Balance, gravity waves and jets in turbulent shallow water flows [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This thesis contains a thorough investigation of the properties of freely decaying turbulence in a rotating shallow water layer on a sphere. A large number of simulations, covering an extensive range of Froude and Rossby numbers, have been carried out ...

Climatic thresholds and temporal decoupling drive reproductive phenology in Neotropical cloud forests: a 36‐year analysis

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Reproductive phenology influences ecosystem functioning and climate sensitivity in tropical montane cloud forests, but phase‑specific climatic thresholds and the temporal coupling between flowering and fruiting remain poorly quantified over decadal scales. We analyzed a 36‑year monthly record (1983–2018) from a Venezuelan cloud forest (15 focal species)

Lignocellulosic Triboelectric Materials for Energy Harvesting and Emerging Applications: A Review on Lignin‐Molecular Engineering toward Improved Performance

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Contrasting sustainable biomass with depleting petroleum resources, this review charts the evolutionary timeline of lignin‐based TENGs. We systematically evaluate their fundamental mechanisms, enhancement strategies, and applications in green self‐powered electronics.

Environmental Statecraft, Fragmented Authoritarianism, and Technocratic Governance: The Structure and Agency of China's Local Environmental Politics

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Local environmental politics in China is often said to be dominated by state‐controlled modes of multi‐level governance. However, top‐down governance is embedded within and transformed by local politics, adding complexity to governance practices and environmental outcomes.

Thermal Effects of Acoustic-gravity Waves in Titan’s Upper Atmosphere and Their Implications for Atmospheric Jeans Escape

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Early observations from the Cassini spacecraft revealed the presence of acoustic-gravity waves in Titan’s upper atmosphere. However, the impacts of wave modes with different temporal and spatial scales on the thermal structure and atmospheric escape have

The propagation of mountain waves into the stratosphere: Quantitative evaluation of three-dimensional simulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
On 6 January 1992 measurements of a mountain wave with significant amplitude were taken over the southern tip of Greenland during an ER-2 flight at an altitude of about 20 km.

Glazing Effects on Dynamic‐Insulation TSC Façades: A CFD‐Supported Experimental Study of Flow, Heat Transfer, and Ventilation Preheating

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Glazed transpired solar collectors achieve 48–75% efficiency and 11% more seasonal heat than unglazed designs by cutting convective losses, while both offer complementary benefits for ventilation preheating and dynamic wall insulation, with paybacks of 5.5–6.8 years.

Acoustic-gravity waves in a viscous and thermally conducting isothermal atmosphere

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1995
In this paper we will investigate the effect of Newtonian cooling on the propagation of acoustic-gravity waves in a viscous and thermally conducting isothermal atmosphere for large Prandtl number and for an arbitrary values of Newtonian cooling ...

A Comprehensive Review of Fault‐Current Limiter Technologies for Smart and Resilient Power Systems

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This review compares superconducting, solid‐state, and hybrid fault‐current limiters (FCLs) for modern alternating current, direct current, and hybrid grids. It shows that optimal FCL selection depends on fault characteristics, network configuration, voltage level, protection coordination, and resilience requirements rather than on a universally ...

Scattering of gravity-capillary waves on a bottom step [PDF]

open access: yes
Under the linear approximation, we study the scattering of gravity-capillary waves on a bottom step. The boundary conditions can be satisfied by considering a countable number of evanescent modes that are localized near the bottom step.
