Tiny eddies of smoke escaped from the edges of the bark, then succumb to the heat of the flames. |
|
The inside of a cloud is full of turbulence that creates many swirling eddies of air. |
|
The centers of anticyclonic, warm-core ocean eddies typically are zones of downwelling and therefore are nutrient-deficient. |
|
The official state fish of Texas, Guadalupes tend to hang in moving water, often in eddies or seams right in what looks to be the fastest sections of rapids. |
|
His simulations show that large cyclonic eddies occasionally form in the northern portions of the Gulf and block the northward intrusion of the Loop Current. |
|
Optionally the flue gas recirculation duct has a plate member extending into the primary air chamber to create flow eddies to enhance further mixing of flue gas and air. |

A street cleaner already cleans the main thoroughfares but wind eddies can blow drifts of crisp packets and chocolate wrappers into alleys and hedges, he said. |
|
Seeing the eerie slicks and eddies of the water racing through at seven knots while a lonely cormorant beats its way up the sound is almost sinisterly memorable. |
|
|
I depart as air ... I shake my locks at the runaway sun, I effuse my flesh in eddies and drift it in lacy jags. |
|
Although the exhibition follows a basic chronological trajectory, the linear flow of history is frequently interrupted by reverse flows and eddies. |
|
Half an hour after surfacing, you will witness the might of the tidal stream, and the current will form eddies where you had previously been diving in calm water. |
|
Simultaneously, small whirlpools called eddies form on both sides of the boat near the stern, which surge and press against the boat on each side. |
|
It's thought that the overall rotation of these galaxies combines and smooths out the small-scale magnetic fields created by whirls and eddies of gas. |
|
Oceanic eddies are also usually made of water masses that are different from those outside the eddy. |
|
The smallest scale eddies may last for a matter of seconds, while the larger features may persist for months to years. |
|
In the subsonic case the noise is produced by eddies and in the supersonic case by Mach waves. |
|
Mesoscale ocean eddies are characterized by currents which flow in a roughly circular motion around the center of the eddy. |
|
Because eddies may have a vigorous circulation associated with them, they are of concern to naval and commercial operations at sea. |
|
This retroflection results in intense eddy activities such as meanders, eddies, and filaments. |

The ULSW eddies erode rapidly as they mix laterally with this warmer saltier water. |
|
|
Mesoscale ocean eddies play crucial rolls in transferring heat poleward, as well as maintaining heat gradients at different depths. |

Further, because eddies transport anomalously warm or cold water as they move, they have an important influence on heat transport in certain parts of the ocean. |
|
The depth of the trench, along with density differences between Norwegian current water and the adjacent Atlantic Water, also result in large scale eddies. |
