Clearly, the turbulent cells are almost isotropic and not particularly elongated in theradialdirection.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Similarly, if stresses are more compressive in theradialdirection, with < 0, the radial movement of live cells is dominant.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Under the one-dimensional hypothesis, the electron only moves alongradialdirection, so it can only be absorbed by the anode.
From theCambridge English Corpus
If a homogeneous current density is achieved inside the channel, the magnetic field strength will rise linearly in aradialdirection.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Inside the swirling air, there exists a pressure gradient, leading to increasing air static pressure in the positiveradialdirection.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Since the flow is inhomogeneous in theradialdirection, radial spectra cannot be calculated.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The thickness within each ring varies linearly in theradialdirection.
From theCambridge English Corpus
We studied the variation of laser beam intensity with distance along the laser beam propagation direction andradialdirection.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Owing to this the temperature is uniform in theradialdirectionand has high gradients in the longitudinal direction.
From theCambridge English Corpus
However, it is clear from the other estimates of resolution discussed earlier that theradialdirectionis the best resolved.
From theCambridge English Corpus
All other modes oscillate in theradialdirection, and diffusion leads to their damping.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Therefore, if the target survives the deviatoric stresses generated by the pressure gradient inradialdirection, it will also survive those generated in longitudinal direction.
From theCambridge English Corpus
To determine the time dependence of theradialdirectionbias, the 500-ms stimulus interval was divided into ten nonoverlapping 50-ms subintervals.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The white channel indicates the presence of a positively charged region around the laser axis, where the electric field points outwards, along theradialdirection.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The radiated waves propagate in theradialdirectionand their amplitudes decay as r-f as r becomes large.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Entrainment towards the disk surface was prescribed by requiring the mass increment in theradialdirectionto be balanced with axial entrainment.
From theCambridge English Corpus
It is interesting to note that the velocity distribution along theradialdirectionfrom the turbulent model is smoother than that of the laminar one.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The temperature of the target material is increasing and therefore, a pressure gradient in theradialdirectionis induced.
