    On the convergence rates for the three-dimensional filtered Boussinesq equations

    No full text
    In this paper we consider a LES model for the approximation of large scales of the 3D Boussinesq equations. We analyze the convergence rate, in appropriate norms, of the unique regular weak solution of the regularized Boussinesq equations towards a weak solution of the original Boussinesq system

    On the Well-Posedness of the Boussinesq Equations with Anisotropic Filter for Turbulent Flows

    Full text link
    We consider approximate deconvolution models for the Boussinesq equations, based on suitable anisotropic filters. We discuss existence and well-posedness of the solutions, with particular emphasis on the role of the energy (of the model) balance

    Exponential Attractors for the 3D Fractional-order Bardina Turbulence Model With Memory and Horizontal Filtering

    No full text
    We consider the 3D simplified Bardina turbulence model with horizontal filtering, fractional dissipation, and the presence of a memory term incorporating hereditary effects. We analyze the regularity properties and the dissipative nature of the considered system and, in our main result, we show the existence of a global exponential attractor in a suitable phase space

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
