Abstract: It is shown that planetary-scale waves are inherently accompanied by latitudinal momentum transport when they propagate vertically in vertically sheared zonal flows. Because of the dependence of the wave's latitudinal scale ...

Abstract: Any inversion algorithm that ignores the wavenumber dependence of the surface emissivity could cause systematic errors in the retrieval of atmospheric trace gas concentrations from high-resolution nadir radiances. The error ...

Abstract: As the global distribution of Venusian H2SO4?H2O clouds is strongly related to the global circulation of H2SO4 governed by wind transport and sedimentation of droplets, the circulation of H2SO4 in the Tropics was studied ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine the validity of J-grooves in controlling and suppressing the swirl flow in a conical diffuser, for draft surge suppression in a Francis turbine, which ...

Abstract: Cavitation is a serious problem in the development of high-speed turbopumps, and an inducer is often used to avoid cavitation in the main impeller. Thus, the inducer often operates under the ...

Abstract: Wavenumber spectra of the atmospheric potential energy of Mars at mesoscales (wavelengths of 64?957 km) were obtained as a function of latitude, season, and Martian year using infrared radiance data obtained by the Thermal ...

Abstract: ertical wavenumber spectra of Martian gravity waves were obtained for the altitude range 3?32 km from temperature profiles acquired by the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) radio occultation experiments. The spectra, which cover ...

Abstract: A modified, equatorial Kelvin wave solution is obtained in the presence of the zonal-mean meridional circulation. The modified Kelvin wave solution, which is obtained via a perturbation expansion of the linearized, primitive ...

Abstract: A large number of centrifuge model tests for simulating the shield construction process in dry sand was carried out by using a newly developed 100 mm diameter miniature shield tunnel. Different construction processes were ...

Abstract: This paper presents a solution method for obtaining the lateral hydrodynamic forces and moments on a submerged body translating at a yaw angle. The method is based on the infinitefluid formulation of the freesurface ...
