climatological study of the mid-latitude storm tracks was investigated using the daily global forecast system (gfs) and the national centers for environmental prediction (ncep) reanalysis data sets from 1948 to 2008 winter seasons. in anomalous winter 2007-2008, decreasing of eddy kinetic energy along with the reduction of eddy available potential energy upstream of atlantic storm track are rel...

Spatial linear stability analysis is used to study the axisymmetric screech tones generated by twin converging round nozzles at low supersonic Mach numbers. Vortex-sheet and finite-thickness models allow for identification of different waves supported flow conditions. Regions frequency–wavenumber domain which upstream-propagating guided jet modes are observed be neutrally stable vary as a funct...

Using a coupled physical-biological model, we document that a 30 km wide meandering jet constitutes a major source of biological enrichment in the Alboran Sea (Western Mediterranean) even in the absence of wind forcing and tidal dynamics. The level of enrichment is shown to vary markedly during the year depending on the upstream characteristics of the jet as it exits from the Gibraltar Strait. ...

Numerical model simulations of idealized and observed flows are used to investigate the dynamics of low-level jet streams that form in stratified flow downstream of the vertex of large elliptical barriers such as the southern tip of Greenland, hereafter referred to as ‘‘tip jets’’. The tip jet dynamics are governed by conservation of Bernouli function as parcels accelerate down the pressure gra...

Turbulent scalar mixing in the near field of a tee mixer (transverse jet in a pipe) is studied using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence (PLIF). Two jet-to-pipe velocity ratios, r = 3.06 and r = 5.04, are investigated for a turbulent pipe flow at a Reynolds number of 20,850. The laser measurement techniques are described, typical flow structures in the near fi...

Direct numerical simulations are performed to predict the three-dimensional unsteady flow interactions in the near-field of a square jet issuing normal to a cross-flow. The simulated flow features reveal the formation of an upstream horseshoe vortex system, which is the result of an interaction between the oncoming channel floor shear layer and the transverse jet; the growth of a sequence of Ke...

The paper develops the argument that the long-term structural evolution of an industry depends on the evolution of a vertically-related, downstream industry. We analyse two pairs of vertically-related industries, the jet and turboprop aircraft and engine industries, since the first introduction of the jet and turboprop technologies to 1998. The paper shows that the evolutionary dynamics of the ...
