Abstract: The effects of free and forced convection mechanisms on evaporation rates from open water bodies is examined. Examination of measurements from seven water bodies (from very small to tens of square kilometers) indicates ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of damage factors for low-rise structures exposed to hurricane winds. The intent is to provide a systematic approach for estimating wind damage and loss for a population of structures over ...

Abstract: This experimental study concentrates on the behavior of an axisymmetric jet with an unsteady discharge flow rate. Results show that it is possible to categorize unsteady jets with a linear ramp time-discharge variation ...
