Plume shapes can be influenced by flow in the ambient fluid (for example, if local wind blowing in the same direction as the plume results in a co-flowing jet). This usually causes a plume which has initially been 'buoyancy-dominated' to become 'momentum-dominated' (this transition is usually predicted by a dimensionless number called the ...
The Amazon River plume is an example of a river plume in which the Earth's rotation does not play a role. Due to the high discharge, the corresponding momentum of the outflow, and the equatorial latitude, the dynamics of the plume are mainly characterized by the internal Froude number. Ambient currents transport the plume away from the mouth.
Fluid dynamics has a wide range of applications, including calculating forces and moments on aircraft, determining the mass flow rate of petroleum through pipelines, predicting weather patterns, understanding nebulae in interstellar space and modelling fission weapon detonation. Below is a structured list of topics in fluid dynamics.
Plume (fluid dynamics), a column consisting of one fluid moving through another fluid; Eruption plume, a column of volcanic ash and gas emitted into the atmosphere during an eruption; Mantle plume, an upwelling of hot rock within the Earth's mantle that can cause volcanic hotspots; Moisture plume, an alternative name for an atmospheric river, a ...
A river plume embedded into a ROFI reproduce a continuous process of transformation of freshwater discharge. Initially, river discharge enters the shelf sea from a river mouth and forms a sub-mesoscale (with spatial extents ~1-10 km) or mesoscale (with spatial extents ~10-100 km) water mass referred to as a river plume.
Drought conditions have gripped nearly the entire country, with only one state spared as a bone-dry autumn left most states parched. In November, Kentucky became the 49th state to cross into ...
Plume spread at the ground due to gravity is also simulated by a method (Anfossi et al., 2009), based on Eidsvik (1980). STACKS (The Netherlands) – A Gaussian plume dispersion model for point and area buoyant plumes to be used over flat terrain on a local scale. It includes building effects, NO 2 chemistry and plume depletion by deposition ...
Tiger Woods could not offer much of a timetable Tuesday on PGA Tour negotiations with the Saudi backers of LIV Golf or his own future as a player. Woods is the tournament host of the Hero World ...
