Abstract. Microphysical processes are important for the development of clouds and thus Earth's climate. For example, turbulent fluctuations in water vapor mixing ratio, r, temperature, T, cause saturation S. Because S is driving factor condensational growth droplets, may broaden cloud droplet size distribution due to individual droplets experiencing different rates. The small-scale atmosphere t...

Performance of a cardiac assist device pumping chamber in counterpulsation was evaluated using numerical simulations of the unsteady, three-dimensional flow inside the chamber and an analytical model of the force required to eject and fill the chamber. The wall shear stress within the device was similarly computed and modeled. The analytical model was scaled to match the numerical results and t...

Abstract This experimental study investigates the effects of internal geometry modifications on performance a curved Sweeping Jet actuator. The are applied to feedback channel and mixing chamber Coanda surface, resulting actuator properties evaluated using time-resolved static pressure measurements inside hot-wire external flow. major result is that small, localized sweeping jet can lead comple...
