The transient cavity dynamics during water entry of a heavy, non-rotating sphere impacting rotating pool liquid is studied experimentally, numerically, and theoretically. We show that the rotation advances transition type - from deep seal to surface marked by reduction in transitional Froude number. role dimensionless rotational number $\mathcal{S} \equiv \omega R_0/U_0$ on unveiled, where $R_0...

This paper studies a bidisperse granular mixture consisting of two species of stainless steel spheres in a vertically vibrated compartmentalized container. The experiments show that with proper vibration acceleration, the granular clock stops when horizontal segregation of the large spheres residing in the far end from the barrier wall occurs. When the segregation is broken, the granular clock ...

Convection driven by thermal buoyancy in rotating spherical bodies of fluid has long been recognized as a fundamental process in the understanding of the properties of planets and stars. Since these objects are rotating in general and since their evolution is associated with the transport of heat from their interiors convection influenced by the Coriolis force does indeed play a dominant role i...

PURPOSE To compare measurements of eccentric fixation using two different targets for fixation, a traditional visuoscope target and the streak target of an ophthalmoscope. PATIENTS AND METHODS Monocular fixation was evaluated using visuoscopy in 47 patients ranging in age from 4 months to 22 years. Visuoscopy measurements were compared using both the traditional visuoscope target and the stre...

The gravitational couplings of intrinsic spin are briefly reviewed. A consequence of the Dirac equation in the exterior gravitational field of a rotating mass is considered in detail, namely, the difference in the energy of a spin12 particle polarized vertically up and down near the surface of a rotating body is h̄Ω sin θ. Here θ is the latitude and Ω = 2GJ/(cR), where J and R are, respectively,...
