Bioturbation and porosity gradients
Ubiquitous porosity gradients have a potentially important effect on the mixing of particle-bound tracers, such as 210Pb Mass-depth coordinates cannot be used to deal with these effects if values of the traditional mixing coefficient, D,, are required. This paper compares and evaluates three different means of dealing directly with porosity gradients while modeling bioturbation, i.e. mean const...
متن کاملThe steady aerodynamics of aerofoils with porosity gradients.
This theoretical study determines the aerodynamic loads on an aerofoil with a prescribed porosity distribution in a steady incompressible flow. A Darcy porosity condition on the aerofoil surface furnishes a Fredholm integral equation for the pressure distribution, which is solved exactly and generally as a Riemann-Hilbert problem provided that the porosity distribution is Hölder-continuous. The...
متن کاملThe effect of bioturbation apd adsorption gradients on solid and dissolved radium profiles in sediments from the eastern equatorial Pacific
Remobilization of Mn resulting from the,diagenetic oxidation of organic carbon causes steep adsorption gradients within hemipelagic sediments of the eastern equatorial Pacific. Transport of Ra along these gradients is capable of maintaining marked 226Ra-2?h disequilibrium in the surface sediments. Pore water and solid phase 226Ra profiles measured in cores from two sites in this area are modele...
متن کاملBioturbation, ecosystem functioning and community structure
The effect of community structure on the functioning of the ecosystem is an important issue in ecology due to continuing global species loss. The influence of infaunal community structure on the functioning of marine systems is proposed here to act primarily through bioturbation of the sediment. Nutrient concentration in the water column, generated by release from the sediment, was used as a me...
متن کاملIn situ generation of tunable porosity gradients in hydrogel-based scaffolds for microfluidic cell culture.
Compared with preformed anisotropic matrices, an anisotropic matrix that allows users to alter its properties and structure in situ after synthesis offers the important advantage of being able to mimic dynamic in vivo microenvironments, such as in tissues undergoing morphogenesis or in wounds undergoing tissue repair. In this study, porous gradients are generated in situ in a hydrogel comprisin...
