Drift wave instability in the Helimak experiment
TL;DR: In this paper, an electrostatic drift wave linear stability analysis is carried out for the Helimak configuration and compared against experimental data. But the experimental results with the wave characteristic of linear two-fluid theory, this mode is identified as an unstable resistive drift wave driven by the density gradient and magnetic grad-B/curvature present in an otherwise magnetohydrodynamic stable steady-state equilibrium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unusually loud ambient noise in tidewater glacier fjords: A signal of ice melt
Erin C. Pettit,Kevin M. Lee,Joel Palmer Brann,Jeffrey A. Nystuen,Preston S. Wilson,Shad O'Neel +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors characterize fjord ambient noise and show that the average noise levels are louder than nearly all measured natural oceanic environments (significantly louder than sea ice and nonglacierized fjords).
Journal ArticleDOI
Sound propagation in water containing large tethered spherical encapsulated gas bubbles with resonance frequencies in the 50 Hz to 100 Hz range.
Kevin M. Lee,Kevin T. Hinojosa,Mark S. Wochner,Theodore F. Argo,Preston S. Wilson,Richard Mercier +5 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that large tethered encapsulated bubbles could be used to mitigate low frequency underwater noise and that the Commander and Prosperetti model would be useful in the design of such a system.
Journal ArticleDOI
In Situ Measurements of Compressional Wave Speed During Gravity Coring Operations in the New England Mud Patch
Megan S. Ballard,Kevin M. Lee,Andrew R. McNeese,Preston S. Wilson,Jason D. Chaytor,John A. Goff,Allen H. Reed +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the acoustic coring system (ACS) was used to measure sediment sound-speed profiles using two sets of transducers mounted below the penetrating tip of a sediment corer to make in situ measurements of geoacoustic properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Velocity Shear with Turbulence Reduction Driven by Biasing in a Simple Cylindrical Slab Plasma
TL;DR: In an experimental realization of the sheared cylindrical slab, the level of plasma turbulence is strongly reduced by application of a sufficient bias potential difference in the radial direction.
