Miscible-liquid displacements of water/ethanol solutions were conducted in a 2.54-cm-ID column packed with glass beads of 275 to 300 and 25 to 30 mesh with bed heights of 6.35 to 40.8 cm. The viscosity ratio of the resident fluid to displacing fluid was maintained at 0.72 for fluid pairs with favorable density differences. Dispersion coefficients obtained from a two-parameter model increased from approx.3 x 10/sup -5/ to approx.2 x 10/sup -2/ cm/sup 2//s with increasing packing particle size, fluid velocity, and density difference.

The time-dependent Hartree-Fock method is used to produce time dependent graphical representations of the density contours of the binary cluster in the reactions /sup 14/N(112 MeV) + /sup 12/C, /sup 16/O(384 MeV) + /sup 16/O, and /sup 20/Ne(164 MeV) + /sup 58/Ni. Alpha clustering and multipole shape vibrations are seen. Predictions for d sigma/d..cap omega.., d sigma/dZ/sub f/, and d/sup 2/sigma(E/sub f/)d..cap omega..dE/sub f/vertical/sub z//sub f/ are obtained in the case of /sup 14/N + /sup 12/C and found to agree well with available experimental data. It is concluded that cluster dynamics play an essential role in heavy-ion reactions.
