Geotechnical Input to Major Bridge Project
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Gateway Bridge in Brisbane, Australia, is a major structure by world standards. It crosses the Brisbane River to form a link in easterly bypass of the city of Brisbane. The total length of the structure is 1,627 m, ...
Near-Surface Current Measurements in the Gulf Stream Using an Upward-Looking Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During November 1986, a 6-day record was collected from a 150 kHz Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) mounted in the upward-looking mode on a subsurface mooring in the Gulf Stream near Cape Hatteras. The flotation ...
Wind-Driven Seasonal Cycle of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he dynamical processes governing the seasonal cycle of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) are studied using a variety of models, ranging from a simple forced Rossby wave model to an eddy-resolving ocean ...
Movement of Deposited Water on Turbomachinery Rotor Blade Surfaces
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A theoretical approach for calculating the movement of liquid water following deposition onto a turbomachine rotor blade is described. Such a situation can occur during operation of an aero-engine ...
CORRIGENDUM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Meandering and Transport Variations of the Florida Current
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Current meter observations were collected from a three-dimensional array moored in the Florida Straits between December 1983 and June 1984 as part of the Subtropical Atlantic Climate Studies (STACS) program. Approximately ...
Mixing and Entrainment in the Red Sea Outflow Plume. Part II: Turbulence Characteristics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: South of the Strait of Bab el Mandeb, saline Red Sea Water flows downslope into the Gulf of Aden mainly along the narrow 130-km-long ?Northern Channel? (NC) and the shorter and wider ?Southern Channel? (SC). In the NC, the ...
Bottom Layer Turbulence in the Red Sea Outflow Plume
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Turbulence in the Red Sea outflow plume in the western Gulf of Aden was observed with an upward-looking, five-beam, 600-kHz acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP). The ?Bottom Lander? ADCP was deployed on the seafloor ...
Transport and Entrainment in the Red Sea Outflow Plume
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Red Sea outflow exhibits strong seasonal variability in outflow transport due to effects of monsoon winds and seasonal fluctuations in buoyancy forcing. As it descends the continental slope in the western Gulf of Aden, ...
Rain Ingestion in Axial Flow Compressors at Part Speed
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: New experimental work is reported on the effects of water ingestion on the performance of an axial flow compressor. The background to the work is the effect that heavy rain has on an ...
