\citet{turner1957} proposed that dry thermals entrain because of buoyancy (via a constraint which requires an increase in the radius $a$). This however, runs counter to the scaling arguments commonly used to derive the entrainment rate,…
Nonisothermal liquid sloshing in partially filled reservoirs can significantly enhance heat and mass transfer between liquid and ullage gasses. This can result in large temperature and pressure fluctuations, producing thrust oscillations in…
