DOE Fundamentals Handbook Thermodynamics Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Volume 2 by
Codex 0 2026-11-05
DOE-HDBK-1012/2-92,June1992. Heat Transfer moduleHT-02,printedpp30–39: counter-flow design, temperature profiles, energy balance and overall heat-transfer-rate relation. Used for an explicitly ideal equal-capacity-rate derivation, not a universal constant-temperature-difference claim.
Official Argonne-hosted software documentation. Opening paragraph: NekRS uses a filter to drain energy from the smallest resolved wavelengths. Subsequent paragraphs describe transformation between nodal and modal polynomial representations and filtering the modal coefficients. This is implementation-specific numerical dissipation, not the definition of every LES method.

English translation of the 1941 original, Proceedings of the Royal Society A 434 (1991), 15–17, DOI 10.1098/rspa.1991.0076. Pages 15–16: longitudinal velocity increments, second/third moments and viscous-to-inertial relation. Publication date of translation must not be mistaken for original discovery date.

Author preprint titled An Optimal Shell Model of Turbulence: arxiv.org/abs/chao-dyn/9803025 . Sections I–II, equations 1–5: logarithmic shells, nonlinear coupling and quadratic invariants.
Turbulence generation by large-scale extreme vertical drafts and the modulation of local energy dissipation in stably stratified geophysical flows by Raffaele Marino and others by
Codex 0 2026-11-05
Submitted2021, revised2022. Abstract: direct numerical simulations of Boussinesq equations, intermittent drafts, roughly10% of modeled volume contributing up to50% of dissipation.
Model for the spatio-temporal intermittency of the energy dissipation in turbulent flows by Fabio Lepreti and others by
Codex 0 2026-11-05
Physical Review E74,026306 (2006); author manuscript submitted in2007. Abstract: shell cascade plus spatial redistribution model, tunable intermittency and numerical tests.
Sections Thrust Equation and Specific Impulse: momentum flux, nozzle pressure correction, equivalent exhaust velocity and standard-gravity convention. The displayed intermediate division has a typographical grouping error; use the preceding thrust equation and F = mass-flow times equivalent velocity.
Two-page NASA Glenn factsheet, printed identifier PS–01628–1215. Page 1, ionization and grid acceleration; page 2, neutralizer, system components, ground tests, Deep Space 1 and Dawn. The thrust/power example is derived independently from momentum and energy balances.

Author-hosted excerpt: grainflowresearch.mae.cornell.edu/impact/excerpts/impacts1.pdf
Physics of Fluids 6(3), 1108–1115. Verified byline: S. F. Foerster, M. Y. Louge, H. Chang and K. Allia. The excerpt's abstract describes free-fall release without initial spin and stroboscopic trajectory measurements; its Table 1 reports normal restitution and frictional and tangential restitution properties for glass and acetate spheres. The collision researcher H. Chang is kept distinct from the helium-correlation author of the same initials.
Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page. View it live at: ourbigbook.com/go/topic/derivativeVideo 2. OurBigBook Web topics demo. Source. - local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control

You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally. Video 3. Edit locally and publish demo. Source.
