Abstract: This paper outlines a novel elevation linear Fresnel reflector (ELFR) and presents and validates theoretical models defining its thermal performance. To validate the models, a series of experiments were carried out for ...

Abstract: The results of a series of diffusion trials over the heterogeneous surface of the Canadian Precambrian Shield provide additional support for the convective scaling of the lateral dispersion parameter, σy. The data indicate ...

Abstract: We consider a compressible, inviscid, stratified parallel shear flow, bounded below by a rigid wall and above by a half-space of constant wind speed and temperature. Linear stability analysis shows that this flow is unstable ...

Abstract: The model used by Davis and Peltier (1976) to study the linear stability of a compressible, stratified parallel shear flow underlain by a rigid boundary is extended to include the effects of turbulent dissipation. It is ...

Abstract: A stably stratified parallel shear flow near the ground is able to support two distinct modes of instability, these being the well known Kelvin-Helmholtz disturbance and a secondary wave whose growth in time derives from ...

Abstract: This note focuses on a new method of analysis, suitable for use with data from satellite microwave spectrometers, that may benefit hydrometeorological analysis and prediction. The method being proposed involves application ...

Abstract: Results are described from a combined laboratory and analytical study of the dense, deep-water flow through the Faroe Bank Channel. Archival field data have been used to specify the velocity and density field conditions ...

Abstract: Laboratory experiments were performed to investigate the aggregate behavior of two identical parallel line turbulent plumes that were discharged to either a homogeneous water column or a two-layer fluid. These studies were ...
