RISAnalysis of the Urban Thermal Fingerprint of the City of Trento in the Alps
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he temperature contrasts typically marking urban heat island (UHI) effects in the city of Trento, Italy, located in an Alpine valley and inhabited in its inner urban area by a population of about 56 000, are investigated. ...
Characterization of the Thermal Structure inside an Urban Canyon: Field Measurements and Validation of a Simple Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he results of measurement campaigns are analyzed to investigate the thermal structure in an urban canyon and to validate a simplified model simulating the air and surface temperatures from surface energy budgets. Starting ...
Tissue Cutting With Microserrated Biopsy Punches
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper investigates the application of bioinspired serrated cutting edges in tissue cutting by biopsy punches (BPs) to reduce the insertion force. BPs are frequently used as a diagnostic tool in many minimally invasive ...
Scaling Three Dimensional Low Pressure Turbine Blades for Low Speed Testing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The present activity was carried out in the framework of the Clean Sky European Research Project ITURB (optimal highlift turbine blade aeromechanical design), aimed at designing and validating a turbine blade for a geared ...
A Path Toward the Aerodynamic Robust Design of Low Pressure Turbines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Airline companies are continuously demanding lowerfuelconsuming engines and this leads to investigating innovative configurations and to further improving single module performance. In this framework the low pressure turbine ...
Accounting for Unsteady Interaction in Transonic Stages
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper discusses the importance of the unsteady interaction in transonic turbomachinery stages. Although the flow in a turbomachine is inherently unsteady, most current calculations for routine design work exploit the ...
Vibration-Assisted Slicing of Soft Tissue for Biopsy Procedures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Skin cancer represents one of the most common forms of cancer in the U.S. This and other skin disorders can be effectively diagnosed by performing a punch biopsy to obtain full-thickness skin specimens. Their quality depends ...
Secondary Flows in Low-Pressure Turbines Cascades: Numerical and Experimental Investigation of the Impact of the Inner Part of the Boundary Layer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Due to the low level of profile losses reached in low-pressure turbines (LPT) for turbofan applications, a renewed interest is devoted to other sources of loss, e.g., secondary losses. At the same time, the adoption of ...
Capturing Radial Mixing in Axial Compressors With Computational Fluid Dynamics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The current industrial standard for numerical simulations of axial compressors is the steady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) approach. Besides the well-known limitations of mixing planes, namely their inherent ...
A New K–ε Turbulence Parameterization for Mesoscale Meteorological Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new one-dimensional 1.5-order planetary boundary layer (PBL) scheme, based on the
