Observation of swell dissipation across oceans
Global observations of ocean swell, from satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar data, are used to estimate the dissipation of swell energy for a number of storms. Swells can be very persistent with energy e-folding scales exceeding 20,000 km. For increasing swell steepness this scale shrinks systematically, down to 2800 km for the steepest observed swells, revealing a significant loss of swell ener...
متن کاملTurbulence wall-shear stress sensor for the atmospheric surface layer
A new sensor is described for measuring the fluctuating component of the wall-shear stress in the atmospheric surface layer over relatively smooth uniform terrain. The sensor was tested at the Surface Layer Turbulence and Environmental Science Test (SLTEST) site on the western salt flats of Utah, giving the first ever direct measurements of this quantity in an atmospheric-scale flow. The device...
متن کاملSurface Shear Stress Fluctuations in the Atmospheric Surface Layer
A lightweight, high frequency response, floating element sensor was used to measure wall shear stress fluctuations in an atmospheric surface layer. The sensor uses a laser position measurement system to track the motion of the floating element. The measurements were taken as part of an internationally coordinated experimental program designed to make extensive spatial and temporal measurements ...
متن کاملRennet-induced milk coagulation by continuous steady shear stress.
The effect of continuous steady shear stress (CSSS) on rennet-induced coagulation of milk was studied by measuring the change in viscosity of the system with time. Continuous shear stress (< or =0.5 Pa) applied during coagulation did not counteract the network formation at standard cheese-making conditions. In fact, CSSS of 0.2 Pa promoted coagulation by possibly increasing diffusion, collision...
متن کاملShear-induced sedimentation in yield stress fluids
Stability of coarse particles against gravity is an important issue in dense suspensions (fresh concrete, foodstuff, etc.). On the one hand, it is known that they are stable at rest when the interstitial paste has a high enough yield stress; on the other hand, it is not yet possible to predict if a given material will remain homogeneous during a flow. Using MRI techniques, we study the time evo...
