Abstract: The accurate representation and integration of velocity measurements in open channels is important in irrigation and river engineering. The traditional approach for velocity is to use an approximate physical theory, giving ...

Abstract: This paper describes the inclusion of variable gas properties within a Reynolds average Navier-Stokes solver for turbomachinery and its application to multistage turbines. Most current turbomachinery ...

Abstract: Some very impressive modeling work lies behind this paper, but leaves the reader with many questions which Dr. Mahkamov may care to answer.

Abstract: Prior to the detailed design of components, turbomachinery engineers must guide a mean-line or throughflow design toward an optimum configuration. This process requires a combination of informed judgement and low-order ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the partial collapse of John Purdue Block, a historic masonry structure in Lafayette, Indiana. The collapse occurred while the structure was being renovated and modified to prepare it for a new occupancy ...

Abstract: Turbomachinery design systems are usually the jealously guarded property of large companies, and the author is not aware of any for which the source code is freely available. This paper is aimed providing a freely available ...

Abstract: The thermodynamic and kinematic structure of two stable orographic storms were described in Part I based on instrumented aircraft data and single Doppler radar data. The precipitation processes in these storms are described ...

Abstract: Two deep, orographic storms were documented over the Sierra Nevada with an instrumented aircraft and with a single Doppler radar. In both storms the geographic winds were normal to the barrier with speeds of 15 to 30 m ...

Abstract: On April 19, 1995, a truck loaded with an ammonium nitrate and fuel oil bomb caused collapse of fully half of the total floor area of the nine-story, reinforced concrete Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. The extent ...
