Abstract: he residual currents in estuaries are produced by a variety of physical mechanisms. To understand the contribution of each individual mechanism to the creation of residual circulation, it is necessary to separate the effect ...

Abstract: The influence of nonlinear lateral advection on estuarine exchange flow is examined with a scaling analysis and eight groups of idealized numerical experiments. Nonlinear lateral advection is related to the linkage between ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel deployable antenna mechanism for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites. First, the topological structure of the new deployable mechanism is designed based on the five conditions expected to ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel 5-degree-of-freedom (5-DOF) delta-like parallel robot named the double-pitch-delta robot, which can output three translations and two pitch rotations for peg-in-hole assembly. First, the kinematic ...

Abstract: The collapse and buckling behaviors of reinforced thermoplastic pipe (RTP) under external pressure are studied in this paper. A theoretical model which includes axial and shear deformation is applied based on the model ...

Abstract: Residual currents induced by asymmetric tidal mixing were examined for weakly stratified, narrow estuaries using analytical and numerical models. The analytical model is an extension of the work of R. K. McCarthy, with the ...

Abstract: The dynamics of lateral circulation in the Passaic River estuary is examined in this modeling study. The pattern of lateral circulation varies significantly over a tidal cycle as a result of the temporal variation of ...

Abstract: he dynamics associated with lateral circulation in a tidally driven estuarine channel is analyzed on the basis of streamwise vorticity. Without rotational effects, differential advection and diffusive boundary mixing produce ...

Abstract: Reinforced thermoplastic pipe (RTP) is a composite thermoplastic pipe, which is increasingly being used in oil and gas industry. In practical applications, RTPs inevitably experience bending during reeling process and ...
