Surface width

This equation describes not only the crystal growth, but with an additional noise term it also describes the evolution of the surface width and is called the Edward-Wilkinson model. An even better treatment has been performed by renormalization methods and other techniques [44,51-53].

The models are compared with experimental data by comparison of theoretically and experimentally determined statistical properties of the surface width. The premise is that the surface width obeys a scaling relation,...

The exponents ft and a are the growth and scaling exponents respectively. In both the EW and LG models, the surface width saturates, and the roughening is stable.

The question that we need to ask ourselves is whether the longitudinal dispersion can be predicted accurately for these rivers. Equation (6.35), which predicts that >l/(m+/i) = constant, is shown in Table 6.4 to have a large range of constants, probably because of the variations in cross section and morphology seen in natural streams. Fisher (1973) observed that this constant seemed to depend on mean surface width, W, and substituted W for h in the numerator of equation (6.34) to develop the following empirical equation to characterize longitudinal dispersion coefficient in rivers ... 

When increasing temperature (T > 2 K), so introducing thermal disorder, the structure broadens rapidly. For each bulk reflectivity spectrum at a given temperature T, determining the radiative surface width by (3.26), we looked for the value of rle(T) allowing the best reproduction of the experimental spectrum. The various values obtained for re(T) vs T are plotted in Fig. (3.13) and compared with the width of the bulk exciton obtained by KK analysis (in Section II.C.3).70127...

Here we defined the surface shift and the surface width as the real and imaginary parts of fe /m)y/ 2ZY, respectively. In the absence of the surface, the resonance condition is attained for (o = (Oq. On the surface, the resonance condition is approximately... 

The dynamic scaling theory [38] considers the development of a rough surface on a flat ID surface of size L at time t = 0 (Fig. 15). It is assumed that the growth of the rough surface takes place in a well defined direction so that the instantaneous surface height can be described by the function h x t). The surface width in the z-direction, (T,t), taken as a measure of the surface roughness, is defined by the root mean square of the height fluctuations,... 

Adhesion of Particles of Various Sizes. As already noted, when particles are moving in a stream, secondary precipitation and adhesion of these particles are quite possible. This will occur, for example, in the event that the water flow velocity is dripping off continuously. Studies on the precipitation and adhesion of particles for movement of a stream along an inclined surface have been reported in [291 ]. The dust-covered section was located on the upper part of this surface. Then, over a period of 1 sec, water was fed to the surface at a flow rate of 0.12 or 0.18 Uter/sec, corresponding to respective linear liquid loads of 1 and 1.5 kg of water per meter of surface width per second.
