We investigate the approach to scaling for non-perturbative quark fragmentation in the framework of the uncorrelated jet model. It is found that subasymptotic kinematic scale breaking is comparable in size to scaling violations from hard gluon emission a la QCD. Experimental data available at present do allow for such non-perturbative scale breaking effects.

From algal suspensions to magma upwellings, one finds jets which exhibit complex symmetry-breaking instabilities as they are decelerated by their surroundings. We consider here a model system--a saline jet descending through a salinity gradient--which produces dynamics unlike those of standard momentum jets or plumes. The jet coils like a corkscrew within a conduit of viscously entrained fluid,...

Sources of vorticity are examined for a laboratory-generated spilling breaking wave. Two cases are studied. For the first case, based on the breaker height, the Reynolds and Froude numbers are 7370 and 2.04, respectively. The breaker is preceded by 1 mm wavelength capillary waves, with the largest amplitude-to-wavelength ratio equal to 0.18. For this case, it is found that the dominant source o...

Winter 2013/14 was the stormiest on record for the UK and was characterized by recurrent clustering of extratropical cyclones. This clustering was associated with a strong, straight and persistent North Atlantic jet and was also associated with Rossby wave breaking (RWB) on both flanks, pinning the jet in place. The occurrence of RWB and cyclone clustering is further studied in 36 years of the ...

This paper describes a large cyclonic gyre that lasted several days in the northwest Pacific during July 1988. Cyclonic winds at 850 hPa extended beyond the 2000-km radius with a radius of maximum winds of 700– 800 km. The gyre exhibited clear skies within and north of its center. Active convection extended 4000 km in longitude to its south. The Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) was in its active...

With the continuous development of high-pressure water jet technology, research on optimization structural parameters for multi-nozzle configurations, perforation effect rotational impact rock breaking, and force during breaking has received increasing attention. Through a self-designed drilling test device, experiments were conducted sandstone different strengths using streams with inclination...

We study numerically the two dimensional linear instabilities of an incompressible, inviscid, density stratified, symmetric jet as a function of a width parameter, D. In the limit of infinite D, the maximum growth rate of temporal instability exponentially approaches that of the shear flow on either flank of the jet. The growth rate need not approach this limit monotonically, however. For some ...

Lagrangian-mean wave activity diagnostics are applied to the nonlinear baroclinic eddy life cycle in a simple general circulation model of the atmosphere. The growth of these instabilities through baroclinic conversion of potential temperature gradients and their subsequent barotropic decay can exhibit two distinct life cycles. One life cycle results in equatorward propagation of the growing ed...

For fundamental analysis of the transport of mass or heat in a dispersed system, accurate knowledge of behavior of jet is prerequisite. For generation of high interfacial area breaking of liquid jet in to small droplet is necessary. Liquid jet breakup is a complex phenomenon and dependent on many factors like velocity of jet, pressure difference, geometry of nozzle, temperature of both fluid, p...

The eddy-driven jet is located in the midlatitudes, bounded on one side by the pole and often bounded on the opposite side by a strong Hadley-driven jet. This work explores how the eddy-driven jet and its variability persist within these limits. It is demonstrated in a barotropic model that as the jet is located at higher latitudes, the eddy length scale increases as predicted by spherical Ross...
