Mixed Convection on Inclined Surfaces

Journal of Heat Transfer, 1979
An analysis is performed to study the effects of buoyancy force on the heat transfer characteristics of laminar forced convection flow over an inclined flat surface which is either maintained at a uniform temperature or subjected to a uniform heat flux.

Ring formation on an inclined surface

Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2015
A drop dried on a solid surface will typically leave a narrow band of solute deposited along the contact line. Here we examine variations of this deposit due to the inclination of the substrate using numerical simulations of a two-dimensional drop, equivalent to a strip-like drop.

Solar Radiation on Inclined Surfaces

Nature, 1965
IT is interesting to compare Dr. H. Heywood's proposed presentation of solar radiation data1 with a method developed at this Station2. This method makes the simplifying assumption that the diffuse sky radiation is uniformly distributed, except in the vicinity of the Sun where the radiance is known to be higher.

Flame spread on inclined surfaces

Fire Safety Journal, 1992
Abstract Experiments have been carried out to investigate the effect of slope on the rate of upward spread of flame over a combustible solid. There is a clear difference between the mechanisms of spread for thin and thick fuels. With the latter, a change in mechanisms is found to occur at an inclination of 15–20°.

Ballistic deposition onto inclined surfaces

Physical Review A, 1988
Simulations of ballistic deposition onto an inclined surface (deposition at non-normal incidence) have been carried out using two-dimensional lattice and off-lattice models and three-dimensional off-lattice models. For most of these models the relationship between the angle of incidence (\ensuremath{\theta}) and the angle of growth (\ensuremath{\varphi}

Monkey locomotion on inclined surfaces

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1969
AbstractMotion pictures were taken of a subadult, female squirrel monkey moving on level and inclined surfaces. The gaits for the various degrees of incline were compared. The noncontact periods were not affected by changes in inclination. The contact periods, which were inversely related to speed, were affected, by changes in slope and intersect ...

Postural after-effects of stepping on an inclined surface

Neuroscience Letters, 2007
In previous studies, blindfolded, healthy subjects exhibited an after-effect of leaning while standing on a horizontal surface after a period of standing on an inclined surface. We investigated whether this kinesthetic after-effect would transfer from one task to another by asking blindfolded subjects to stand on a horizontal surface after stepping-in ...

Adaptation of postural orientation to changes in surface inclination

Experimental Brain Research, 2006
We previously showed that standing on an inclined surface resulted in an after-effect of leaning in many healthy, blindfolded subjects when they returned to standing on a horizontal surface (Kluzik et al. in Exp Brain Res 162:474-489, 2005). The direction of leaning depended on the direction of prior surface inclination, always in a direction that ...

Solar radiation on inclined surfaces

Solar Energy, 1990
Measured solar radiation data for one location in Lesotho is used to test the applicability of two theoretical models for computing total solar radiation on inclined surfaces. The models selected for discussion are the isotropic model suggested by Liu and Jordan and the anisotropic model by Hay.

Relative shear disparities and the perception of surface inclination

Vision Research, 1994
A dichoptic display in which the images are cyclorotated in opposite directions does not appear inclined. This suggests that perceived inclination depends on the difference between horizontal-shear and vertical-shear disparity. Large random-dot stereoscopic displays were presented with various types of shear disparity.
