Fractures are diverse geological features. Despite extensive research on their varied geometries and growth mechanisms, there has been relatively little focus on how acid-rock interactions, such as reactive transport and precipitation, influence crack grow ...
The smallest flying insects often have bristled wings resembling feathers or combs. We combined experiments and three-dimensional numerical simulations to investigate the trade-off between wing weight and drag generation. In experiments of bristled strips, ...
Snow slab avalanches release after the failure and collapse of a weak layer buried below a cohesive snow slab. The initial failure is induced by local overloading of the slab, such that the passage of a skier. This results in the propagation of a subsidenc ...
The impact of the parallel flow shear on the tokamak plasma stability and turbulent transport driven by the ion temperature gradient (ITG) modes is analyzed by means of local gyrokinetic numerical analyses. It is shown that the parallel flow shear increase ...
Steep streams involve shallow, supercritical turbulent flows over a permeable bed made up of coarse particles. They usually exhibit higher flow resistance and stronger mass and momentum exchanges between the stream and subsurface flow than low-gradient str ...
