A comparison of the quantity and composition of material caught in a neutrally buoyant versus surface-tethered sediment trap
The #ux and composition of material caught using two di!erent upper ocean sediment trap designs was compared at the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study site (BATS). The standard surface-tethered trap array at BATS was compared to a newly designed neutrally buoyant sediment trap (NBST). Both traps used identical cylindrical collection tubes. Of particular concern was the e!ect of horizontal #ow o...
متن کاملDescription of stability and neutrally buoyant transport in freshwater lakes
The concept of potential density, introduced by oceanographers to describe the vertical stability of a water column, may be inadequate if the water temperature is close to the temperature of maximum density, Tmd, where the thermal expansion coefficient changes its sign. Because r,, decreases with increasing pressure potential density especially fails to provide a reliable means for the analysis...
متن کاملAcceleration statistics of neutrally buoyant spherical particles in intense turbulence.
We measure acceleration statistics of neutrally buoyant spherical particles with a diameter 0.4 < d/eta < 27 in intense turbulence (400 < R(lambda) < 815). High speed cameras image polystyrene tracer particles in a flow between counterrotating disks. The measurements of acceleration variance clearly resolve the transition from the tracer like behavior of small particles to the much small...
متن کاملInstabilities in the dynamics of neutrally buoyant particles
The asymptotic dynamics of finite-size particles is governed by a slow manifold that is globally attracting for sufficiently small Stokes numbers. For neutrally buoyant particles suspensions , the slow dynamics coincide with that of infinitesimally small particles, therefore the suspension dynamics should synchronize with Lagrangian particle motions. Paradoxically, recent studies observe a scat...
