Earth's rotation forms the general circulation of the atmosphere [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
The general circulation of the atmosphere determines the long-term variability of weather processes. This circulation is driven by the temperature differences between the poles and the equator, causing air to move along the Earth's surface. However, this requires enhanced pressure at the poles, which is not observed.

Climate dynamics and fluid mechanics: Natural variability and related uncertainties

open access: yes, 2010
The purpose of this review-and-research paper is twofold: (i) to review the role played in climate dynamics by fluid-dynamical models; and (ii) to contribute to the understanding and reduction of the uncertainties in future climate-change projections. To

The burden of intracranial atherosclerosis on cerebral small vessel disease: A community cohort study

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Exploring the prevalence and association between intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS) and cerebral small vessel diseases (CSVD), this study delved beyond the current scope, utilising high‐resolution vessel wall MRI (HRVW‐MRI) to investigate how subtle changes in intracranial atherosclerotic features influence the various burdens of ...

Modelling single ventricle physiology: Review of engineering tools to study first stage palliation of hypoplastic left heart syndrome

open access: yesFrontiers in Pediatrics, 2013
First stage palliation of hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), i.e. the Norwood operation, results in a complex physiological arrangement, involving different shunting options (modified Blalock-Taussig, RV-PA conduit, central shunt from the ascending ...

An estimate of the circulation generated by a bluff body [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2006
A loss in circulation is sometimes cited in connection with bluff-body wakes as a result of comparing the circulation actually observed downstream with a well-known theoretical estimate of the total circulation generated by a cylinder. In an effort to better understand this reported loss in circulation, an alternative estimate of the circulation ...

A New Mechanism for Generation of Langmuir Circulations [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
A new mechanism has been identified that explains the generation of Langmuir circulations. A wind-driven current in the presence of surface waves gives rise to an instability where the emerging circulations redistribute the turbulence in the cross-wind direction. The non-uniform eddy-viscosity locally changes the rate of momentum transfer from the wind

The Dynamics of a Rigid Body in Potential Flow with Circulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We consider the motion of a two-dimensional body of arbitrary shape in a planar irrotational, incompressible fluid with a given amount of circulation around the body.

Universal Proteomic Signature After Exercise‐Induced Muscle Injury in Muscular Dystrophies

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Several neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) are characterized by progressive muscle damage and are marked by the elevation of circulating muscle proteins from activity‐related injury. Despite a diverse array of genetic drivers, many NMDs share similar patterns of exercise intolerance and higher concentrations of muscle injury proteins ...

The physical oceanography of the transport of floating marine debris

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2020
Marine plastic debris floating on the ocean surface is a major environmental problem. However, its distribution in the ocean is poorly mapped, and most of the plastic waste estimated to have entered the ocean from land is unaccounted for.

Embedding of a Blade-Element Analytical Model into the SHYFEM Marine Circulation Code to Predict the Performance of Cross-Flow Turbines

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
Our aim was to embed a 2D analytical model of a cross-flow tidal turbine inside the open-source SHYFEM marine circulation code. Other studies on the environmental impact of Tidal Energy Converters use marine circulation codes with simplified approaches ...
