(physics) an effect whereby a body moving in a rotating frame of reference experiences the Coriolis force acting perpendicular to the direction of motion and to the axis of rotation; on Earth the Coriolis effect deflects moving bodies to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in...
Definition Basin-scale periodic waves propagating on a thermocline or other subsurface density interface. Introduction The complex hydrodynamic processes in lakes mainly result from a competition between surface heat flux and wind stress... D Bouffard,L Boegman - Springer Netherlands 被引量: 7发表: ...
The Coriolis effect has great significance in astrophysics and stellardynamics, in which it is a controlling factor in the directions of rotation ofsunspots. It is also significant in theearth sciences, especiallymeteorology,physical geology, andoceanography, in that Earth is a rotating frame of refe...
This may be interpreted from the definition of solutal Rayleigh number that the value of solutal Rayleigh number directly depends upon the difference between concentration at upper and lower plates. Hence, the difference between concentrations plays a role in determining the system’s stability; ...
Gaspard-Gustave de Coriolis was a French engineer and mathematician who first described the Coriolis force, an effect of motion on a rotating body, of paramount importance to meteorology, ballistics, and oceanography. An assistant professor of analysis a
