Trapezia lutea Castro 1997
No full textTrapezia lutea Castro, 1997 * (Fig. 4B) Material examined. 1 male (12.6 x 10.8 mm) (DABFUK), Bitra, 13 May 2015. Remarks. Trapezia lutea is superficially similar to Trapezia cymodoce (Herbst, 1801) and many old records of the latter species will need to be checked (see Castro 1997). Both species have a wide Indo-West Pacific distribution and can occur together in the same reef. Trapezia lutea is recorded for the first time from India.Published as part of Devi, S.

Large-eddy simulation of dispersion from surface sources in arrays of obstacles
No full textTowards meeting the objective of simulating heat transfer processes in urban areas, the study of dispersion from a scalar (ground) surface area source has been addressed as a first step, as dispersion from such a source is in some ways analogous to heat transfer from the surface. Two different urban-like geometries are considered in this study: an array with uniform height cubes and an array with random height cuboids. Some point measurement dispersion experiments in a wind tunnel have previously been carried out in identical arrays using a naphthalene sublimation technique. Large-eddy simulations (LES) of these experiments have been performed as a validation study and the details, presented here, demonstrate the influence of the roughness morphology on the dispersion processes and the power of LES for obtaining physically important scalar turbulent flux information

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Channel flow over large cube roughness: a direct numerical simulation study
No full textComputations of channel flow with rough walls comprising staggered arrays of cubes having various plan area densities are presented and discussed. The cube height h is12.5% of the channel half-depth and Reynolds numbers (u? h/?) are typically around 700 – well into the fully rough regime. A direct numerical simulation technique, usingan immersed boundary method for the obstacles, was employed with typically 35 million cells. It is shown that the surface drag is predominantly form drag, which is greatest at an area coverage around 15%. The height variation of the axial pressure force across the obstacles weakens significantly as the area coverage decreases, but is always largest near the top of the obstacles. Mean flow velocity and pressure data allow precise determination of the zero-plane displacement (defined as the height at which the axial surface drag force acts) and this leads to noticeably better fits to the log-law region than can be obtained by using the zero-plane displacementmerely as a fitting parameter. There are consequent implications for the value ofvon K´arm´ an’s constant. As the effective roughness of the surface increases, it is also shown that there are significant changes to the structure of the turbulencefield around the bottom boundary of the inertial sublayer. In distinct contrast to twodimensional roughness (longitudinal or transverse bars), increasing the area density of this three-dimensional roughness leads to a monotonic decrease in normalized vertical stress around the top of the roughness elements. Normalized turbulence stresses in the outer part of the flows are nonetheless very similar to those in smooth-wallflows
Large-eddy simulation for flow and dispersion in urban streets
No full textLarge-eddy simulations (LES) with our recently developed inflow approach (Xie &Castro, 2008a) have been used for flow and dispersion within a genuine city area -the DAPPLE site, located at the intersection of Marylebone Rd and Gloucester Plin Central London. Numerical results up to second-order statistics are reported fora computational domain of 1.2km (streamwise) x 0.8km (lateral) x 0.2km (in fullscale), with a resolution down to approximately one meter in space and one secondin time. They are in reasonable agreement with the experimental data. Such a comprehensiveurban geometry is often, as here, composed of staggered, aligned, squarearrays of blocks with non-uniform height and non-uniform base, street canyons andintersections. Both the integrative and local effect of flow and dispersion to thesegeometrical patterns were investigated. For example, it was found that the peaksof spatially averaged urms, vrms, wrms and < u0w0 > occurred neither at the meanheight nor at the maximum height, but at the height of large and tall buildings. Itwas also found that the mean and fluctuating concentrations in the near-source fieldis highly dependent on the source location and the local geometry pattern, whereasin the far field (e.g. >0.1km) they are not. In summary, it is demonstrated thatfull-scale resolution of around one meter is sufficient to yield accurate prediction ofthe flow and mean dispersion characteristics and to provide reasonable estimationof concentration fluctuation
