Controls on the spatial distribution of oceanic δ13CDIC [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We describe the design and evaluation of a large ensemble of coupled climate–carbon cycle simulations with the Earth system model of intermediate complexity GENIE.

Spatial and temporal patterns of the zooplankton in the Westerschelde estuary [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
The invertebrate zooplankton fauna of the Westerschelde (Belgium and The Netherlands) was investigated during 2 yr by means of monthly samples along a salinity gradient.

Salinity gradient power driven water electrolysis for hydrogen production

open access: yesChemical Engineering Transactions, 2017
The present work demonstrates an innovative system combining Reverse Electrodialysis (RED) and Alkaline Polymer Electrolyte Water Electrolysis (APEWE) for sustainable hydrogen production. The Salinity Gradient Power (SGP)-RED unit was tested with a thermally regenerative solution of NH4HCO3 in the concentration range of 0.15-1.5 M, whereas the water ...

The power of salinity gradients: An Australian example [PDF]

open access: yesRenewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2015
Abstract The development and exploitation of sustainable and environmentally friendly energy sources are required in order to resolve global energy shortages and to reduce the reliance of many countries on fossil fuel combustion. Salinity gradient energy has been considered a potential candidate for renewable energy due to the abundance of saline ...

On the understanding and feasibility of “Breakthrough” Osmosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Osmosis is the movement of solvent across a permselective membrane induced by a solute-concentration gradient. Now in ‘Forward Osmosis’ it is empirically observed that the diffusion of the solute is counter to that of the solvent i.e. there is so-called “

Nanopore-Based Power Generation from Salinity Gradient: Why It Is Not Viable [PDF]

open access: yesACS Nano, 2021
In recent years, the development of nanopore-based membranes has revitalized the prospect of harvesting salinity gradient (blue) energy. In this study, we systematically analyze the energetic performance of nanopore-based power generation (NPG) at various process scales, beginning with a single nanopore, followed by a multipore membrane coupon, and ...

On phoretic clustering of particles in turbulence

open access: yes, 2016
We demonstrate that diffusiophoretic, thermophoretic and chemotactic phenomena in turbulence lead to clustering of particles on multi-fractal sets that can be described using one single framework, valid when the particle size is much smaller than the ...

Two-Scalar Turbulent Rayleigh-Benard Convection: Numerical Simulations and Unifying Theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We conduct direct numerical simulations for turbulent Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard (RB) convection, driven simultaneously by two scalar components (say, temperature and salt concentration) with different molecular diffusivities, and measure the respective fluxes ...

Applying engineering feedback analysis tools to climate dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The application of feedback analysis tools from engineering control theory to problems in climate dynamics is discussed through two examples. First, the feedback coupling between the thermohaline circulation and wind-driven circulation in the North ...
