Fang, X., J.W. Pomeroy, C.R. Ellis, M.K. MacDonald, C.M. DeBeer, and T. Brown, 2013: “Multi-variable evaluation of hydrological model predictions for a headwater basin in the Canadian Rocky Mountains.” Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, v. 17, pp. 1635-1659, doi: 10.5194/hess-17-1635-2013.

One of the purposes of the Cold Regions Hydrological Modelling platform (CRHM) is to diagnose inadequacies in the understanding of the hydrological cycle and its simulation. A physically based hydrological model including a full suite of snow and cold regions hydrology processes as well as warm season, hillslope and groundwater hydrology was developed in CRHM for application in the Marmot Creek Research Basin (~9.4 km

fuckyeahfluiddynamics:

If you have any leftover hard-boiled eggs, you can recreate this bit of fluid dynamical fun. Spin the egg through a puddle of milk, and you’ll find that the egg draws liquid up from the puddle and flights it out in a series of jets. As the egg spins, it drags the milk it touches with it. Points closer to the egg’s equator have a higher velocity because they travel a larger distance with each rotation. This variation in velocities creates a favorable pressure gradient that draws milk up the sides of the egg as it spins, creating a simple pump. To see the effect in action check out this Science Friday video or the BYU Splash Lab’s Easter-themed video. (Photo credit: BYU Splash Lab)
