This ensures that thehorizontalvelocityfields stay smooth for smooth initial data.
From theCambridge English Corpus
We delineate vertical layers by the sign (+/-) of the meanhorizontalvelocitycomponent (u).
From theCambridge English Corpus
It is presumed that the leg linear velocity l does not contribute significantly to thehorizontalvelocityat liftoff.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The velocity field in the external ^ mode is thus approximately given by the mass-weighted vertical average of thehorizontalvelocityfield for the three-dimensional system.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Figure 6(a) shows the variation along the basin of the meanhorizontalvelocity(magnitude) u in the upper layer for experiments 1-4.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Thehorizontalvelocityis denoted by u(x, t) and ^ the temperature by (x, y, t).
From theCambridge English Corpus
He showed that there is a tensor shear dispersion coefficient involving the twohorizontalvelocitycomponents.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The height at which the maximum is found is the boundary between the convergence and divergence zones observed in thehorizontalvelocity.
From theCambridge English Corpus
On inflow, thehorizontalvelocityis specified; on outflow, the normal velocity component.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The relations among potential, elevation rate, andhorizontalvelocityare truncated at finite order, causing higher-order imperfections to appear in the equivalent expressions for incompressibility and irrotationality at the surface.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Thehorizontalvelocitycomponent decreases as a function of drag and its change typically remains small in comparison to the deceleration of the vertical velocity component.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Alternatively, the condition = 0 could be imposed at the inflow and outflow boundaries, which would correspond to setting thehorizontalvelocitycomponent equal to the nominal displacement velocity.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Thehorizontalvelocitycomponents u(x, y, t) and v (x, y, t) are mass-weighted vertical averages - - within the layer.
From theCambridge English Corpus
At a horizontal edge, the vanishing of thehorizontalvelocitycomponent u is ignored, since the effect of the non-slip condition becomes inappreciable at a short distance from the edge.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This variation inhorizontalvelocitycan induce a horizontal divergence that causes the elevation of the free surface at the top of the fluid to rise or fall.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Figures 5(a) and 5(b) show profiles of meanhorizontalvelocityand mean buoyancy, respectively, where only the upper half of the basin is shown.
