Abstract: To understand the basic facets of snow tribology, it is necessary to consider dry, wet, compaction, and impact resistances. These mechanisms and their aggregate effect are reviewed and modeled ...

Abstract: Linearized solutions are derived for the case of constant (negative) shear flow over an isolated, circularly symmetric hill and are evaluated for three characteristic wave regimes. Of particular interest is the three-dimensional ...

Abstract: A large-amplitude lee-wave event detected in radiosonde ascents during a field experiment in the Welsh mountains is described and wave characteristics are deduced. The synoptic-flow pattern accompanying this wave field is ...

Abstract: Analytical solutions are obtained to the linearized equations describing a particular class of directionally sheared flow over isolated hills or ridges. The flows are characterized by constant buoyancy frequency and vertical ...

Abstract: Small modular reactors (SMRs) are a popular topic with a significant number of designs with a wide range of sizes. The motivation of this type of work is to find alternative uses for the SMRs so that the thermal energy is ...

Abstract: Juan de Fuca submarine canyon has depths exceeding 200 m extending completely across the continental shelf. Observations of currents in the canyon during winter 1970 showed relatively large currents and large excursions ...

Abstract: Experimental investigations of the force‐deformation behavior of cropped‐web tubular Pratt type truss joints and specimens representing truss compression webs are described. Dimensionless empirical expressions are presented ...

Abstract: One of the most important and sensitive parameters defining the characteristic behavior of compliant-surface, fluid-film bearings has been found to be the value of Poisson’s ratio of the elastomer ...

Abstract: Multi-wavelength sun photometry has been a subject of interest in meteorology for two and a half centuries. The technique provides a quantitative index that relates to total suspended aerosol in the atmospheric air column ...
