receiving body (BIN, 1993; ERVINE, 1998; CHANSON, 2009a). Air is entrapped and advected into a turbulent shear layer with strong in ...

Effect of spilling from adjacent orifices on the velocity field and pressures in front of needle stop-logs

Giovanni De Cesare, Azin Amini, Cédric Bron, Ivan Stojnic

In this study, the effect of spilling from neighboring sluice gates on stop-logs was experimentally investigated on a 1:65 physical scale model comprised of a double arch dam, a reservoir area, six spillway orifices and two stop-logs. Two types of measurem ...

Effects of Lateral and Vertical Constrictions on Flow in Rough Steep Channels with Bedload

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Sebastian Schwindt

Two-phase flows occurring at flow constrictions such as bridges or open sediment check dams are complex, especially for steep rivers with bedload transport. Dangerous bedload deposition and backwater effects may occur in steep mountain rivers at bridges. I ...
