Casing Treatment and Inlet Swirl of Centrifugal Compressors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Ported shroud is a costeffective casing treatment that can greatly improve stability of centrifugal compressors. It is widely used in turbochargers and other applications where compressors with a wide flow range are required. ...
Targeting Studies for the Extratropical Transition of Hurricane Fabian: Signal Propagation, the Interaction between Fabian and Midlatitude Flow, and an Observation Strategy
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study examines how the impact of targeted observations propagates during the extratropical transition (ET) of Hurricane Fabian. Signal (i.e., the forecast difference between denial experiments and the control experiment) ...
Residual Flexural Capacity and Performance Assessment of Corroded Reinforced Concrete Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an approach for evaluating concrete cracking growth and structural resistance deterioration due to reinforcement corrosion and for predicting future structural performance during the service life of the ...
On the Rapid Intensification of Hurricane Wilma (2005). Part II: Convective Bursts and the Upper-Level Warm Core
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: revious studies have focused mostly on the roles of environmental factors in the rapid intensification (RI) of tropical cyclones (TCs) because of the lack of high-resolution data in inner-core regions. In this study, the ...
A Study on the Asymmetric Rapid Intensification of Hurricane Earl (2010) Using the HWRF System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study, the results of a forecast from the operational Hurricane Weather Research and Forecast (HWRF) system for Hurricane Earl (2010) are verified against observations and analyzed to understand the asymmetric rapid ...
Comparison of the SST-Forced Responses between Coupled and Uncoupled Climate Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: t is commonly assumed that a reasonable estimate of the SST-forced component of the observed atmospheric circulation is given by an atmospheric GCM (AGCM) forced with the observed SST. However, there are results that find ...
On the Rapid Intensification of Hurricane Wilma (2005). Part III: Effects of Latent Heat of Fusion
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he impacts of the latent heat of fusion on the rapid intensification (RI) of Hurricane Wilma (2005) are examined by comparing a 72-h control simulation (CTL) of the storm to a sensitivity simulation in which the latent ...
Drought Occurrence Probabilities and Risks of Dependent Hydrologic Processes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The occurrence probabilities, return periods, and risk of drought events are estimated for dependent hydrologic processes. Traditionally, Markovian models have been used for modeling hydrologic processes having short-term ...
The Mechanism on Prediction of Transient Maximum Amplitude for Tuned and Mistuned Blisks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Blisks are subjected to frequent acceleration and deceleration, which leads to a transient forced response; however, there is limited understanding of this response. In this work, the mechanism on prediction of transient ...
Evaluation of Weather Noise and Its Role in Climate Model Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he relationship between coupled atmosphere?ocean general circulation model simulations and uncoupled simulations made with specified SST and sea ice is investigated using the Community Climate System Model, version 3. ...
