To develop an accurate, compact and sensitive optical sensor capable of performing non-invasive instantaneous measurements of the rate of dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy TKE (E [m2/s3]). Turbulence dissipation rates provide vital information to determine mixing processes in the water column. In addition, enables the scaling information needed to link large mixing events with smallscale ...

In this article we consider a plate made of by two types of materials: a part is conservative and the other dissipative. We show that the dissipation produced for the second part is strong enough to obtain the uniform decay of the energy. moreover, we found that the rate of decay of the solutions depend on behavior of the dissipative term in a neighborhood of zero, that is, for a linear dissipa...

Laminar two dimensional forced convective heat transfer of Al2O3 –water nanofluid in a horizontal microchannel has been studied numerically, considering axial conduction, viscous dissipation and variable properties effects. The existing criteria in the literature for considering viscous dissipation in energy equation are compared for different cases and the most proper one is applied for the re...

Limits to sustained energy intake (SusEI) during lactation are important because they provide an upper boundary below which females must trade off competing physiological activities. To date, SusEI is thought to be limited either by the capacity of the mammary glands to produce milk (the peripheral limitation hypothesis) or by a female's ability to dissipate body heat (the heat dissipation hypo...

Several issues pertaining to the phenomenological description of rate-independent plasticity in crystalline solids are discussed. These include energy dissipation, the specification of initial plastic deformation, material symmetry and the modeling of scale-dependent response.

Discussed is the use of tctroons to obtain cstiinates of the Reynolds stresses, the rate of production of eddy kitictic energy through these stresses, thc coefficictit of eddy viscosity, and thc viscous dissipation within thc planetary boundary layer. At a n average height of about 3000 ft. (admittedly in thc upper portion of the boundary layer) the tetroons yield a mean value for the zonal Rey...

Liu et al. (1987) proposed a theoretical solution for scattering of waves through a permeable dissipation region. On the basis of bulk dissipation of the incident wave energy, this method is extended to evaluate the reflection and transmission coefficients of waves through a wave filter composed of rows of perforated sheets aligned normally to the direction of wave propagation. The results of t...

The rough-strips energy dissipator (R-SED) is applied to the bottom of spillway bend and can play role dissipation flow stabilization. In this study, based on 18 sets orthogonal tests principle dimensional analysis, a multifactor influence model R-SED’s rate was proposed. A dimensionless factor k introduced, which reflect comprehensive characteristics geometric dimensions R-SEDs. considered nin...

This paper discusses relationships between the frictional strength of a flowing granular material and quantities including porosity and grain-scale energy dissipation. The goal of the paper is to foster an understanding of frictional strength that will facilitate the development of constitutive laws incorporating important physical processes. This is accomplished in several steps. First, a fric...

in this paper, the optimal location and characteristics of tadas dampers in moment resisting steel structures, considering the application of minimum number of tadas dampers in a building as an objective function and the restriction for destruction of main members is studied. genetic algorithm in first generation randomly produces different chromosomes representing unique tadas dampers distribu...
