The Plasmasphere Boundary Layer [PDF]
Abstract. As an inner magnetospheric phenomenon the plasmapause region is of interest for a number of reasons, one being the occurrence there of geophysically important interactions between the plasmas of the hot plasma sheet and of the cool plasmasphere.

Superfluid Boundary Layer [PDF]
We model the superfluid flow of liquid helium over the rough surface of a wire (used to experimentally generate turbulence) profiled by atomic force microscopy. Numerical simulations of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation reveal that the sharpest features in the surface induce vortex nucleation both intrinsically (due to the raised local fluid velocity) and ...

Viscoplastic boundary layers [PDF]
In the limit of a large yield stress, or equivalently at the initiation of motion, viscoplastic flows can develop narrow boundary layers that provide either surfaces of failure between rigid plugs, the lubrication between a plugged flow and a wall or buffers for regions of predominantly plastic deformation. Oldroyd (Proc. Camb. Phil. Soc., vol.

Characteristics and sources of submicron aerosols above the urban canopy (260 m) in Beijing, China, during the 2014 APEC summit [PDF]
The megacity of Beijing has experienced frequent severe fine particle pollution during the last decade. Although the sources and formation mechanisms of aerosol particles have been extensively investigated on the basis of ground measurements, real-time ...

Assessing biogeochemical effects and best management practice for a wheat–maize cropping system using the DNDC model [PDF]
Contemporary agriculture is shifting from a single-goal to a multi-goal strategy, which in turn requires choosing best management practice (BMP) based on an assessment of the biogeochemical effects of management alternatives.

Evaluation of Ozone Formation Potential of Formaldehyde Using Smog Chamber Data
Formaldehyde (HCHO) is one of the important O3 precursors in the atmospheric environment, but the mechanism for HCHO photochemical reactions is not very clear now. In the present study, the effects of relative humidity (RH) and initial VOC/NOx ratio (RCN)

Wind and boundary layers in Rayleigh-Benard convection. Part 2: boundary layer character and scaling [PDF]
The effect of the wind of Rayleigh-Benard convection on the boundary layers is studied by direct numerical simulation of an L/H=4 aspect-ratio domain with periodic side boundary conditions for Ra={10^5, 10^6, 10^7} and Pr=1.
