Introduction
If Hong Kong were easy to simplify, this would have simplified things. Who is a ‘native’ resident? Or, to put the question another way, who is a ‘Hong Kong people’, a common second-language error here that raises interesting and rather profound questions when one unpacks the meaning underneath the Chinglish. Can people other than Cantonese-speaking Chinese fit the definition? Questions like these, as they have played out in the courts and the media, have led to shouting in the streets. And without the editors explicitly naming identity as a focus of this book (it is, after all, a fiction anthology, not a collection of essays in one of the social sciences), identity manifested as a theme in every story we accepted and quite a few that we did not
Bulk flow scaling for turbulent channel and pipe flows
We report a theory deriving bulk flow scaling for canonical wall-bounded
flows. The theory accounts for the symmetries of boundary geometry (flat plate
channel versus circular pipe) by a variational calculation for a large-scale
energy length, which characterizes its bulk flow scaling by a simple exponent,
i.e. for channel and 5 for pipe. The predicted mean velocity shows
excellent agreement with several dozen sets of quality empirical data for a
wide range of the Reynolds number (Re), with a universal bulk flow constant
. Predictions for dissipation and turbulent transport in the
bulk flow are also given, awaiting data verification.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
