Turbulence enhancement in body force opposed flows
Turbulence may be strongly influenced by near-wall nonuniform body forces. A widely encountered example is buoyancy acting in mixed convection flows. Here we use direct numerical simulations to present two key ideas: First we show that introducing opposing body forces whilst maintaining the pressure gradient does not cause key turbulence characteristics to change. It follows that the concept of “apparent Reynolds number” introduced by He et al. [J. Fluid Mech.
Genetic determinants of micronucleus formation in vivo - Nature
Abstract Genomic instability arising from defective responses to DNA damage1 or mitotic chromosomal imbalances2 can lead to the sequestration of DNA in aberrant extranuclear structures called micronuclei (MN).
