Comment on "Diffusion in biased turbulence".

چکیده
Recently Vlad et al. [Phys. Rev. E. 63, 066304 (2001)] applied the method of decorrelation trajectories to the transport of tracers in stochastic velocity fields with constant drift, and found that the average Lagrangian velocity is smaller than the Eulerian average. As this contradicts a theoretical result due to Lumley [in Mécanigue de la Turbulence, International Conference of the CNRS, Marseille, 1961 (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Paris, 1962)], two-dimensional numerical simulations are performed to confirm that the average Lagrangian and Eulerian velocities are in fact equal when the velocity field is divergence free.

Impacts of the Negative-exponential and the K-distribution modeled FSO turbulent links on the theoretical and simulated performance of the distributed diffusion networks
Merging the adaptive networks with the free space optical (FSO) communication technology is a very interesting field of research because by adding the benefits of this technology, the adaptive networks become more efficient, cheap and secure. This is due to the fact that FSO communication uses unregistered visible light bandwidth instead of the overused radio spectrum. However, in spite of all ...
متن کاملDiffusion of Innovation in Mental Health Policy Adoption: What Should We Ask about the Quality of Policy and the Role of Stakeholders in this Process?; Comment on “Cross-National Diffusion of Mental Health Policy”
In his recent study, Gordon Shen analyses a pertinent question facing the global mental health research and practice community today; that of how and why mental health policy is or is not adopted by national governments. This study identifies becoming a World Health Organization (WHO) member nation, and being in regional proximity to countries which have adopted a mental health policy as suppor...
متن کاملInvestigation of Air Turbulence Intensity Effect on the Flame Structure in Different Flame Holder Geometry
In this paper, the effect of air turbulence intensity on the flame structure in various radii and lengths of a flame holder numerically studied. Finite volume method is used to solve the governing equations. The obtained numerical results using realizable k-ε and β-PDF models show a good agreement with the experimental data. The results show that flame holder with greater lengths yield shorter ...

Factors influencing cross-national diffusion of mental health policy are important to understand but complex to research. This commentary discusses Shen’s research study on cross-national diffusion of mental health policy; examines the extent to which the three questions researched by Shen (whether countries are more likely to have a mental health policy (a) the earlier a country becomes a memb...
متن کاملGlobal Health Politics: Neither Solidarity nor Policy; Comment on “Globalization and the Diffusion of Ideas: Why We Should Acknowledge the Roots of Mainstream Ideas in Global Health”
The global health agenda has been dominating the current global health policy debate. Furthermore, it has compelled countries to embrace strategies for tackling health inequalities in a wide range of public health areas. The article by Robert and colleagues highlights that although globalization has increased opportunities to share and spread ideas, there is still great asymmetry of power accor...
