In this work, we present from first principles a direct numerical simulation (DNS) of fully turbulent channel flow dilute polymer solution. The chains are modeled as finitely extensible and elastic dumbbells. algorithm is based on semi-implicit, time-splitting technique which uses spectral approximations in the spatial coordinates. computations carried out CRAY T3D parallel computer. simulations under conditions albeit, due to computational constraints, not at high Reynolds number that...
${\ensuremath{\Lambda}}^{0}$ polarization has been observed in $p+\mathrm{Be}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}^{0}+\mathrm{anything}$ at 300 GeV. A total of 1.2 \ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{} ${10}^{6}$ decays were recorded fixed lab angles between 0 and 9.5 mrad, covering a range kinematic variables $0.3<~x<~0.7$ $0<~{p}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}<~1.5$ GeV/c.

The production and event topology of three-jet events produced in p¯p collisions at √s=1.8 TeV have been studied with the Collider Detector Fermilab Tevatron Collider. distributions angular variables (ψ∗ cosθ∗) describing energy sharing between jets (x3 x4) are found to agree well tree-level QCD calculations. These predicted different shapes for initial-state subprocesses (quark-antiquark, quark-gluon, gluon-gluon). data consistent small expected contribution from quark-antiquark initial...
An immersed boundary technique is used to model a riblet covered surface on one wall of channel bounding fully developed turbulent flow. The conjecture that the beneficial drag reduction effect riblets result damping cross-flow velocity fluctuations then examined. This possibility has been discussed by others but unverified. explicitly modelled applying force field in elongated streamwise zones with height and spacing corresponding crests. same trends are observed turbulence profiles above...

The structure of turbulence near a free surface is examined by using results obtained from direct simulation flow between no-slip wall and shear boundary, which serves as model waveless surface. An energy balance analysis shows that the pressure-strain term dominant producing for spanwise component turbulent kinetic energy. In addition, dissipation rates horizontal components are reduced surface, whereas rate vertical remains approximately constant. Two-point correlations, spectra, length...

Empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis has been widely used in meteorology and oceanography to extract dominant modes of behavior scalar vector datasets. For two-dimensional fields, such as surface winds or currents, use the complex EOF method become widespread. In present paper, this is compared with a real-vector that apparently previously unused for current wind fields meteorology. It shown these two methods differ primarily respect concept optimal representation. Further, can...
