CONT

Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are diagnostic assays designed for use at the point-of-care (POC), and can be adapted for use in low-resource settings. An RDT is low-cost, simple to operate and read, sensitive, specific, stable at high temperatures, and works in a short period of time. RDTs are already in use for several neglected diseases.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aerodynamics and Theory of Gases
  • Wind Energy
DEF

A theory that assumes eddy vorticity is conserved in turbulent air undergoing rapid stretching, while shear production of turbulence remains zero or unchanged.

OBS

It is used to help predict the flow of turbulent air over hills and predicts that the vertical velocity variance should increase in the outer layer of accelerated winds flowing over a hill, while longitudinal velocity variance should decrease.

  • Énergie éolienne
CONT

La théorie de la distorsion rapide […] est un vieux concept souvent considéré comme complémentaire des approches par viscosité turbulente. L'idée de base de la distorsion rapide est de dire que dans un cisaillement les structures turbulentes interagissent moins entre elles qu'avec le cisaillement lui même. Le nom de la méthode en découle : les structures turbulentes sont déformées et dissipées (ou incorporées au cisaillement moyen) rapidement, avant de pouvoir interagir entre elles. À l'origine [cette théorie] a été introduite pour calculer l'évolution de structures turbulentes tourbillonaires dans un milieu homogène présentant en particulier un cisaillement constant. Hunt (1973) la généralisa au cas des cisaillements inhomogènes. La [théorie de la distorsion rapide] s'apparentait alors à l'équation linéarisée d'évolution d'une turbulence fluctuante (traitée comme une perturbation d'un écoulement moyen) créant par rétroaction des tensions de Reynolds modifiant l'écoulement moyen.
