We describe the application of a gravity wave-generating technique to certain higher dimensional black holes. We find that the induced waves generically destroy the event horizon producing parallelly propagated curvature singularities. Based on a talk presented at the Seventh Canadian Conference on General Relativity and Relativistic Astrophysics in Calgary, AB, Canada, May 31 – June 7, 1997. E...

Natural convection in cubical enclosure with hot surface geometry and partial partitions has been analyzed. The geometry is a cube with wavy hot surface (three undulations) and three partitions. The investigation has been performed for different partitions lengths and Rayleigh number while the Prandtl number kept constant. This problem is solved by using the partial differential equations which...

The complexity of wavy film flows results in a high computational cost for a direct numerical simulation. Simplified models are therefore attractive alternatives for engineering design calculations. An incremental approach for the identification of transport models in wavy film flows is presented here. The proposed strategy decomposes the identification problem into a series of sequential, comp...

Wilson loops which are small deviations from straight, infinite lines, called wavy lines, are considered in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence. A single wavy line and the connected correlation function of a straight and wavy line are considered. It is argued that, to leading order in “waviness”, the functional form of the loop is universal and the coefficient, which is a function of the ...

The structural organization and protein composition of lens fiber junctions isolated from adult bovine and calf lenses were studied using combined electron microscopy, immunolocalization with monoclonal and polyclonal anti-MIP and anti-MP70 (two putative gap junction-forming proteins), and freeze-fracture and label-fracture methods. The major intrinsic protein of lens plasma membranes (MIP) was...

Turbulent flows over wavy surfaces give rise to the formation of ripples, dunes and other natural bedforms. To predict how much sediment these transport, research has focused mainly on basal shear stress, which peaks upstream highest topography, largely ignored corresponding pressure variations. In this article, we reanalyze old literature data, as well more recent wind tunnel results, shed a n...
