We experimentally study gravity-capillary wave turbulence on the interface between two immiscible fluids of close density with free upper surface. We locally measure the wave height at the interface between both fluids by means of a highly sensitive laser Doppler vibrometer. We show that the inertial range of the capillary wave turbulence regime is significantly extended when the upper fluid de...

Nowadays, spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has become a powerful tool for providing significant wave height. Traditionally, validation of SAR derived ocean wave height has been carried out against buoy measurements or model outputs, which only yield a inter-comparison, but not an ‘absolute’ validation. In this study, the triple collocation error model has been introduced in the validat...

Ureteral peristaltic mechanism facilitates urine transport from the kidney to the bladder. Numerical analysis of the peristaltic flow in the ureter aims to further our understanding of the reflux phenomenon and other ureteral abnormalities. Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) plays an important role in accuracy of this approach and the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) formulation is a strong m...

Wave-induced oscillations of submerged horizontal plates are studied by conducting laboratory experiments and developing theoretical computational models. These models include a linear solver based on the Green-function method, nonlinear model Green–Naghdi wave equations, fluid dynamics. The plate oscillates in vertical direction due to oscillatory loads. Oscillations controlled use spring-damp...

We examined changes in P wave height in lead 2 of an ECG obtained during progressive exercise in 23 patients with COPD, and measured both P wave changes and pulmonary hemodynamics during exercise at a constant workload corresponding to approximately 50 to 60 percent of VO2 max in nine patients. The P wave response to exercise (delta P/delta VO2, %/ml/min), estimated by the relationship between ...
