Peace River SWIPS (Shallow Water Ice Profiling Sonar) data were analyzed to quantify the roles of frazil ice and riverbed anchor ice grown in situ during the initial buildup of a seasonal ice cover. Data were derived through quasi-continuous monitori

A review of axial flow arcs which exhibit well defined varicose oscillations suggests that, although these have frequently been attributed to shear instabilities, their observed phase speeds are an order of magnitude less than those expected for shea

A numerical investigation of the flow of two immiscible stratified fluids under an isolated keel has been undertaken. The investigation utilized the two-dimensional Euler equations for incompressible flow, and the solution of these equations has been

Experimental evidence relating to the early phase of the spark ignition process is reviewed. This suggests that the evolution of the spark kernel after the initial shockwave formation is governed by well defined fluid mechanical structures. In the ca

The voltage–current characteristics of a boundary layer arc were measured over wide ranges of flow velocity (Ma 0.02–1.5) and current (10–100 A) by using three different experimental combinations. The arc is held in close contact with a solid s

The response characteristics of a family of conductivity cells typical of those employed in profiling instruments has been examined from a theoretical standpoint, and the conditions established under which such a cell exhibits a linear transfer funct

The dynamics and properties of a small jet of plasma produced by allowing a pulsed discharge to expand from a cylindrical cavity have been investigated. A model has been developed, which is based on the premise that the spark heats the gas within the

Experiments on arcs in an axial flow of nitrogen revealed that a vortex disturbance could be initiated at an upstream cathode of thoriated tungsten, accompanied by a sudden change in arc voltage, when the current exceeded a certain level. It is argue

Published measurements on arcs in orifice flows have been analysed, and it is shown that in spite of their large radiation losses, they have the scaling characteristics of a constant shape parameter model. The momentum balance of arcs confined in con

High-speed schlieren cinéphotography of the firing of a high-energy plasma-jet igniter reveal turbulent structures similar in appearance to laboratory models of thermals or turbulent puffs. Measurements of the growth rates of these features together
