Perspectives on Molecular-Level Understanding of Thermophysics of Liquids and Future Research Directions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article provides the author's perspectives on the current molecular-level understanding of thermophysical properties and transport processes in liquids. After illustrating peculiarities of the thermophysical properties ...
The Mean Meridional Circulation of the Atmosphere Using the Mass above Isentropes as the Vertical Coordinate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he mean meridional circulation of the atmosphere is presented using the mass (more specifically, the pressure corresponding to the mass) above the isentrope of interest as the vertical coordinate. In this vertical coordinate, ...
Reflections on My Research in Heat and Energy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article reflects on the author's research career, which has focused on heat and energy. It details the challenges faced by the author and his research group, highlights their successes and failures, and explores some ...
Rethinking Loss of Available Work and Gouy–Stodola Theorem
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Exergy represents the maximum useful work possible when a system at a specific state reaches equilibrium with the environmental dead state at temperature To. Correspondingly, the exergy difference between two states is the ...
Mechanisms of the Tropical Upwelling Branch of the Brewer–Dobson Circulation: The Role of Extratropical Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he role of extratropical waves in the tropical upwelling branch of the Brewer?Dobson circulation is investigated in an idealized model of the stratosphere and troposphere. To simulate different stratospheric seasonal cycles ...
Effective Isentropic Diffusivity of Tropospheric Transport
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ropospheric transport can be described qualitatively by the slow mean diabatic circulation and rapid isentropic mixing, yet a quantitative understanding of the transport circulation is complicated, as nearly half of the ...
An Eddy-Viscosity Model Sensitized to Curvature and Wall-Roughness Effects for Reynolds-Averaged Closure
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a new extension of the realizable K−ε model that accounts for streamline curvature, system rotation, and surface roughness. The model is a type of realizable K−ε model, but the transport equations and ...
Study on the Expansion Force of TWIP Steel Expandable Tubular in Solid Expandable Tubular Technology
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper focuses on the expansion process of twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steel tubular undergoing the large circumferential plastic deformation in expandable tubular technology. The expansion process was performed ...
Quantifying the Eddy Feedback and the Persistence of the Zonal Index in an Idealized Atmospheric Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An idealized atmospheric model is employed to quantify the strength of the eddy feedback and the persistence of the zonal index. The strength of the surface frictional damping on the zonal index is varied, and an external ...
The Tropospheric Jet Response to Prescribed Zonal Forcing in an Idealized Atmospheric Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper explores the tropospheric jet shift to a prescribed zonal torque in an idealized dry atmospheric model with high stratospheric resolution. The jet moves in opposite directions for torques on the jet?s equatorward ...
