Stirring up trouble: Multi-scale mixing measures for steady scalar sources
The mixing efficiency of a flow advecting a passive scalar sustained by steady sources and sinks is naturally defined in terms of the suppression of bulk scalar variance in the presence of stirring, relative to the variance in the absence of stirring. These variances can be weighted at various spatial scales, leading to a family of multi-scale mixing measures and efficiencies. We derive a prior...
متن کاملResuspension and oxygen uptake of sediments in combined sewers
Combined sewer sediment properties were studied in small-scale laboratory ̄umes. Physical and biological characteristics of freshly remoulded sediment beds and beds undisturbed for 1±4 days were examined. When sediment beds were incubated for 1±2 days, the beds became covered with bio®lm and the bed volumes increased by 20±40% due to the formation of methane-®lled cavities. The bed strength dec...

exploratory bouts in a novel environment? The only way to find out will be to record chronically across multiple units and cortical layers during the actual behavior and plasticity process. Finally, how such a shift in excitatory–inhibitory balance might be achieved is of interest. The brevity of the exploratory behavior required for bidirectional map changes is suggestive. Remarkably, just 4 m...

متن کاملNear-Bottom Turbulence and Sediment Resuspension Induced by Nonlinear Internal Waves
The long term goal of this work is to develop a fundamental understanding and predictive capability of the underlying physics of the interaction of nonlinear internal waves (NLIWs) with the continental shelf seafloor over a broad range of environmental conditions. We are particularly interested in how such interactions impact underwater optics and acoustics and shelf energetics and ecology by s...
