Numerical simulations of dense water cascading on a steep slope

Numerical simulations of dense clouds on steep slopes: Application to powder-snow avalanches

In this paper two-dimensional Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of dense clouds moving down steep slopes are presented for the first time. The results obtained are in good agreement with the overall characteristics – that is, the spatial growth rate and velocity variations – of clouds studied in the laboratory. Direct numerical simulations give, in addition to the overall flow structure, local...

On the dynamics of dense water descending a continental slope

Dense Media Scattering Based on Numerical Simulations

The frequency and polarization dependence of scattering by the densely packed spherical particles is rigorously studied with the Monte Carlo simulations for solving both 2and 3-dimensional Maxwell's equations at microwave frequencies. Numerical simulation solutions indicate that the frequency dependence of densely packed sticky small particles is much weaker than that of independent scattering ...

A steep-slope transistor based on abrupt electronic phase transition

Collective interactions in functional materials can enable novel macroscopic properties like insulator-to-metal transitions. While implementing such materials into field-effect-transistor technology can potentially augment current state-of-the-art devices by providing unique routes to overcome their conventional limits, attempts to harness the insulator-to-metal transition for high-performance ...

Slope Length Effects on Soil Loss for Steep Slopes

cients. Normalizing to a unit plot of length 22.13 m, both the USLE and RUSLE use the equation Empirical soil erosion models continue to play an important role in soil conservation planning and environmental evaluations around L 5 (l/22.13) [2] the world. The effect of hillslope length on soil loss, often termed the where L is soil loss normalized to the 22.13-m-long slope length factor, is one...
