Planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) is a non-intrusive technique for measuring scalar
concentrations in fluid flows. A fluorescent dye is used as a scalar proxy, and local …

New tests and older ideas are explored to understand the origin of the pronounced contrast
in lightning between land and sea. The behavior of islands as miniature continents with …

Entrainment of ambient fluid into both two-dimensional and axisymmetric gravity currents is
investigated experimentally using a novel neutralization technique. The technique involves …

This paper is the second in a two-part series in which life cycles of six numerically simulated
shallow cumulus clouds are systematically examined. The six clouds, selected from a single …

In supercell environments, previous authors have shown strong connections between the
vertical wind shear magnitude, updraft width, and entrainment. Based on these results, it is …

The distinction between entrainment and dilution is investigated with cloud-resolving
simulations of deep convection in a tropical environment. A method for estimating the rate of …

Air motions in the thermals contained within shallow Florida cumulus clouds were observed
to be similar to the circulation observed in laboratory thermals. There was outward flow in …
