Deposits of clastic carbonate-dominated (calciclastic) sedimentary slope systems in the rock record have been identified mostly as linearly-consistent carbonate apron deposits, even though most ancient clastic carbonate slope deposits fit the submarine fan systems better. Calciclastic submarine fans are consequently rarely described and are poorly understood. Subsequently, very little is known especially in mud-dominated calciclastic submarine fan systems. Presented in this study are a sedimentological core and petrographic characterisation of samples from eleven boreholes from the Lower Carboniferous of Bowland Basin (Northwest England) that reveals a >250 m thick calciturbidite complex deposited in a calciclastic submarine fan setting. Seven facies are recognised from core and thin section characterisation and are grouped into three carbonate turbidite sequences. They include: 1) Calciturbidites, comprising mostly of highto low-density, wavy-laminated bioclast-rich facies; 2) low-density densite mudstones which are characterised by planar laminated and unlaminated muddominated facies; and 3) Calcidebrites which are muddy or hyper-concentrated debrisflow deposits occurring as poorly-sorted, chaotic, mud-supported floatstones.

Publisher Summary This chapter presents a discussion on jet impingement heat transfer. The chapter describes the applications and physics of the flow and heat transfer phenomena, available empirical correlations and values they predict, and numerical simulation techniques and results of impinging jet devices for heat transfer. The relative strengths and drawbacks of the Reynolds stress model, algebraic stress models, shear stress transport, and v 2 f turbulence models for impinging jet flow and heat transfer are compared in the chapter. The chapter provides select model equations as well as quantitative assessments of model errors and judgments of model suitability. The review of recent impinging jet research publications identified a series of engineering research tasks that are important for improving the design and resulting performance of impinging jets: (1) clearly resolve the physical mechanisms by which multiple peaks occur in the transfer coefficient profiles, and clarify which mechanism(s) dominate in various geometries and Reynolds number regimes, (2) develop a turbulence model, and associated wall treatment if necessary, that reliably and efficiently provides time-averaged transfer coefficients, (3) develop alternate nozzle and installation geometries that provide higher efficiency, meaning improved Nu profiles at either a set flow or set blower power, and (4) further explore the effects of jet interference in jet array geometries, both experimentally and numerically. This includes improved design of exit pathways for spent flow in array installations.

Jet Impingement Heat Transfer: Physics, Correlations, and Numerical Modeling

Results are presented that illustrate the effect of augmenting or opposing thermal and solutal body forces on the flow, temperature and concentration distributions. For augmenting buoyancy forces, the flow field is very similar to that for a single-component fluid. Multicellular flow patterns are observed for opposing buoyancy forces that depend on the buoyancy parameter. The solutal buoyancy force does not dominate the flow field for all values of opposing body forces, because the solutal gradient is vertical. The concentration gradient affects the natural convection through both the additional buoyancy force and the thermophysical properties of the gas mixture.

Rigorous definitions are presented of local as well as overall specular components of thermal reflectance. Approximations are then made to reduce the definitions to a workable form from which the overall specular component of reflectance can be calculated. Some illustrative results are also given which examine the influence of various parameters.
