RISRetrieval of Atmospheric Parameters from Hydrometeor Backscatter Measured with Doppler Radar Profiler
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The evaluation of backscatter spectra of clouds and precipitation measured with Doppler radar profilers allows the retrieval of a number of important atmospheric parameters. This retrieval leads to inaccurate results if ...
Sequential and Simultaneous Model Predictive Control of a Drainage Canal Network Using an Implicit Diffusive Wave Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Model predictive control (MPC) is an efficient approach to regulate water systems, for both water quantity and quality. It generates optimal control trajectories based on model predictions over a finite horizon. In this ...
Experimental Investigation on the Plasticity of Hexagonal Aluminum Honeycomb Under Multiaxial Loading
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new custom-built universal biaxial testing device (UBTD) is introduced and successfully used to investigate the response of aluminum honeycomb under various combinations of large shear and ...
On the Crashworthiness of Shear-Rigid Sandwich Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper deals with the evaluation of the crashworthiness of thin-walled sandwich box structures for automotive applications. Quasi-static crushing simulations are carried out to estimate the ...
Estimating the Urban Heat Island in Residential Areas in the Netherlands Using Observations by Weather Amateurs
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: better quantification of the urban heat islands (UHIs) in the Netherlands is urgently needed given the heat stress?related problems in the recent past combined with the expected temperature rise for the coming decades. ...
Measurement and Statistical Modeling of the Urban Heat Island of the City of Utrecht (the Netherlands)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: obile temperature and humidity measurements have been performed along a 14-km transect through the city of Utrecht, in the Netherlands (311 000 inhabitants), during the period March 2006?January 2009. The measurements took ...
Three-Stream Flamelet Model for Industrial Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Efficient turbulent combustion models are typically designed for the numerical simulation of two-stream problems, namely, the combustion of fuel in air. There are applications, however, where large ...
A Global Model for the Diapycnal Diffusivity Induced by Internal Gravity Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n energetically consistent model for the diapycnal diffusivity induced by breaking of internal gravity waves is proposed and tested in local and global settings. The model [Internal Wave Dissipation, Energy and Mixing ...
An Energy Compartment Model for Propagation, Nonlinear Interaction, and Dissipation of Internal Gravity Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he recently proposed Internal Wave Dissipation, Energy and Mixing (IDEMIX) model, describing the propagation and dissipation of internal gravity waves in the ocean, is extended. Compartments describing the energy contained ...
