Opportunistic fountain coding with coordinative routing by Tong Peng, Sangarapillai Lambotharan, Gan Zheng, Mohammad Shikh-Bahaei

“…In this letter, we propose an opportunistic decoding and recoding mechanism with coordinative routing algorithm for fountain codes to improve the expected transmission counts (ETX) performance and to reduce computational complexity of fountain decoding at each relay in multi-hop wireless sensor networks. …”

Warm discharges in cold fresh water: 1. Line plumes in a uniform ambient. by Anthony Kay

“…If an upwardly buoyant plume rising through a body of water reaches the surface before passing through its zero-buoyancy level, it will form a surface gravity current; otherwise, the plume water will return to the source as a fountain. …”

Numerical simulation of warm discharge in cold fresh water by Alabodite M. George

“…The simulations were carried out for Prandtl number Pr = 7 & 11.4 and over the ranges of Froude number 0.1 ≤ Fr ≤ 5 and Reynolds numbers 50 ≤ Re ≤ 106, with source temperatures that are assumed to be higher than the temperature of maximum density Tm, and the ambient water below the Tm. …”
