These are due to small perturbations in the thermal boundary layers being swept into the plumes by thelarge-scaleflow.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In computing the response function, we want to capture the deformation of the fluid eddies while excluding the simple advection due to alarge-scaleflow.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Another feature of lakes, fjords and coastal oceans is they are rarely quiescent; rather there is generally some background shear due to alarge-scaleflow.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The next step in analysinglarge-scaleflowis to show that it is hydrostatic.
From theCambridge English Corpus
However, this assumption is inappropriate forlarge-scaleflow.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The agreement of the force coefficients and thelarge-scaleflowpatterns is surprisingly good.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The open wake and the shear layer are matched with the corresponding small regions in thelarge-scaleflow.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The needle does not affect thelarge-scaleflowof the bubble.
From theCambridge English Corpus
We chose a ramp deflection angle of = 18 as a compromise between being able to capture desiredlarge-scaleflowfeatures, such as mean-flow separation, and the limited computational resources.
From theCambridge English Corpus

From
Wikipedia
Since there was nolarge-scaleflow, they conclude that the differences in the track represent changes in the vortex motion caused by changes in the microphysics.
From
Wikipedia
This elongation along one defined direction is attributed to an additional symmetry of large-scale flows compared with the randomly distributed small-scale fluctuations.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Recall that large-scale flows are one hypothesized source of the velocity boundary layer that is believed to be responsible for the 2/7 scaling.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The loop-back of large-scale flows on the microturbulence is elucidated and the modulation of the electron drift mode turbulence spectrum in a medium with slowly varying parameters is presented.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The wave kinetic equation in the presence of large-scale flows is derived and it can be seen that the small-scale turbulence and the large-scale structures form a self-regulating system.
From theCambridge English Corpus
During the last decade, special emphasis has been given on analytical and numerical investigations of the properties of the large-scale flows that are generated by the drift-type turbulence.
