Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP’s) are easier to apply and more rapidly collect velocity data than traditional current-meter instruments. However, flow discharge estimates in natural rivers and canals based on ADCP measurements rely on extrapolations of the measured velocity profiles into the unmeasured zones of the flow. Furthermore, the accuracy and reliability of ADCP’s have not bee...

In this paper, we are interested to determine the carbon dioxide pressure in the arterial blood through radial velocity difference. The blood was modeled as a two phase mixture (an aqueous carbon dioxide solution with carbon dioxide gas) by Drift flux model and the Young-Laplace equation. The distributions of mixture velocities determined from the considered model permitted the calculation of t...

Abstract Recent inertial confinement fusion experiments have shown primary spectral moments which are incompatible with a Maxwellian velocity distribution description. These results show that an ion kinetic description of the reacting ions is necessary. We develop theoretical classification non-Maxwellian distributions using moments. At mesoscopic level, monoenergetic decomposition reveals ther...
