The rear flank downdraft can arise owing to negative buoyancy, which can be generated by cold anomalies produced at the rear of the supercell thunderstorm by evaporative cooling of precipitation or hail melting, or injection of dry and cooler air in the cloud, and by vertical perturbation pressure gradients that can arise from vertical gradients of vertical vorticity, stagnation of ...
Flank pain refers to discomfort in your upper abdomen or back and sides. It develops in the area below the ribs and above the pelvis. Usually, the pain is worse on one side of your body.
Because the word “flank” usually refers to the “side” of something, and because the earliest sailing warships had all their cannons facing either port or starboard, and even later WWI and WWII ships had the most firepower turned 90 degrees to the target, with nothing official to base this on, I always thought/assumed that ”flank speed” originally meant absolute maximum speed in ...
where is the Boltzmann constant, is the Planck constant, and is the speed of light in the medium, whether material or vacuum. [9] [10] [11] The spectral radiance of a body, , describes the amount of energy it emits at different radiation frequencies. It is the power emitted per unit area of the body, per unit solid angle of emission, per unit ...
Heermann steamed into the action at flank speed through the formation of "baby flattops" through smoke and intermittent rain squalls that had reduced visibility at times to less than 100 yd (91 m), twice having to back emergency full to avoid collisions with friendly ships, first with Samuel B. Roberts and then at 07:49 with Hoel, as she tried ...
