We compare our results with previously proposed scaling laws for the transition betweensaltationand suspension.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Whensaltationstarts, a slight departure from the previous log profile is found.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This should be a good test of the existence ofsaltation.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Subsequently,saltationbegins when particles move vertically into the air by a distance of the order of their diameter.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Contemporary models of evolutionary biology simply do not allow for these kinds of rapid evolutionary saltations, certainly not within the time frame dictated.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Withoutsaltation, momentum is transported by the turbulence from the wind to the bed surface.
From theCambridge English Corpus
An alternative explanation is that the fluctuating component of surface pressure may have an influence on thesaltationrate.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Thence, using the image analysis system on the microcomputer,saltationtrajectory statistics, such as ejection and impact velocities, were calculated.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The effects of particle density on thesaltationtrajectory could not be studied here independently of the more significant effects of friction velocity and particle size.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Even so, within thesaltationregime, there are interesting variations in the statistics of the particle motion according to the size, type and distribution of particles.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In fact the explanation may be that there is a transition fromsaltationto suspension when u /ut > 1.5.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Bagnold (1941) also identified four distinct subprocesses in the sandsaltationsystem: aerodynamic entrainment, the grain trajectory, the grain/bed collision and wind modification.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Note that in more dilute flows, such as in a powder cloud or asaltationlayer, other segregation mechanisms dominate and the direction of segregation may reverse.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Anderson (1989) describedsaltationin terms of an analogy with a biological population.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Knight instead favors a model that leads to an abruptsaltationfrom ' protolanguage ' to the sudden appearance of full human linguistic ability.
From theCambridge English Corpus
There is, in fact, already the very fullest con-saltationand collaboration at every stage.
