Abstract: The energy exchange between ocean surface waves and ice floes in the marginal ice zone (MIZ) involves the scattering and attenuation of wave energy and the excitation of oscillation modes of the ice floes, as open ocean ...

Abstract: The mixing of a passive tracer by realistic time-dependent stratospheric flow (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts winds) on an isentropic surface (420 K) is studied. Simulations of the advection?diffusion ...

Abstract: A new parameterization of the radiative properties of water clouds is presented. Cloud optical properties for both solar and terrestrial spectra and for cloud equivalent radii in the range 2.5?60 µm are calculated from Mie ...

Abstract: A load distribution model of planetary gear sets presented is capable of simulating planetary gear sets having component- and system-level design variations such as component supporting conditions, different kinds of gear ...

Abstract: Ocean models usually estimate surface currents without explicit modeling of the ocean waves. To consider the impact of waves on surface currents, here a wave model is used in a modified Ekman layer model, which is imbedded ...

Abstract: The plastic deformation during flash-butt welding (FBW) and its effects on weld quality are investigated by using numerical and experimental methods. The electro-thermo-mechanical coupling model of FBW is validated by ...

Abstract: This study examines the development of bulk single-scattering properties of ice clouds, including single-scattering albedo, asymmetry factor, and phase function, for a set of 1117 particle size distributions obtained from ...

Abstract: This paper reports a measure for easing spudcan-footprint interactions when a jack-up rig needs to be installed near existing jack-up footprints. Two novel spudcan shapes, a skirted spudcan with four rectangular holes and ...

Abstract: ensible heat flux (H), latent heat flux (LE), and net radiation (NR) are important surface energy components that directly influence climate systems. In this study, the changes in the surface energy and their contributions ...
