What is Circulation: Definition and 82 Discussions

A newspaper's circulation is the number of copies it distributes on an average day. Circulation is one of the principal factors used to set advertising rates. Circulation is not always the same as copies sold, often called paid circulation, since some newspapers are distributed without cost to the reader. Readership figures are usually higher than circulation figures because of the assumption that a typical copy of the newspaper is read by more than one person.
In many countries, circulations are audited by independent bodies such as the Audit Bureau of Circulations to assure advertisers that a given newspaper does reach the number of people claimed by the publisher. There are international open access directories such as Mondo Times, but these generally rely on numbers reported by newspapers themselves.
In many developed countries, newspaper circulation is falling due to social and technological changes such as the availability of news on the internet. On the other hand, in some developing countries circulation is increasing as these factors are more than cancelled out by rising incomes, population, and literacy.

    Exploring the Physical Meaning of Circulation in Vector Fields

    Meaning of "circulation" Is there a physical meaning to circulation: \Gamma=\oint_{C}\mathbf{V}\cdot\mathbf{dl} For example, if the vector field represents a force field, the path integral denotes the work done on a particle moving along said path. Here, its is velocity. What meaning...

    Understanding Circulation and Directionality in Vector Fields

    The circulation of a vector field is the closed line integral of the dot product between the vector and the infinitesimal displacement vectors along the curve. Therefore, the sign of circulation depends on which way around the curve you take the integral. This is all very well, but this...

    Computing Circulation in Pipe Flow using Velocity & Angular Direction

    I need to find the circulation for a flow in a pipe. I'm using the velocity in the angular direction (cylindrical coordinate system). Am I right in thinking that an ideal vortex is one where there is no vorticity? That would mean there is no circulation. It's strange, because the velocity is...

    Aircraft wings - Kelvins Circulation Theorem and the conservation of vorticity

    Air Change Rate with Low Air Circulation

    I figured an example is the easiest way to explain my question. A 500-sq.ft laboratory with 9-ft ceiling includes an HVAC system delivering enough air volume for an air change (AC) rate of 10 AC/hr. However, both the air intake and exhaust are located in the ceiling, 18-ft apart. In this closed...

    Exploring the Relationship Between Circulation and Lift in Potential Flow

    Consequences of Debris in Circulation from Medical Devices

    At a high shear rate, red blood cells become elongated and oriented in one direction, facilitating smooth blood flow. However, at a high enough shear rate, the cells will become so strained that a part of the cell membrane pinches off. This often occurs in poorly designed medical devices that...

    Design of hot water circulation system

    Here I've seen different solutions. Some people simply add a T to the hot water pipe from the heater and run the circulation pipe alongside the hot water pipe connecting the two near the end. They then connect a pump to this. I don't really see how this has any effect. Wouldn't the hot water...

    Meridional Overturning Circulation vs. Thermohaline Circulation?

    What is the difference between Meridional Overturning Circulation and Thermohaline Circulation? Is it correct to say: THC is a principle - basically just the fact that colder and/or saltier water sinks because it's denser than warmer or less salty water. And that if some other factor such...

    History of thermohaline circulation
