Based on this insight, Boreyko's lab designed small, lab-scale fog-harvesting "harps" with horizontal collection wires to simulate giant sequoia needles. This method resulted in a water harvest from fog three times greater than similar-sized systems using vertical wires. Drinkable Air Several compa...
Head over to theNew submenuof theLayermenu and choosethe Cameraoption. Proceed to theset the keyframes for the camera positionin order to simulate the camera movement. When donecreate a new solid, click on it and select theGradient Overlayoption from theLayer Styles menu. Change the color of...
During a thunderstorm, water droplets in the clouds collide with one another, releasing electrons in the process. The electrons are attracted to the earth, which is positively charged with respect to the clouds. They can't flow easily through air, however, because air is an electric insulator....
Full-size boats would be controlled by giantgimbalsin the pool during the shot. The camera needed to move quite a bit to simulate the rolling movement of another ship in order to match up with the virtual camera viewpoint used in the visual effects. The originally planned position of the c...
was chasing a tornado under a supercell thunderstorm through the colorado plains a few days ago when he spotted a second tornado growing out of the same system. even more surprising, one of them appeared to be rotating anticyclonically, or clockwise, a rare occurrence in the northern hemisphere...
, such that the cloud, laden with cold air, is slower to rise through the atmosphere. On the other hand, if the surrounding air is relatively humid, the cloud will be warmer as it evaporates and will rise more quickly, generating an updraft that could spin up into...
It is also evidenced by the relatively large spatial extent of the current waveforms required to simulate the sferics (Supplementary Fig. 3). The Phelps and Griffiths14 mechanism would also predict the positive breakdown to initiate retrogressively in altitude. This is seen in the upward ...
Supercomputers can take the massive amounts of data collected by a various set of sensor-laden devices — satellites, probes, robots and telescopes — and use it to simulate outer space conditions earthside. These machines can create artificial environments that match patches of the universe and,...

Did someone have experence to use fluent to simulate the roughness efforts? Thanks a lot. September 20, 2004, 09:54 Re: how to choose the roughness height #2 ruth Guest Posts: n/a I am currently running a thunderstorm model using fluent and also faces the same problem. Please give some...
