Field observations were performed to explore the variation of large-scale structure inclination angles in the high Reynolds number atmospheric surface layer (ASL). The high Reynolds number flow measurements [Reτ ∼ Ο (106)] were acquired at the Qingtu Lake observation array site. The structure inclination angles inferred from two-point correlations of the fluctuating streamwise velocity were obtained for different friction velocities in the neutral regime and different thermal stability conditions. Results indicate that, in addition to the Monin− Obukhov stability parameter, the structure inclination angle varies systematically with the friction velocity in the neutral surface layer. An empirical model is proposed to parametrize the variation of the inclination angle with the normalized friction velocity. The empirical formula agrees well with both the current ASL results and the previously documented results. Further analysis suggests that the inclination angle is dominated by the vertical velocity gradient (vertical wind shear) for both neutral and non-neutral regimes. The present work contributes to a better understanding of the inclination angle for the large-scale structures and may be used to improve the existing wall-models in the large-eddy simulation of the ASL.
The coupling effects of axial pre-stress, temperature and magnetic field on magnetostrictive strain and magnetization as well as Young's modulus of a Terfenol-D (Tb0.3Dy0.7Fe1.93) rod are tested to give a good understanding of magneto-thermal-mecha-nical characteristics of giant magnetostrictive materials. Results show that magneto-thermo-mechanical coupling of giant magnetostrictive materials is very strong; and the influences of pre-stress and temperature on magnetostrictive strain and Young's modulus vary with the intensity of magnetic field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
