81Oxbow lake — Songhua River, northeast China. Swirls and curves, showing paths the river once took, as well as oxbow lakes, are easily seen in this satellite photo. An oxbow lake is a U shaped body of water formed when a wide meander from the main stem of a… …
82Asymptotic analysis — This article is about the comparison of functions as inputs approach infinite. For asymptotes in geometry, see asymptotic curve. In mathematical analysis, asymptotic analysis is a method of describing limiting behavior. The methodology has… …
83Plug flow — In fluid mechanics, Plug Flow is a simple model of the velocity profile of a fluid flowing in a pipe. In plug flow, the velocity of the fluid is assumed to be constant across any cross section of the pipe perpendicular to the axis of the pipe.… …
84Basset force — Unsteady forces due to acceleration of the relative velocity of a body submerged in a fluid can be divided into two parts: the virtual mass effect and the Basset force.The Basset force term describes the force due to the lagging boundary layer… …
85Profileur de vents — de 915 MHz aux États Unis d Amérique (la boîte centrale), entouré des haut parleurs du RASS Un Profileur de vents est un type de radar monté verticalement utilisé en météorologie pour mesurer la direction et la vitesse des vents. Un tel appareil… …
86List of atmospheric dispersion models — Atmospheric dispersion models are computer programs that use mathematical algorithms to simulate how pollutants in the ambient atmosphere disperse and, in some cases, how they react in the atmosphere. Contents 1 U.S. Environmental Protection… …
87Marine snow — Underway recovery of a sediment trap used to collect marine snow and estimate export production In the deep ocean, marine snow is a continuous shower of mostly organic detritus falling from the upper layers of the water column. It is a… …
88Penman-Monteith — Like the Penman equation, the Penman Monteith equation requires daily mean temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, and solar radiation to predict net evapotranspiration. Other than radiation, these parameter are implicit in the derivation of… …
89Hydrology — Water covers 70% of the Earth s surface. Hydrology is the study of the movement, distribution, and quality of water on Earth and other planets, including the hydrologic cycle, water resources and environmental watershed sustainability. A… …
90Circulation (fluid dynamics) — In fluid dynamics, circulation is the line integral around a closed curve of the fluid velocity. Circulation is normally denoted . If is the fluid velocity on a small element of a defined curve, and is a vector representing the differential… …
