In fluid dynamics, an eddy is the swirling of a fluid and the reverse current created when the fluid is in a turbulent flow regime. [2] The moving fluid creates a space devoid of downstream-flowing fluid on the downstream side of the object.
Eddy permitting and eddy resolving models are used to examine the effect of eddy saturation and eddy compensation in the ACC. In these models resolution is of great importance. Ocean observations do not have a high enough resolution to fully estimate the degree of eddy saturation and eddy compensation.
Eddy viscosity based closures cannot account for the return to isotropy of turbulence, [15] observed in decaying turbulent flows. Eddy-viscosity based models cannot replicate the behaviour of turbulent flows in the Rapid Distortion limit, [ 16 ] where the turbulent flow essentially behaves like an elastic medium.
In fluid dynamics, eddy diffusion, eddy dispersion, or turbulent diffusion is a process by which fluid substances mix together due to eddy motion. These eddies can vary widely in size, from subtropical ocean gyres down to the small Kolmogorov microscales , and occur as a result of turbulence (or turbulent flow).
Through such mechanism eddy pumping generates upwelling of cold, nutrient rich deep waters in cyclonic eddies and downwelling of warm, nutrient poor, surface water in anticyclonic eddies. Conceptual description of the effect on the pycnocline and the vertical transport, as an anticyclonic eddy intensifies and destructs.
The eddy covariance (also known as eddy correlation and eddy flux) is a key atmospheric measurement technique to measure and calculate vertical turbulent fluxes within atmospheric boundary layers. The method analyses high-frequency wind and scalar atmospheric data series, gas, energy, and momentum, [ 1 ] which yields values of fluxes of these ...

Cause of skin effect. A main current I flowing through a conductor induces a magnetic field H.If the current increases, as in this figure, the resulting increase in H induces separate, circulating eddy currents I W which partially cancel the current flow in the center and reinforce it near the skin.
