Examples of buoyancy

buoyancy
This gradient, established and maintained by the surface buoyancy flux through the process of turbulent convection, is what draws fluid in from the external reservoir.
At a certain depth, the heaters are turned on, and the robot ascends due to its now positive buoyancy, resulting from its reduced density.
The results obtained by using that formula were compared with the total static buoyancy force exerted on the caudal fluid column.
The function of lipids within the intramolluscan stages is speculative and suggested functions are buoyancy, energy reserves, metabolic waste products, and others.
The detached amphibolitized oceanic crust may then return to shallow depths as a result of its positive buoyancy against the denser surrounding mantle.
The magnetic mechanism predominates over the buoyancy mechanism in fluid layers about 1 mm thick.
It also shows the hot fluid moving around the circumference of the cylinder under the influence of the non-axial component of buoyancy force.
This will no longer hold if buoyancy effects are sufficiently strong to create a gravity tongue, such as in the reference flow discussed above.
This may be followed by a (previously investigated) purely inertial phase, wherein the buoyancy force of the intruding fluid is balanced by the inertial force.
Lithospheric buoyancy and collisional orogenesis: subduction of oceanic plateaus, continental margins, island arcs, spreading ridges, and seamounts.
However, in both numerical and laboratory experiments, the phenomenon of buoyancy spreading due to localized baroclinic vortices is clearly observed.
The fluid will be accelerated by buoyancy forces alone and balancedessentially by viscous shear forces.
The buoyancy falls essentially to zero at a height of 704m and goes negative at a height of about 1400.
In the foregoing equations for two-layer flows with surface buoyancy flux, it is equation (14) which governs the dynamics of the system.
