Hydraulically Drained Flows in Rotating Basins. Part II: Steady Flow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The slow, horizontal circulation in a deep, hydraulically drained basin is discussed within the context of reduced-gravity dynamics. The basin may have large topographic variations and is fed from above or from the sides ...
On Nonlinear Flow with Multiple Obstructions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Whereas long-wave theories have proved successful in describing, the nonlinear effects of single obstructions on narrow flows, the theories can fail when several obstructions are present. This failure is demonstrated using ...
Examining the Influence of Wind and Wind Wave Turbulence on Tidal Currents, Using a Three-Dimensional Hydrodynamic Model Including Wave–Current Interaction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents a very brief overview of the development of a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model involving a flow-dependent eddy viscosity and including enhancements of bottom friction due to wave-current interaction ...
On the Effective Capacity of the Dense-Water Reservoir for the Nordic Seas Overflow: Some Effects of Topography and Wind Stress
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he overflow of the dense water mass across the Greenland?Scotland Ridge (GSR) from the Nordic Seas drives the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC). The Nordic Seas is a large basin with an enormous reservoir ...
Some Dynamical Constraints on Upstream Pathways of the Denmark Strait Overflow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he East Greenland Current (EGC) had long been considered the main pathway for the Denmark Strait overflow (DSO). Recent observations, however, indicate that the north Icelandic jet (NIJ), which flows westward along the ...
Hydraulic Control of Flows with Nonuniform Potential Vorticity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The hydraulics of flow contained in a channel and having nonuniform potential vorticity is considered from a general standpoint. The channel cross section is rectangular and the potential vorticity is assumed to be prescribed ...
Parametric Finite Element Analysis of Physical Stimuli Resulting From Mechanical Stimulation of Tissue Engineered Cartilage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: While mechanical stimulation of cells seeded within scaffolds is widely thought to be beneficial, the amount of benefit observed is highly variable between experimental systems. Although studies ...
Hydraulically Drained Flows in Rotating Basins. Part I: Method
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An asymptotic method for coupling circulations in basins to hydraulically controlled overflows is introduced. The method is applicable when the forcing, dissipation, and coupling with the overflow are weak, in which case ...
Rotating Hydraulics and Upstream Basin Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The flow in a source-fed f-plane basin drained through a strait is explored using a single-layer (reduced gravity) shallow-water numerical model that resolves the hydraulic flow within the strait. The steady upstream basin ...
