In the souree region, the seafloor lifts to a designated height by a generation function. The numerical tests show that the linear theory is only valid for estimating the wave behaviors induced by the seafloor movements with a small amplitude, and the fully nonlinear numerical model should be adopted in the simulation of the wave generation by the large amplitude seafloor movements. Without the background surface waves, many numerical tests on the stable maximum elevations η0^max are carried out by beth the linear theory and the fully nonlinear model. The results of two models are compared and analyzed. For the fully nonlinear model, the influences of the amplitudes and the horizontal lengths on η^max are stronger than that of the characteristic duration times. Furthermore, results reveal that there are significant differences be- tween the linear theory and the fully nonlinear model. When the influences of the background surface waves are considered, the corresponding numerical analyses reveal that with the fully nonlinear model the η0^max near-linearly varies with the wave amplitudes of the surface waves, and the η0^max has significant dependences on the wave lengths and the wave phases of the surface waves. In addition, the differences between the linear theory and the fully nonlinear model are still obvious, and these differences are significantly affected by the wave parameters of the background surface waves, such as the wave amplitude, the wave length and the wave phase.展开更多

In this paper, through comparison of different boundary layers in wave and steady flow conditions, a new criterion is presented which can be used to predict the threshold of sediment movement Linder wave action. The criterion curve shows good agreement with the experimental data.展开更多

Simulated pharmacokinetic data points from patients on efavirenz are used. The one dimensional wave equation is used to infer on transfer of vibrations due to tension between solution particles. The work investigates movement using wave analogy, but in a different variable space. Two important movement fluxes of a wave are derived an attracting one identified as tension conductivity and a dispersing one identified as tension diffusivity. The Wave Equation can be used to describe another spin-off movement flux formed induced by vibrations in solution particle.展开更多

A series of physical model experiments were conducted in a wave flume to investigate sandbar migration under various wave conditions, including wave groups, regular waves, and random waves. It was observed that under certain wave conditions sandbars move alternately shoreward and seaward rather than continuously in the same direction. The measurements show that the unstable movement of sandbars is closely related to the amplitude modulation of waves. Smaller amplitude modulation tends to produce more intense unstable bar movements. Data analysis further shows that the sandbar migration does not seem to be a passive response of the sea bed to wave forcing, but is most likely caused by the feedback interaction between waves and bed topography.展开更多

Therefore, the research on the basic problem of sediment movement by the bed shear stress is an important way to research the theory of sediment movement. However, there is not a measuring and computing method to measure the bed shear stress under a complicated dynamic effect like wave and current. This paper describes the measurement and test research on the bed shear stress in a long launder of direct current by the new instrument named thermal shearometer based on micro-nanotechnology. As shown by the research results, the thermal shearometer has a high response frequency and strong stability. The measured results can reflect the basic change of the bed shear stress under wave and wave-current effect, and confirm that the method of measuring bed shear stress under wave-current effect with thermal shearometer is feasible. Meanwhile, a preliminary method to compute the shear stress compounded by wave-current is put forward according to the tested and measured results, and then a reference for further study on the basic theory of sediment movement under a complicated dynamic effect is provided.展开更多

Coupling this equation with two-dimensional shallow water equations and wave reflection-diffraction equation of mild slope, a two-dimensional coupling model is established and a validation is carried out by observed hydrogeology, tides,waves and sediment. The numerical results are compared with available observations. Satisfactory agreements are achieved. This coupling model is then applied to the Dongfang 1-1 Gas Field area to quantitatively predict the movement and evolution of submarine sand ridges and sand waves. As a result, it is found that the sand ridges and sand waves movement distance increases year by year, but the development trend is stable.展开更多

An attempt has been made to explain the role of cilia motion in the transport of fluid through the ductus efferent of the male reproductive tract. The Ostwald-de Waele power-law viscous fluid is considered to represent the rheological fluid. We analyze pumping by means of a sequence of cilia beats from rowto-row of cilia in a given row of cells and from one row of cells to the next(metachronal wave movement). For this purpose, we consider the conditions that the corresponding Reynolds number is small enough for inertial effects to be negligible, and the wavelengthto-diameter ratio is large enough so that the pressure can be considered uniform over the cross section. Analyses and computations of the fluid motion reveal that the time-average flow rate depends on ε, a non-dimensional measure involving the mean radius a of the tube and the cilia length. Thus, the flow rate significantly varies with the cilia length.Moreover, the flow rate has been reported to be close to the estimated value 6 × 10ml/h for human efferent ducts if ε is near 0.4. The estimated value was suggested by Lardner and Shack(Lardner, T. J. and Shack, W. J. Cilia transport. Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 34, 325–335(1972)) for human based on the experimental observations of flow rates in efferent ducts of other animals, e.g., rat, ram, and bull. In addition, the nature of the rheological fluid, i.e., the value of the fluid index n strongly influences various flow-governed characteristics. An interesting feature of this paper is that the pumping improves the thickening behavior for small values of ε or in free pumping(?P = 0) and pumping(?P > 0) regions.展开更多

In order to reflect wave energy loss accurately, the Bretchneider-Reid formula is quoted and the friction coefficient in the formula is discussed in this paper. The calculation results indicate that the wave becomes a little damped at the mouth of Kemena River influenced by the topography and bottom friction, and the wave at the east beach is higher than that at the west beach, because the east beach extends out.展开更多
