The ideal-gas equation, which is empirical, describes the behavior of gases by establishing relationships between their macroscopic properties. For example, Charles’ law states that volume and temperature are directly related. Gases, therefore, expand when heated at constant pressure. Although gas laws explain how the macroscopic properties change relative to one another, it does not explain the rationale behind it.

Local Attraction01:22

Local Attraction

Local attraction refers to disturbances in compass readings caused by magnetic influences from nearby objects such as metal fences, buried pipes, vehicles, buildings, power lines, or natural iron ore deposits. Small items like wristwatches, steel tools, or belt buckles can also interfere with the compass by creating local magnetic fields that distort the Earth's natural magnetic field. These distortions lead to inaccurate readings, posing navigation and land surveying challenges.Local...

Local Anesthetics: Pharmacokinetics

1.2K
The potency and duration of action of local anesthetics (LAs) are determined by their pharmacokinetics. Pharmacokinetics describes how LAs are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated from the body. When administered to the vascular tissues, LAs are quickly absorbed and enter the systemic circulation, reducing their localized effects. Adding vasoconstrictors such as epinephrine to LAs reduces their absorption into the systemic circulation, making them clinically effective. The...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Turbulent pair diffusion is not purely local. New research reveals both local and non-local processes govern diffusion, challenging prior assumptions and introducing new scaling laws for turbulent flows.

Area of Science:

  • Fluid Dynamics
  • Turbulence Theory
  • Statistical Mechanics

Background:

  • Richardson's 1926 dataset on turbulent pair diffusion suggested a locality scaling law.
  • Previous theories assumed pair diffusion was primarily a local phenomenon within the inertial subrange.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To re-examine the foundations of turbulent pair diffusion theory.
  • To investigate the scaling laws governing pair diffusion coefficients.
  • To develop a new theoretical framework incorporating both local and non-local processes.

Main Methods:

  • Re-appraisal of Richardson's 1926 dataset.
  • Development of a new theory for turbulent pair diffusion.
  • Analysis within the context of generalized energy spectra E(k) ~ k^-p (1 < p <= 3).
  • Mathematical approach using Fourier integral decomposition.

Main Results:

  • Unequivocal evidence of non-local scaling for the pair diffusion coefficient, contradicting previous locality assumptions.
  • Identification of two non-Richardson regimes based on inertial subrange size: non-local scaling for asymptotically infinite subranges and local scaling for finite subranges.
  • Prediction of intermediate scaling exponents (gamma) between purely local and non-local limits.

Conclusions:

  • Turbulent pair diffusion is governed by a combination of local and non-local diffusional processes within the inertial subrange.
  • The size of the inertial subrange dictates whether local or non-local scaling laws dominate.
  • A novel mathematical framework provides a more comprehensive understanding of turbulent pair diffusion.
