Sentences with phrase «very small eddies»

Not exact matches

Much larger eddies have been observed using satellites, but small cyclones have been very rarely measured, the researchers will report in an upcoming issue of Geophysical Research Letters.

Right now, climate models have to approximate many physical processes that turn out to be very important; air flowing over mountain ranges, for example, or small eddies mixing water in the ocean.

Of course the theory is valid if the assumptions of isotropy and homogeneity at small scales are valid and that demands for high Reynolds (fully developped turbulence) and intuitively we can indeed visualise that a very turbulent flow will have plenty of small eddies everywhere.

Well he realised that the energy dissipation was happening at very small scales where all the small eddies looked very similar.

The predictions may match the observations for a while, but very soon random fluctuations smaller than the distance between the measurements (they are called «sub-grid-scale eddies» in the vernacular of numerical modellers) grow in size and — as far as the model is concerned — appear out of nowhere and swamp the eddies we thought we knew something about.

The two - day FAMOS workshop will include sessions on 2017 sea ice highlights and sea ice / ocean predictions, reports of working groups conducting collaborative projects, large - scale arctic climate modeling (ice - ocean, regional coupled, global coupled), small (eddies) and very small (mixing) processes and their representation and / or parameterization in models, and new hypotheses, data sets, intriguing findings, proposals for new experiments and plans for 2018 FAMOS special volume of publications.
