The momentum integral of a baroclinic jet of fluid in a rotating frame determines the relative size of two jets which are produced when the jet is split by a wall. Owing to lateral variation of velocity and depth of the jet, the percentage of fluid which goes to the right or left differs from that of the non-rotating jet, which is generally assumed to have no shew-. For a northern hemisphere je...

This work provides a description of the critical threshold phenomenon in multi-dimensional restricted Euler–Poisson (REP) equations, introduced in [H. Liu, E. Tadmor. Spectral dynamics of the velocity gradient field in restricted fluid flows, Comm. Math. Phys. 228 (2002) 435–466]. For three-dimensional REP equations, we identified both upper thresholds for the finite-time blow up of solutions a...

Soil detachment is known as an important process in soil erosion and its quantification is necessary to establish a basic understanding of erosion. This study was carried out to find the best flow erosivity indicator(s) for predicting detachment rate at low slopes. For this purpose, 12 experiments including 6 flow discharges (75, 100, 125, 150, 175 and 200 ml/s) and 2 slope gradients (1.5 and 2...

Reliable seismic depth migrations require an accurate input velocity model. Inaccurate velocity estimates will distort point diffractors into smiles or frowns on a depth section. For both poststack and prestack migrated sections, high velocities cause deep smiles while low velocities cause shallow frowns on migrated gathers. However, for prestack images in the offset domain, high velocities cau...

In the present paper, the Zelt algorithm has been extended for ray tracing through an anisotropic model. In anisotropic media, the direction of the propagated energy generally differs from that of the plane-wave propagation. This makes velocity values to be varied in different directions. Therefore, velocity modeling in such media is completely different from that in an isotropic media. The vel...

An object moving in depth produces retinal images that change in position over time by different amounts in the two eyes. This allows stereoscopic perception of motion in depth to be based on either one or both of two different visual signals: inter-ocular velocity differences, and binocular disparity change over time. Disparity change over time can produce the perception of motion in depth. Ho...
