Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Selection of the 1.375-µm MODIS Channel for Remote Sensing of Cirrus Clouds and Stratospheric Aerosols from Space
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using spectral imaging data acquired with the Airborne Visible Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) from an ER-2 aircraft at 20-km altitude during the NASA FIRE Phase II Cirrus field program, it was found that narrow ...
Surface-Induced Brightness Temperature Variations and Their Effects on Detecting Thin Cirrus Clouds Using IR Emission Channels in the 8 12-µm Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method for detecting cirrus clouds in terms of brightness temperature differences between narrowbands at 8, 11, and 12 µm has been proposed by Ackerman et al. In this method, the variation of emissivity with wavelength ...
Numerical Study of Unsteady Cavitating Flow in an Inducer With Omega Vortex Identification
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To accurately capture the behaviors of cavitation and reveal the unsteady cavitating flow mechanism, a condensate pump inducer is numerically analyzed in a separate numerical experiment with large eddy simulation (LES) at ...
Unsteady Flow Structures and Pressure Pulsations in a Nuclear Reactor Coolant Pump With Spherical Casing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Severe vibrations induced by flow instabilities in the nuclear reactor coolant pump (RCP) are detrimental to the safe operation of the pump. Due to the particular spherical casing in the RCP, the internal flow structures ...
Analysis of External Water Pressure on the Support and Lining of Deep Mountain Tunnels below High Water Tables
