Abstract: his paper presents examples of the data quality assessment of surface radial velocity maps obtained from shore-based single and multiple high-frequency radars (HFRs) using statistical and dynamical approaches in a hindcast ...

Abstract: Since their introduction in the early 1990s, pulsating heat pipes (PHPs) have received a lot of attention due to their obvious advantages such as their geometrical simplicity, and their potential for high-heat flux ...

Abstract: AbstractIn this study, the observation impacts on 24-h forecast error reduction (FER), based on the adjoint method in the four-dimensional variational (4DVAR) data assimilation (DA) and hybrid-4DVAR DA systems coupled with ...

Abstract: Environmental and regulatory pressures have prompted original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to explore highly boosted internal combustion (IC) engines as a means to minimize toxic air pollutants and meet strict legislative ...

Abstract: Analysis of coastal surface currents measured off the coast of San Diego for two years suggests an anisotropic and asymmetric response to the wind, probably as a result of bottom/coastline boundary effects, including ...

Abstract: Within the period of the historical record there have been several occurrences of extensive damage from storm-surge-related coastal flooding in the region of Nome, Alaska. The most recent of these events, although by no ...

Abstract: An offshore platform has several modules that contain much of the equipment needed for oil and gas production, and these are placed on the limited space of the topside. Furthermore, the equipment layout should leave ...

Abstract: Impeller recirculation is a loss which has long been considered in one-dimensional (1D) modeling; however, the full extent of its impact on stage performance has not been analyzed. Recirculation has traditionally been ...
