Modern submarine channels form distinctive morphological features on the seafloor and play a critical role in shaping marine sedimentary record. Recent studies have captured extremely diverse range of cross-sectional geometries from bathymetric data, which typically display aspect ratios markedly different to stratigraphic record ancient channels. Here, we compare reconcile relationship between...

Nanofluids are stable suspensions of nanoparticles in conventional heat transfer fluids (base fluids) that exhibit better thermal characteristics compared to those of the base fluids. It is important to clarify various aspects of nanofluids behavior. In order to identify the thermal and hydrodynamic behavior of nanofluids flowing through non-circular ducts, in the present study the laminar flow...

We performed extensive numerical simulation of diffusion-limited aggregation in two-dimensional channel geometry. Contrary to earlier claims, the measured fractal dimension D=1.712+/-0.002 and its leading correction to scaling are the same as in the radial case. The average cluster, defined as the average conformal map, is similar but not identical to Saffman-Taylor fingers.

[1] Data on channel geometry in naturally incising bedrock rivers reveal variable relationships between channel width, slope, and erosion rate. To explain the range of relationships between these parameters, we propose an optimized channel geometry model. The model reproduces previous theoretical and numerical modeling scaling relationships; however, to explain the field data, the model must in...

Field surveys of channel width w and drainage area A in bedrock channel reaches reveal relationships where w 5 cA, similar to the classic hydraulic geometry of alluvial channels. Data from five mountain channel networks support the assumption used in many landscape evolution models that an alluvial hydraulic geometry relationship where b 5 0.3–0.5 holds for bedrock channel systems. Although the...

The simulation of electromagnetic wave propagation in time-variant wideband multiple-input multiple-output mobile radio channels using a geometry-based channel model (GCM) is computationally expensive. Due to multipath propagation, a large number of complex exponentials must be evaluated and summed up. We present a low-complexity algorithm for the implementation of a GCM on a hardware channel s...
