چکیده
Mixing of air containing small water droplets is investigated in the laboratory model to elucidate smallest scales of air entrainment and mixing in real clouds. Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is applied to evaluate turbulent characteristics of the flow field generated in the cloud chamber by buoyancy of the introduced mist. It permits to investigate dynamics of the process for scales from 0.07 mm to few centimeters, characteristic for a real cloud microphysics. Three velocity components retrieved in the vertical cross-section through the chamber interior indicate anisotropy of small-scale turbulent motions, with the preferred vertical direction. This result confirms earlier numerical studies, indicating, that evaporation of cloud droplets at the cloud-clear air interface may substantially influence the small-scale turbulence in clouds.

We propose a method for visualization of the characteristic feature of complex networks, which displays their static structures, growing processes, and flows on the networks. The method is based on appropriate coloring of edges of network graphs. Applying the method on models of complex networks and some real-world networks, we show several characteristic patterns in many aspects of networks. T...

The present paper describes an experiment performed in a transonic wind tunnel facility where a new test section has been developed especially for the investigation of the unsteady flow above oscillating airfoils under dynamic stall conditions. Dynamic stall is characterized by the development, movement and shedding of one or more concentrated vortices on the airfoils upper surface. The hystere...

We present a visual analysis and exploration of the transfer of heat via fluid flow through a cooling jacket. Engineers invest a large amount of time and serious effort to optimize the flow through this engine component because of its important role in transferring heat away from the engine block. In this study we examine the design goals that engineers apply in order to construct an ideal-as-p...

A new approach for estimating motion in microfluidic flows is presented. Is is based on an extension of the brightness changes constraint equation (BCCE) to incorporate Taylor dispersion. This extended BCCE is then used for accurately estimating fluid flows in a two dimensional Molecular Tagging Velocimetry (2D-MTV) framework. Reference measurements were conducted to validate the accuracy and a...

In this paper, we present a fast and accurate method for the combined detection and interactive visualization of vortex structures in 3D flow and their corresponding velocity field. Vortex surfaces are extracted by identifying vortex core lines in combination with isosurfaces of λ2. The velocity field on those vortex surfaces is visualized by a surface LIC method that works in image space. An e...
