An effective scale-dependent dispersivity deduced from a purely convective flow field

An effective scale-dependent dispersivity deduced from a purely convective flow field

In the case of straight flow but with hydraulic conductivity varying in a transverse direction, the distribution of hydraulic conductivity has been determined for which the breakthrough curve due to convection only will have the same analytical form as the onedimensional convection/dispersion equation solution at the outlet end of a porous medium. That distribution is found exactly and it is ve...

Impact of Magnetic Field on Convective Flow of a Micropolar Fluid with two Parallel Heat Source

A numerical study is performed to analysis the buoyancy convection induced by the parallel heated baffles in an inclined square cavity. The two side walls of the cavity are maintained at a constant temperature. A uniformly thin heated plate is placed at the centre of the cavity. The horizontal top and bottom walls are adiabatic. Numerical solutions of governing equations are obtained using the ...

Convective flow field measurement by speckle velocimetry

2014 A 2-D velocity map in a cylindrical Rayleigh-Bénard flow is determined by means of a speckle photography technique. Automatic velocity measurements are performed by two different methods : (i) Isovelocity contours are drawn by spatial filtering; (ii) Local illumination by a laser beam produces Young’s fringes which are analysed by an image processing system. New methods are proposed for di...

Scale-dependent bias from multiple-field inflation

We provide a formula for the scaling behaviour of the inflationary bispectrum in the ‘squeezed’ limit where one momentum becomes much smaller than the other two. This determines the scaling of the halo bias at low wavenumber and will be an important observable for the next generation of galaxy surveys. Our formula allows it to be predicted for the first time for a generic inflationary model wit...
