Abstract: The physics of frictional control for channelized rotating gravity currents are analyzed using an extensive dataset including hydrographic, current, and microstructure measurements from the western Baltic Sea. Rotational ...

Abstract: A detailed dataset describing a quasi-stationary bottom gravity current, approximately 10 m thick and 10 km wide, passing through a channel-like constriction in the western Baltic Sea is presented. The data include full-depth, ...

Abstract: A second-moment R eynolds S tress T ransport M odel (RSTM) is used in the present work for computing the flow around a two-dimensional airfoil. An incompressible SIMPLEC code is used, employing ...

Abstract: The influence of the Bay of Bothnia sea level on the water stages in a series of interconnected lakes near the city of Lulea in Sweden is studied. Future conditions as a consequence of land elevation and channel improvements ...

Abstract: Large-scale geophysical flows often exhibit layers with negligible vertical shear and infinite gradient Richardson number Ri. It is well known that these layers may be regions of active mixing, even in the absence of local ...

Abstract: Hobbing is a common manufacturing method when producing helical, involute gears. In order to give the manufactured gear a controlled surface smoothness, a method to, very accurately, determine ...

Abstract: In a recent paper, Sansom presents a new representation of subhour rainfall variations as derived from pluviographs from tilting-siphon raingages. This representation is based on breakpoints where the trace changes slope ...

Abstract: The efficiency of mixing in stably stratified systems where the turbulent mixing is confined to intermittent patches is investigated theoretically. It is possible to define two different flux Richardson numbers for mixing ...

Abstract: nsemble square root filters can either assimilate all observations that are available at a given time at once, or assimilate the observations in batches or one at a time. For large-scale models, the filters are typically ...

Abstract: In second‐order reliability methods the failure surface in the standard normal space is approximated by a parabolic surface at the design point. The corresponding probability is computed by asymptotic formulas and by ...
