The presentation will briefly review a Lagrangian model for deforming droplets in turbulence, in which the cumulative deformation of fluid elements at small scales is crucial. In particular, we show how knowledge about the statistical distribution of finite-time Lyapunov exponents (FTLEs) can be used to find a critical Capillary number above which droplets will break up. Probability distributio...

In today's complex, dynamic and constantly changing environment, companies need to design and take systems and methods that can help them adapt themselves to the changeable and dynamic situation of competitive markets, and therefore improving marketing performance and generally the company’s performance. In this regard, business intelligence systems as a new method and tool can be considered as...

The ISM is a complex and highly dynamic system, and recent numerical modeling efforts have begun to take into account the effects of multiscale, timedependent processes, generically classified as “turbulence”. Turbulence transforms what would otherwise be a simple two-temperature state for atomic gas into a broader, but still bimodal, distribution; it also affects the relative proportions of ga...

Understanding the antecedents and consequences of a firm’s agility in cloud software applications is important. This papers draws on the competitive dynamics perspective to develop a model that explains the relationships between collaboration with vendors, agility, and competitive performance in software-as-a-service (SaaS) context. Collaboration reflects a firm’s ability to leverage interfirm ...

Financial services providers are exposed to a highly turbulent environment that is characterized by an intense competition for the development of new financial products and the attraction of customers. Against this background, Grid technology assimilation can be assumed to be a potential strategic response to address fast changing market demands and to enhance the operational agility of busines...

Advances in the visualization and prediction of turbulence are shedding new light on mass transfer in the turbulent boundary layer. These discoveries have important implications for many topics in environmental science and engineering, from the transport of earth-warming CO2 across the sea-air interface, to nutrient processing and sediment erosion in rivers, lakes, and the ocean, to pollutant r...

in this paper, considering the importance of incoming flow turbulence intensity into combustion chamber, tripping wire effect on the flow wake has been experimentally investigated within a linear compressor cascade. to do this, two wires were implemented along each blade and their effects on average velocity, turbulence intensity and vortices frequencies at reynolds number 45500 were accurately...

Recent 21 cm radio observations of HI regions in the Small Magellanic Cloud, have revealed spatial power spectra of the intensity, which are quite similar in shape to those previously deduced for the Galaxy. The similarity, in spite the differences in the physical parameters between the Galaxy and the SMC, suggests that the shape of the power spectra reflects some underlying mechanism which is ...

Coherent jets, such as the Jovian banded winds, are a prominent feature of rotating turbulence. Shallowwater turbulence models capture the essential mechanism of jet formation, which is systematic eddy momentum flux directed up the mean velocity gradient. Understanding how this systematic eddy flux convergence is maintained and how the mean zonal flow and the eddy field mutually adjust to produ...
