Two - component / Double Diffusive Marangoni (DDM) convection with Dufour effects, in a two-layered system, has been studied analytically by using Darcy – Brinkmann Model. For fluid layer, the upper boundary is free surface tension depending on both temperature and concentration, for porous layer lower rigid boundaries are insulating to heat mass. At interface, normal velocity, stress, shear ma...

Abstract In the first divertor campaign in Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X), unexpected significant heat loads were observed at particular plasma-facing components (e.g. baffle tiles and middle part) which not designed to receive high flux. a prior investigation, it was concluded that previous diffusive field line tracing (DFLT) model used for design W7-X cannot reproduce these loads, due missing physics...

Parameterizations of the eddy-induced velocity that advects tracers in addition to the Eulerian mean flow are traditionally expressed as a downgradient Fickian diffusion of either isopycnal layer thickness or large-scale potential vorticity (PV). There is an ongoing debate on which of the two closures is better and how the spatial dependence of the eddy diffusivity should look like. To increase...

Shear-induced particle migration was investigated by using a continuum diffusive -flux model for the creep flow of nickel powder filled polymers, which are viscous with shear-thinning characteristic. The model, together with flow equations, was employed for solving the non-Newtonian flow patterns and non-uniform particle concentration distribution of mono-modal suspensions in a pressure-driven ...

Aims. We study stability of differentially rotating non-magnetic proto-neutron stars. Methods. Linear stability properties are considered taking into account neutrino transport. Results. If neutrino transport is efficient, the star can be subject to a diffusive instability that can occur even in the convectively stable region. The instability arises on the time-scale comparable to the time-scal...

We derive interferometric field representations that are valid for diffusive field methods. The method retrieves the reflection response of the earth, as if the domain above the receiver depth level is homogeneous. It is represented as the flux-normalized up going field deconvolved by the down going field. The deconvolution step can be seen as a weighted crosscorrelation step, which is the usua...

A concentration difference of particles across a membrane perforated by pores will induce a diffusive flux. If the diffusing objects are of the same length scale as the pores, diffusion may not be simple; objects can move into the pore in a configuration that requires them to back up in order to continue forward. A configuration that blocks flow through the pore may be statistically preferred, ...
