“…By measuring the Thorpe scale, we posit that the CVS side surface-bound naturally buoyant particles were likely to experience eddies capable of submerging them up to a depth of 14.2 m with no such processes on the WHS side. The higher TKED on the vertical stratification side (or CVS side) has implications on the air-sea gas fluxes velocity, K g ∼ 1/4 [45] and it is essential for the oil industry [46] due to higher turbulence enhancing the biodegradation of oil [47]. As fronts are common over the global ocean, the observed asymmetric response of the turbulence and their considerable variations across the front should be considered in the ocean-atmosphere climate system.…”

The interaction of cold-vertically stratified (CVS) Mississippi River water with warm-horizontally stratified (WHS) Gulf of Mexico water resulted in a front that affected the oceanic surface layer. Our cross-frontal observations demonstrated two vertical layers. The cross-frontal deep layer (9–30 m) averaged a temperature dissipation rate (TD) varied by a factor of 1000 and was larger on the CVS side. The near-surface layer (0–9 m) averaged TD did not vary significantly across the front. The deep layer frontal asymmetry coincided with depths where the Thorpe scale was large. The situation was similar for the layer averaged turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate (TKED). Within both layers, the averaged-TKED values were 10–30 times larger on the CVS side. The surface turbulent heat flux was up to 4 times larger on the WHS side. The observed asymmetric response of the turbulence across the front could play a significant role in the ocean-atmosphere climate system.

In the case of modeling an existing facility, an analysis of its technological scheme and technological mode for the historical period allows us to determine the basic laws of the facility's operation, adapt the model taking into account the hydrogasdynamic characteristics of equipment and pipelines, and more accurately predict the future behavior of the system in terms of possible changes [5][6][7][8][9].…”

The article is devoted to the study of methods for modeling the operation of rectification columns using the HYSIS application software package. Such studies are very important not only for design, but also for the functioning of existing industries. The article proposes to use for combining nozzle devices in the concentration part of the column, and plate-shaped structures in the distant part of the column for more efficient and stable operation of distillation columns. To determine the hydrodynamic parameters of the operation of distillation column, a technique of determining the range of stable loads and the position of the operating point inside or outside the range of stable loads was taken. A column model was constructed using the HYSYS software package for separating gas mixtures with various contact devices: sieve trays, Rashig ring nozzles. Experiments for the same type and combined contact devices were carried out and their comparison was carried out in terms of hydraulic calculation and operating range. As a result of experiments with the use of the HYSYS software package, it was shown that the combined arrangement of contact devices can provide a stable hydraulic mode, in contrast to the use of similar contact devices.
