Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with a pulmonary inflammatory response to inhaled substances, and individuals with COPD often have raised levels of several circulating inflammatory markers indicating the presence of systemic inflammation. Recently, there has been increasin...

This study expands the widely used one-dimensional, four-equation model for turbidity currents to account for mass, momentum, and energy sinks associated with flow stripping and overspill processes acting upon the turbidity current suspension cloud. The suspension cloud is defined as any portion of ...

This study simulates turbidity currents through a number of idealized channels using a steady, one-dimensional, depth-averaged model to determine if modeled flows starting from a wide range of initial conditions might reach an equilibrium state where clear-water entrainment balances fluid mass lost ...
