Abstract: A three-dimensional hybrid structured-unstructured Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) solver has been developed to simulate flows in complex turbomachinery geometries. It is built by coupling an ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a new thermal error modeling methodology called the Dynamic Thermal Error Modeling which improves the accuracy and robustness of the machine tool thermal error model. The ...

Abstract: The prevention of secondary crashes is a high priority task in traffic incident management. However, the limited knowledge regarding the nature of secondary crashes largely impeded the development of established countermeasures. ...

Abstract: Many surveyors who work in/near live traffic encounter unique safety challenges as they are frequently exposed to fast moving vehicles. Unlike traditional work zones, safety countermeasures at surveying sites are usually ...

Abstract: Satellite-based precipitation estimates with high spatial and temporal resolution and large areal coverage provide a potential alternative source of forcing data for hydrological models in regions where conventional in ...

Abstract: For the purpose of finding a way to control effectively the residual thermal stresses induced by local heat treatment on spherical vessels, a thermal tracing program is developed successfully ...

Abstract: nderstanding spatiotemporal rainfall patterns in mountainous areas is of great importance for prevention of natural disasters such as flash floods and landslides. There is little knowledge about rainfall variability over ...

Abstract: A satellite-based rainfall estimation algorithm, Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks (PERSIANN) Cloud Classification System (CCS), is described. This algorithm extracts ...

Abstract: Toll plazas create a number of bottlenecks on highways. They can induce motor vehicle crashes and also put workers such as toll collectors at risk. Enhancing safety at toll plazas is crucial to improving safety on tolled ...
