Coriolis mixing

In order to appreciate this point more clearly, we confine our attention to the contributions to 3Qff produced by perturbations from the spin-orbit coupling 3Q0 and the electronic Coriolis mixing 30-ot- If we represent an off-diagonal matrix element of the former by (L S) and the latter by (N L), we can describe some examples of these higher order terms, as shown in table 7.1. The third-rank terms appear only in states of quartet or higher multiplicity and the fourth-rank terms in states of quintet (or higher) multiplicity. With the important exception of transition metal compounds, the vast majority of electronic states encountered in practice have triplet multiplicity or lower. 

It should be noted that result given by equation (91) coincides with that calculated under the assumption that the orientation of atomic orbitals remains fixed during collision ( fixed-atom approximation ) [84, 87]. This is to be expected, because the strong Coriolis mixing of molecular functions in the rotating frame prevents rotation of orbitals in a space fixed frame. 

A deformed shell model has been elaborated also with the Saxon-Woods potential (see, e.g., Soloviev 1981). In the advanced versions of the theory, pairing correlations, octupole and hexadecapole deformations, and Coriolis mixing have also been included. 

The operator Tang contains the cross-terms that give rise to the Coriolis coupling that mixes states with different fl (the projection of the total angular momentum quantum number J onto the intermolecular axis). This term contains first derivative operators in y. On application of Eq. (22), these operators change the matrix elements over ring according to...

Several investigations concerned with the identification of these lines succeeded, for instance, in the case of H2O, in elucidating the rotational spectrum in excited vibrational states 356). Through comparison of wavelengths and intensities of many lines in H2O , H2 0 and DjO isotopic effects could be studied in these excited vibrational levels 357,358) Perturbations of rotational levels by Coriolis resonance which mixes different levels could be cleared up through the assignment and wavelength measurement of some DCN and HCN laser lines 359). 

We first look at the form of the calculations for the A -doubling parameters, p and q, which are a measure of the mixing of the 2 ft state with the 2 + and 2 S states brought about by the combined effects of spin-orbit coupling and Coriolis effects. Specifically we showed in chapter 8 the results [190] first obtained by Mulliken and Christy ... 

Because the approximation described by Eq. (3.47) fails if the inversion and vibrational wave functions are strongly mixed, the Coriolis operator defined by Eq. (5.8) cannot be treated by the numerical methods described in Sections 5.1 and 5.2. Instead of the perturbation treatment described in Section 5.1, we must use a variational approach in which the energy levels are calculated as eigenvalues of an energy matrix the off-diagonal elements of this matrix are the matrix elements of the Coriolis operator ) 2,4 ...

The turbulence in the surface mixed layer is associated with a vertical momentum flux, the Reynolds stress, which has a vertical gradient. An equilibrium can develop in the surface mixed layer when the vertical gradient of the Reynolds stress and the Coriolis force acting on the water parcels moving in the surface mixed layer balance each other. 

The angular basis functions have a well defined parity block functions with different K are mixed through the off-diagonal Coriolis interaction.

In today s industrial applications, Coriolis mass flowmeters are widely used by process engineers to monitor mass flow rate. This meter measures the Coriolis force that depends on the mass momentum of the flow, and, in principle, it can be applied to both single- and mixed-phase flows. Magnetic or optical detectors are generally used to detect mass-flow-related Coriolis acceleration. A brief description of the Coriolis flowmeter will be presented because it is widely used in industrial processes. 

The variables on which Fy and F, are assumed to depend are the friction velocity u, the Monin-Obukhov length L, the Coriolis parameter /, the mixed-layer depth zt, the convective velocity scale w, the surface roughness z.a, and the height of pollutant release above the ground h.s... 

It is conventional when referring to unstable conditions to represent the depth of the unstable, or mixed, layer by Zi From a mathematical point of view in terms of the equations for mean concentration, z is identical to H, the height of an elevated layer impermeable to diffusion. The Coriolis parameter is discussed in Chapter 21.
