RISMaster Curves for Poroelastic Spherical Indentation With Step Displacement Loading
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Theoretical and numerical analyses are conducted to rigorously construct master curves that can be used for interpretation of displacement-controlled poroelastic spherical indentation test. A fully coupled poroelastic ...
Observations of the Velocity and Vorticity Structure of Gulf Stream Meanders
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In September?October 1988 and in April 1989 two 4-week cruises were organized to study the structure and dynamics of Gulf Stream meanders. The first one focused on an anticyclonic crest, and the second one on a cyclonic ...
Robust Dual-Level Optimization Framework for Resource-Constrained Multiproject Scheduling for a Prefabrication Facility in Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This research is intended to improve the current practice of resource planning and project scheduling at a prefabrication facility in construction, where engineered systems or components of large size and heavy weight are ...
A High-Resolution Air Pollution Model Suitable for Dispersion Studies in Complex Terrain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The development of an air pollution transport model that uses an expanding terrain-following coordinate with high resolution in analytic form near the surface and a high-order accurate transport algorithm is described. The ...
An Eulerian Model of Dispersion in the Convective Boundary Layer Using Explicit Periodic Advections
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors have developed a relatively simple, first-order closure, Eulerian diffusion model, in which turbulent coherent structures of the convective boundary layer are explicitly included as periodic velocities imposed ...
Free Vibration of a Fluid Loaded Ring Stiffened Conical Shell With Variable Thickness
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An analytical method is presented for the free vibration of a fluid loaded (submerged) ringstiffened conical shell with variable thickness in the low frequency range. Based on the Flأ¼gge theory and equivalent method of ...
A Theoretical Study of Mountain Barrier Jets over Sloping Valleys
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A shallow-water model is developed to examine the dynamics of mountain-barrier jets over a mesoscale sloping valley between two mountain ridges. In this model, the cold air trapped in the valley is represented by a ...
Influence of Mesoscale Dynamics and Turbulence on Fine Dust Transport in Owens Valley
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Fine dust particles emitted from Owens (dry) Lake in California documented during the Terrain-Induced Rotor Experiment (T-REX) of 2006 have been examined using surface observations and a mesoscale aerosol model. Air quality ...
Influence of Geometry of Inlet Guide Vanes on Pressure Fluctuations of a Centrifugal Pump
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Prewhirl regulation by inlet guide vanes (IGVs) has been proven as an effective method for operation regulation of centrifugal pumps. By contrast, the influence of the geometry of IGVs on operation stability of centrifugal ...
Numerical Experiments of an Advanced Radiative Transfer Model in the U.S. Navy Operational Global Atmospheric Prediction System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: high-order accurate radiative transfer (RT) model developed by Fu and Liou has been implemented into the Navy Operational Global Atmospheric Prediction System (NOGAPS) to improve the energy budget and forecast skill. The ...
