Normal Mode Wave-Vortex Decompositions of Mesoscale Simulations
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-18)The kinetic energy spectrum of the atmosphere has been well observed to exhibit a k^(-3) power law at synoptic scales with a transition to a shallower k^(-5/3) power law at the mesoscale. To better understand the mesoscale ... -
A Study of the Structure and Dynamics of Smectic 8CB Under Mesoscale Confinement
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-29)The structure and dynamics of the smectic-A liquid crystal 8CB (4 cyano-4 octylbiphenyl) when sheared and confined to mesoscale gaps (with crossed cylindrical geometry and mica confining surfaces) were studied using a ...
