Self-similarity has been the paradigmatic picture for the pinch-off of a drop. Here we will show through high-speed imaging and boundary integral simulations that the inverse problem, the pinch-off of an air bubble in water, is not self-similar in a strict sense: A disk is quickly pulled through a water surface, leading to a giant, cylindrical void which after collapse creates an upward and a d...

[1] Gravity waves forced by circular bell-shaped mountains are simulated using the Advanced Regional Prediction System model for four directionally sheared wind profiles W1, W2, W2a, and W2b. W1 is eastward at the surface, while the latter three are southeastward. With the vertical shear directed northward, W1 shows an increasing speed with height, whereas W2, W2a, and W2b are first decelerated...

In this research, the numerical method of computational fluid dynamics and dimensionless parameter of Froude number have been applied to determine the flow regime over ogee spillways.Froude number is a dimensionless dynamic parameter calculated using the square root of the ratio of inertia force and gravitational force. Considering that the study of the regimes of flow over hydraulic structures...

abstract study of turbidity current hydrodynamics plays an important role in increasing the economical life of dams though reduction in sediment accumulation. in the present experimental study, the effect of entrance densimetric froude number of turbidity current in sub and super critical conditions (fr =0.6-3.5) have been tested through effect of channel slope and change related to opening hei...

A technical obstruction preventing the conclusion of nonlinear stability of large-Froude number roll waves of the St. Venant equations for inclined thin film flow is the ”slope condition” of Johnson-Noble-Zumbrun, used to obtain pointwise symmetrizability of the linearized equations and thereby high-frequency resolvent bounds and a crucial H nonlinear damping estimate. Numerically, this conditi...
