SUBSEQUENT STREAM [9 records]

Record 1 2012-04-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
  • Geomorphology and Geomorphogeny
DEF

A stream that flows in the opposite direction to a consequent stream, often against the direction of dip.

OBS

An obsequent stream is a tributary to a subsequent stream that developed independent of, and subsequent to, the original topography.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
  • Géomorphologie et géomorphogénie

Record 3 2012-03-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
DEF

A stream that has developed its valley along an outcrop of less-resistant rocks or a regional fault or joint pattern, at right angles to the drainage which is consequent upon the slope of the land ...

OBS

Because they are developing along relatively weak structures subsequent streams develop mainly by headward erosion.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
DEF

Cours d'eau de deuxième ordre du réseau hydrographique qui se développe par érosion régressive dans les affleurements de roches peu résistantes, à partir du cours de base, le cours d'eau conséquent.

Record 4 2011-06-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Scientific Instruments
DEF

A radiation measuring assembly comprising a radiation detector in which the individual ionizing events cause electrical pulses; these pulses are transmitted to auxiliary equipment for processing and counting.

CONT

Radiation Counters as Detectors. Radioactivity measurements of gas chromatographic column effluents have been performed by various modified sensing devices. However, all of these are based on two primary methods :(1) condensation of the radioactive components out of the gas stream for subsequent radioassay, and(2) direct measurement of radioactivity in the gas phase.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie analytique
  • Instruments scientifiques
DEF

Dispositif de mesure d'un rayonnement qui comporte, d'une part, un détecteur de rayonnement dans lequel des effets ionisants individuels provoquent des impulsions électriques et, d'autre part, l'équipement associé nécessaire pour traiter et compter les impulsions. Une expression est souvent ajoutée pour indiquer le type de détecteur (par exemple, scintillation, semi-conducteur, etc.).

DEF

Said of a stream, valley, or drainage system that maintains its original course or direction despite subsequent deformation or uplift.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
  • Tectonique
DEF

(En parlant d'un cours d'eau) Qui présente un phénomène d'antécédence.

PHR

Cours d'eau antécédent.

Record 6 1999-06-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Thermodynamics
  • Physics
CONT

Heat transfer coefficients are shown as functions of downstream and transverse plate coordinates as determined experimentally for different blowing ratios near one and for levels of free stream turbulence from 1 percent to 17 percent of the free stream velocity. Heat transfer between the plate and the free stream is reduced by the film cooling at higher levels of free stream turbulence. Heat transfer is increased on the plate in the region between the film cooling jets at all levels of blowing ratio for one percent free stream turbulence. This undesirable augmentation of the heat transfer is modeled analytically and related to the axial vortices generated near the film cooling jet inlets. The strength of these vortices and the subsequent heat transfer increases are related to the blowing ration.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Thermodynamique
  • Physique
DEF

Refroidissement d'une surface portée à très haute température (aube de turbine, tête de missile, etc.) par projection continue sur cette surface d'une couche mince de fluide réfrigérant.

OBS

L'emploi de ce terme est recommandé par le Ministère de la défense de la France.

Record 7 1994-02-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Textiles: Preparation and Processing
  • Synthetic Fabrics
DEF

Yarn textured by a process in which entangled loops are formed in the filaments by over-feeding the yarn through a compressed turbulent fluid stream [air, gas or steam] with or without subsequent heat treatment.

OBS

jet-bulked yarn: Term and definition standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Apprêt et traitements divers (Textiles)
  • Textiles artificiels et synthétiques
DEF

Fil texturé par un procédé au cours duquel les filaments forment des boucles entremêlées par suralimentation du fil dans un courant turbulent du fluide [air, gaz ou vapeur] sous pression avec ou sans post-fixation thermique.

Record 8 1989-06-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Geomorphology and Geomorphogeny
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
DEF

A swamp occurring along the banks of permanent or semi-permanent streams. The high water table is maintained by the level of water in the stream. The swamp is seasonally inundated, with subsequent sediment deposition.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Géomorphologie et géomorphogénie
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
DEF

Un marécage qui longe les berges des cours d'eau permanents ou semi-permanents. La nappe phréatique élevée est maintenue par le niveau de l'eau du cours d'eau. Le marécage est inondé à certaines saisons, ce qui entraîne la sédimentation.
