Flow Kinematics in Variable Height Rotating Cylinder Arrays
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Experimental data are presented for large arrays of rotating, variableheight cylinders in order to study the dependence of the threedimensional mean flows on the height heterogeneity of the array. Elements in the examined ...
A Kinematic Description of the Key Flow Characteristics in an Array of Finite Height Rotating Cylinders
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Experimental data are presented for large arrays of rotating, finiteheight cylinders to study the dependence of the threedimensional (3D) mean flows on the geometric and rotational configurations of the array. Two geometric ...
On Triad Interactions in a Linearly Stratified Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Triad interactions in a linearly stratified ocean are studied numerically using a Garrett?Munk energy spectrum as the initial condition. It is found by bispectrum analysis that wave?mean flow interactions dominate and ...
Extracting Reynolds Stresses from Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler Measurements in Wave-Dominated Environments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Surface waves introduce velocity correlations that bias and often dominate Reynolds stress estimates made using the traditional variance method for acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs). This analysis shows that the ...
Thermally Driven Exchanges between a Coral Reef and the Adjoining Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper hydrographic observations made over a fringing coral reef at the northern end of the Gulf of Aqaba near Eilat, Israel, are discussed. These data show exchange flows driven by the onshore?offshore temperature ...
