Low Heat Flow at Shallow Depth Intervals: Case Studies from Belarus

A depth-averaged electrokinetic flow model for shallow microchannels

Electrokinetic flows with heterogeneous conductivity configuration occur widely in microfluidic applications such as sample stacking and multidimensional assays. Electromechanical coupling in these flows may lead to complex flow phenomena, such as sample dispersion due to electro-osmotic velocity mismatch, and electrokinetic instability (EKI). In this work we develop a generalized electrokineti...

Convective Heat Transfer from a Heated Rotating Disk at Arbitrary Inclination Angle in Laminar Flow

In this paper, experimental data and numerical results of heat transfer from a heated rotating disk in still air are presented over a large range of inclination angles and a dimensionless correlation is developed for forced, natural and mixed convection. The measured Nusselt number over the rotating disk is compared with the numerical results. The goal of the present research is to develop a se...

Study of Multi-muon Events from EAS with the L3 Detector at Shallow Depth Underground

Fault slip rates at depth from recurrence intervals of repeating microearthquakes

Unique attributes in sequences of recurring, similar microearthquakes at Parkfield, California, provide a means for inferring slip rate at depth throughout the active fault surface from the time intervals between sequence events. Application of the method using an 11-year microseismicity record revealed systematic spatial and temporal changes in the slip rate that were synchronous with earthqua...
