Wavelength selection and symmetry breaking in orbital wave ripples
Sand ripples formed by waves have a uniformwavelength while at equilibrium and develop defects while adjusting to changes in the flow. These patterns arise from the interaction of the flow with the bed topography, but the specific mechanisms have not been fully explained. We use numerical flow models and laboratory wave tank experiments to explore the origins of these patterns. The wavelength o...
متن کاملOrbital engineering in symmetry-breaking polar heterostructures.
We experimentally demonstrate a novel approach to substantially modify orbital occupations and symmetries in electronically correlated oxides. In contrast to methods using strain or confinement, this orbital tuning is achieved by exploiting charge transfer and inversion symmetry breaking using atomically layered heterostructures. We illustrate the technique in the LaTiO_{3}-LaNiO_{3}-LaAlO_{3} ...
متن کاملGeometry of Wave-Formed Orbital Ripples in Coarse Sand
Using new large-scale wave-flume experiments we examine the cross-section and planform geometry of wave-formed ripples in coarse sand (median grain sizeD50 = 430 μm) under high-energy shoaling and plunging random waves. We find that the ripples remain orbital for the full range of encountered conditions, even for wave forcing when in finer sand the ripple length λr is known to become independen...
متن کاملWavelength selection of rolling-grain ripples in the laboratory.
We have performed an experimental study, at very high resolution, of the wavelength selection and the evolution of rolling-grain ripples. A clear distinction is made between the flat sand bed instability and the ripple coarsening. The observation of the initial wavelength for the rolling-grain ripples is only possible close to the threshold for movement which imposes a constraint on the paramet...
متن کاملTemporal and spatial changes of incoming solar short-wave wavelength and long-wave wavelength in the region of Iran
The smallest change in energy exchange of Earth System Shifts the balance of life. In order to be aware of the solar radiation Balance, Recognition of the measure of Balance level of the input and output components of radiation of input Short wavelength to the surface of the earth and Long Output Wavelength, it is necessary from the earth. To study the energy balance of input and output in Iran...
