Mass wasting and the Coriolis effect on asteroid Vesta
This work investigates the influence of the Coriolis force on mass motion related to the Rheasilvia impact basin on asteroid (4) Vesta's southern hemisphere. The giant basin is 500km in diameter, with a centre which nearly coincides with the rotation axis of Vesta. The Rheasilvia basin partially …

Application of similarity theory to forecasting the mixed-layer depth of the ocean
… of two equations. Parameters used are wind, coriolis effect, the coefficient of thermal expansion and a measure of the excess heat within the mixed layer. The constants in the equations were determined using data from OWS Papa (50N, 145W). The forecast method treats both seasonal and …

Towards Improved Estimates of Upper Ocean Energetics
… balance of surface pressure gradients and the Coriolis effect. Ageostrophic currents, on the other hand, are difficult to calculate because they are made up of many types of currents, and are generally defined as any current not in geostrophic balance. The main component of ageostrophic …

The feasibility of micromachined dynamic resonant beam coriolis true mass flow meter
… sensing and flow measurement based on the Coriolis effect. Coriolis sensing is particularly attractive since, unlike most other methods which provide volumetric flow information, Coriolis sensing is capable of providing a direct, true mass flow measurement. Because of this advantage, …

Detailed Experimental Measurements of Heat Transfer Augmentation in Internal Channels Using a Thermochromic Liquid Crystal Technique
… low inside the dimples. In rotating channels, Coriolis Effect and centrifugal buoyancy significantly affect heat transfer distribution. There is a need to develop a cooling geometry that benefits from rotation and provides consistent cooling. A new geometry was derived from a past study, …

A High-Q Micromachined Quatrefoil Suspension Gyroscope
… led to improvements in the performances of Coriolis vibratory micromachined gyroscopes. Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) Coriolis vibratory gyroscopes (CVGs) are an increasingly popular choice for a wide range of applications thanks to their compact size, low power consumption, and low …
