On the M\"uller paradox for thermal-incompressible media [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In his monograph Thermodynamics, I. M\"uller proves that for incompressible media the volume does not change with the temperature. This M\"uller paradox yields an incompatibility between experimental evidence and the entropy principle.

Suggestions for unifying the parametrizations of turbulent orographic form drag, mountain wave drag, and flow blocking

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
A theory for the interaction between a boundary layer and a low mountain is used to provide estimates of the turbulent orographic form drag, upward‐propagating mountain gravity‐wave drag, and trapped lee‐wave drag (case shown in the figure). After reviewing briefly how these processes are represented in weather and climate models, we propose a ...

Scattering Of Internal Waves By Vertical Barrier In A Channel Of Stratified Fluid

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 2015
The problem of two dimensional internal wave scattering by a vertical barrier in the form of a submerged plate, or a thin wall with a gap in an exponentially stratified fluid of uniform finite depth bounded by a rigid plane at the top, is considered in ...

Semiconvection: numerical simulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A grid of numerical simulations of double-diffusive convection is presented for the astrophysical case where viscosity (Prandtl number Pr) and solute diffusivity (Lewis number Le) are much smaller than the thermal diffusivity.

Integrating simultaneous interfacial shear rheology with neutron reflectometry for structural and dynamic analysis of fluid interfacial systems

open access: yesJournal of Applied Crystallography, EarlyView.
We present a new setup at the FIGARO horizontal neutron reflectometer enabling simultaneous measurement of the structural and mechanical properties of liquid interfaces, combining neutron reflectometry with interfacial shear rheology.The study of the structure and mechanical properties of complex fluid interfaces has attracted growing interest in ...

The Liquid Film Flow with Evaporation: Numerical Modelling

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2016
The flow of thin liquid layer on an inclined substrate is investigated numerically. The mathematical modelling is based on the Oberbeck-Boussinesq equations and the generalized conditions on the thermocapillary boundary simplified during the parametrical

Free Convection and Irreversibility Analysis inside a Circular Porous Enclosure

open access: yesEntropy, 2003
We investigate the nature of heat transfer and entropy generation for natural convection in a two-dimensional circular section enclosure. The enclosure is assumed to fill with porous media.

Quasi-geostrophic approximation of anelastic convection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The onset of convection in a rotating cylindrical annulus with parallel ends filled with a compressible fluid is studied in the anelastic approximation. Thermal Rossby waves propagating in the azimuthal direction are found as solutions.

Oscillatory convection and limitations of the Boussinesq approximation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2016
We determine the asymptotic conditions under which the Boussinesq approximation is valid for oscillatory convection in a rapidly rotating fluid. In the astrophysically relevant parameter regime of small Prandtl number, we show that the Boussinesq prediction for the onset of convection is valid only under much more restrictive conditions than those that

Layered Radial Aquifer Model for Open‐Pit Mine Closure with Managed Aquifer Recharge

open access: yesGroundwater, EarlyView.
A radially symmetric layered aquifer model (unconfined–aquitard–confined) coupled to a pit‐lake water balance is developed to screen managed aquifer recharge (MAR) after open‐pit mine closure. Dimensionless type curves quantify trade‐offs between pit recovery time, pumping/recycling, and unconfined mounding as functions of aquifer time scales, aquitard
