An Optical Model for Ballistic Plumes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We use a ballistic model to simulate the particle number densities in plumes on Io as a function of eruption rates and particle size distributions. Comparison of the simulated apparent brightness variations within plumes with the properties of actual plumes allows constraints to be put on the particle sizes present and the eruption rates. We find evidence for lower eruption rates, by a factor of up to ten, than those deduced earlier.

Random deposition model with friction: Equivalent to ballistic deposition without lateral growth
The Random Deposition model is the simplest model for surface growth, where there is no correlation between the neighbor sites of the lattice. In the Ballistic deposition model, the particles stick to the first neighbor particle; thus it is used to describe the deposition of the sticky particles. However, in many true-life phenomena involving surface growth, there is no adhesion. Instead, the f...
متن کاملRoom-temperature ballistic transport in III-nitride heterostructures.
Room-temperature (RT) ballistic transport of electrons is experimentally observed and theoretically investigated in III-nitrides. This has been largely investigated at low temperatures in low band gap III-V materials due to their high electron mobilities. However, their application to RT ballistic devices is limited by their low optical phonon energies, close to KT at 300 K. In addition, the sh...
متن کاملBallistic Testing and Simulation of Co-continuous Ceramic Composite for Body Armour
Co-Continuous Ceramic Composites, referred to as C4, have bi-continuous, interconnected and interpenetrating phases of a metal and ceramic. This bestows such composites with a higher strength to weight ratio compared with traditional composites. In this research work, a C4 composite of AA5083/SiC is fabricated for personal body armour, using gravity infiltration technique. A numerical simulatio...
متن کاملShort-term variations in the distribution of hydrothermal plumes along a superfast spreading center, East Pacific Rise, 27 300–32 200S
[1] A multidisciplinary expedition to the southern East Pacific Rise (27 300–32 200S) provided an opportunity to compare the efficiency and effectiveness of two methods for mapping hydrothermal plumes: the standard conductivity-temperature-depth-optical (CTDO) tow-yo method and a towed fixed array of hydrographic and optical sensors (Miniature Autonomous Plume Recorders (MAPRs)). Six second-ord...
متن کاملKinematics of Diffuse Ionized Gas Halos: A Ballistic Model of Halo Rotation
To better understand diffuse ionized gas kinematics and halo rotation in spiral galaxies, we have developed a model in which clouds are ejected from the disk and follow ballistic trajectories through the halo. The behavior of clouds in this model has been investigated thoroughly through a parameter space search and a study of individual cloud orbits. Synthetic velocity profiles have been genera...
