This paper describes a quasi-3D Bayesian inversion of oceanographic tracer data from the South Atlantic Ocean. Initially, one active neutral-density layer is considered with an upper and lower boundary. The available hydrographic data are linked to model parameters (water velocities, diffusion coefficients) via a 3D advection–diffusion equation. A robust solution to the inverse problem can be o...

Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of colony pigmentation, irradiance, and flow on the temperature microenvironment that corals experience in shallow water. The warming of colony surfaces increased with increasing colony pigmentation (darker surfaces) and at high irradiance but was alleviated by higher water flow. Dark colonies were up to 1.58C warmer than ambient seawater at h...

Flow separation at water intake is the main cause of head loss and flow discharge reduction. &#10As a result, study of shape and size of separation is very essential when designing an optimum water intake. Water intake is normally built with a 90 degree angle to the main channel flow direction. However, the flow structure in this type of water intake consists of large separation size along wit...

In this work, the feasibility of flow pattern and oil hold up the prediction for vertical upward oil–water two–phase flow using pressure fluctuation signals was experimentally investigated. Water and diesel fuel were selected as immiscible liquids. Oil hold up was measured by Quick Closing Valve (QCV) technique, and five flow patterns were identified using high-speed photo...

Measurements of air–water flow properties are reasonably simple in steady flows, but not so in unsteady flows. Some studies investigated periodic flows in which instantaneous data were averaged over several cycles. During the present work, new unsteady air–water flow measurements were performed in sudden open channel flow surges. Unsteady air–water flow measurements were performed in the wave f...

The hypertonicity of interstitial fluids of renal medulla and papilla, present during antidiuresis, is reduced during water diuresis. This is the result of a decrease in the absolute amount of sodium in the medulla and papilla as well as dilution by an increase in the tissue content of water."2 It is not clear whether the decrease in tissue content of sodium which accompanies water diuresis is ...

Debris flow material properties change during the initiation, transportation and deposition processes, which influences the runout characteristics of the debris flow. A quasithree-dimensional depth-integrated numerical model, EDDA (Erosion–Deposition Debris flow Analysis), is presented in this paper to simulate debris flow erosion, deposition and induced material property changes. The model con...
