Forest Evapotranspiration and Energy Flux Partitioning Based on Eddy Covariance Methods in an Arid Desert Region of Northwest China by Xiaohong Ma, Qi Feng, Yonghong Su, Tengfei Yu, Hua Jin

“…In this study, the characteristics of energy flux partitioning and evapotranspiration of P. euphratica forests were examined in the extreme arid region of Northwest China. Energy balance closure of the ecosystem was approximately 72% (H + LE = 0.72 ∗ (Rn-G)+7.72, r2=0.79, n=12095), where Rn is the net radiation, G is the soil heat flux, H is the sensible heat flux, and LE is the latent heat flux. …”

The Computation of Flow and Heat Transfer through an Orthogonally Rotating Square-Ended U-Bend Using Low-Reynolds-Number Models by Konstantinos-Stephen P. Nikas, Hector Iacovides

“…Two-layer and low-Reynolds-number mathematical models of turbulence are used at effective-viscosity (EVM) level and also at second-moment-closure (DSM) level. Moreover, two length-scale correction terms to the dissipation rate of turbulence are used with the low-Re models, the original Yap term, and a differential form that does not require the wall distance (NYap). …”
