An Improvement in Forecasting Rapid Intensification of Typhoon Sinlaku (2008) Using Clear-Sky Full Spatial Resolution Advanced IR Soundings
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Hyperspectral infrared (IR) sounders, such as the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) and the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI), provide unprecedented global atmospheric temperature and moisture soundings ...
A Class of Conservative Phase Field Models for Multiphase Fluid Flows
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Hydrodynamic phase field models for multiphase fluids formulated using volume fractions of incompressible fluid components do not normally conserve mass. In this paper, we formulate phase field theories for mixtures of ...
On the Decomposition of Deformation Into Elastic-Plastic Parts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper analyzes the decomposition of finite deformation into elastic and plastic parts. The analysis argues that Lee’s multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient is not the real ...
Numerical Investigations on the Heat Transfer Behavior of Brush Seals Using Combined Computational Fluid Dynamics and Finite Element Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Brush seals have been applied in more and more challenging hightemperature locations. The high speed bristlerotor friction causes a considerable heat generation which accelerates the bristles wear. The frictional heat ...
Numerical Modeling of Film Condensation in Horizontal Mini- and Macrocircular Tubes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A partial differential–integral equation has been derived to connect vapor condensation and the development of condensate film thickness in both the tangential and axial directions in a horizontal circular condenser tube. ...
On the Characteristic of a Small-Scale Isolation Mechanism With Three-Dimensional Quasi-Zero Stiffness
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To provide an excellent operation environment for micro-precise instruments in a narrow space with strict restrictions on weight, this study proposes a small-scale vibration isolation system with six-dimensional quasi-zero ...
Rotordynamic Characteristics of the Straight-Through Labyrinth Seal Based on the Applicability Analysis of Leakage Models Using Bulk-Flow Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Labyrinth seals are widely applied in the turbomachinery to control the leakage flow through the clearance between stationary and rotating components. The fluid excitation induced by the labyrinth seal would deteriorate ...
Micromechanics-Based Analysis of the Effect of Aggregate Homogeneity on the Uniaxial Penetration Test of Asphalt Mixtures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
A Simplified Method to Calculate the Acoustic Pressure of Three-Dimensional Finite-Length Noise Barriers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To predict the performance of three-dimensional (3D) finite-length noise barriers, a simplified method is presented to calculate the acoustic pressure of noise barriers by a theoretical approach. Based on noise diffraction ...
Large-Scale Conditions Favorable for the Development of Heavy Rainfall during TAMEX IOP 3
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The large-scale processes responsible for development of heavy precipitation during 20?23 May 1987 along the southeastern China coast are studied. There are two distinct rainfall peaks around 0000 UTC 20 May and 0000 UTC ...
