Momentum thickness — In aeronautics and viscous fluid theory, the boundary layer thickness ({delta}) is the distance from a fixed boundary wall where zero flow is considered to occur, and beyond {delta} the fluid is considered to move at a constant velocity. This… … Wikipedia
Flux footprint — (aka atmospheric flux footprint, footprint) is an upwind area where the atmospheric flux measured by an instrument is generated. Specifically, the term flux footprint describes an upwind area “seen” by the instruments measuring vertical turbulent … Wikipedia
Convective momentum transport — in the atmosphere it is an exchange of momentum usually due to vertical motion associated with clouds. The essential processes responsible for cloud convective momentum transport in tropics are: (i) the vertical momentum advection due to… … Wikipedia
Cnoidal wave — US Army bombers flying over near periodic swell in shallow water, close to the Panama coast (1933). The sharp crests and very flat troughs are characteristic for cnoidal waves. In fluid dynamics, a cnoidal wave is a nonlinear and exact periodic… … Wikipedia
Plume (hydrodynamics) — In hydrodynamics, a plume is a column of one fluid moving through another. Several effects control the motion of the fluid, including momentum, buoyancy and density difference. When momentum effects are more important than density differences and … Wikipedia
