A study of statistical features of auroras during substorm activity is presented, emphasizing characteristics which are commonly applied to turbulent flows. Data from all-sky television (TV) observations from the Barentsburg observatory (Svalbard) have been used. Features of the probability density function (PDF) of auroral fluctuations have been examined at different spatial scales. We find th...

Prior to the 2001 CMER pilot study, several TFW cooperators conducted independent field studies of the distribution of perennial and seasonal headwater streams (Table 1). All of the studies were conducted during the summer low flow seasons of 1998 or 2000, in part, to evaluate proposed regulatory guidelines that differentiate non-fish-bearing headwater streams on the basis of the seasonal flow ...

Considering a simple one dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger optical model, we study the existence of rogue wave events in the highly incoherent state of the system and compare them with the recently identified hierarchy of rational soliton solutions. We show that rogue waves can emerge in the genuine turbulent regime and that their coherent deterministic description provided by the rational soli...

Riometers monitor the changes in ionospheric onductivity by measuring the absorption of very high frequency radio noise of galactic origin passing through the ionosphere. In this Letter the absorption of radio signals by a thin layer of ionospheric plasma, produced by ionization due to energetic precipitating electrons, is modeled by taking into account strong turbulent heating caused by instab...

The problem of the resolution of turbulent flows in adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) simulations is investigated by means of 3D hydrodynamical simulations in an idealised setup, representing a moving subcluster during a merger event. AMR simulations performed with the usual refinement criteria based on local gradients of selected variables do not properly resolve the production of turbulence down...

To reveal the inner mechanism of gas explosion dynamic behavior affected by gas equivalent concentration, a high speed Schlieren image system and flow field measurement technology was applied to record the gas explosion flame propagation and flame structure transition. The results show that a flame front structure transition occurs, followed by a flame accelerating propagation process. The lami...
