0 the quality of being able to float: --
He swam with an inflatable buoyancy device.
1 the quality of being successful or able to make a profit: --
2 a happy, positive quality, especially in spite of problems: --
He was a man of remarkable buoyancy.
4 success and a lot of activity in an economy, market, etc.: --
5 the condition of increasing or staying at a high level: --
The limited horizontal extent of the forcing results in a buoyancy gradient across the sill and an associated circulation.
In the foregoing equations for two-layer flows with surface buoyancy flux, it is equation (14) which governs the dynamics of the system.
The buoyancy falls essentially to zero at a height of 704m and goes negative at a height of about 1400.
The fluid will be accelerated by buoyancy forces alone and balancedessentially by viscous shear forces.
However, in both numerical and laboratory experiments, the phenomenon of buoyancy spreading due to localized baroclinic vortices is clearly observed.
Lithospheric buoyancy and collisional orogenesis: subduction of oceanic plateaus, continental margins, island arcs, spreading ridges, and seamounts.
This may be followed by a (previously investigated) purely inertial phase, wherein the buoyancy force of the intruding fluid is balanced by the inertial force.
This will no longer hold if buoyancy effects are sufficiently strong to create a gravity tongue, such as in the reference flow discussed above.
