Passive scalar transport mediated by laminar vortex rings
(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2017)
Numerical simulations were used to study the dynamics of a passive conservedscalar quantity entrained by a self-propelling viscous vortex ring. The trans-port and mixing process of the passive scalar variable were studied ...

Using smart card and GPS data for policy and planning: The case of Transantiago
(Elsevier, 2016-11)
The introduction in 2007 of a new public transport system in Santiago, Chile, brought to us an unexpected gift: the availability of Big Data; massive amounts of passive data obtained from technological devices installed ...
A multi-scale model for fluid transport through a bio-inspired passive valve
Tillandsia landbeckii is a rootless plant thriving in the hyper-arid Atacama Desert of Chile. These plants use unique cellulose-based microscopic structures called trichomes to collect fresh water from coastal fog. The ...
Influence of Time and Frequency of Passive Smoking Exposure on Mucociliary Clearance and the Autonomic Nervous System
(Daedalus Enterprises Inc, 2016-04-01)
BACKGROUND: There are still gaps in the knowledge regarding the damage to mucociliary and autonomous systems from passive exposure to cigarette smoke. Also, the influence of the frequency and duration of exposure on these ...
Effective diffusivity of passive scalars in rotating turbulence
(Amer Physical Soc, 2013-02-25)
We use direct numerical simulations to compute turbulent transport
coefficients for passive scalars in turbulent rotating flows. Effective
diffusion coefficients in the directions parallel and perpendicular to
the ...
