Abstract: Three versions of a 2 1/2-layer ocean model are used to study the subtropical cell (STC), a shallow, meridionalcirculation cell consisting of subtropical subduetion, equatorward advection of cool subsurface water into ...

Abstract: The flow of thermocline water from the subtropical to the equatorial Pacific Ocean is investigated using a 2½-layer numerical model. In this system, the lower of the two active layers represents the thermocline region of ...

Abstract: new scheme of water cloud optical properties is proposed for correlated k-distribution (CKD) models, in which the correlation in spectral distributions between the gaseous absorption coefficient and cloud optical properties ...

Abstract: A 4½ layer model is used to study intermediate-water circulation in the Pacific Ocean. Solutions are forced by annual-mean winds. They are also driven by a prescribed inflow of water through the southwestern corner of the ...

Abstract: Printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHE), as a high-efficiency and compact heat exchanger, shows a high potential in high temperature, high pressure, and some extreme environments, thus, it is widely used in nuclear power ...

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical investigation on the flow and heat-transfer characteristics of liquid lithium and helium in printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHE) channels with pulsating flow introduced. The effects of the ...

Abstract: A hierarchy of models, varying from 2½-layer to 4½-layer systems, is used to explore the dynamics of the Pacific Subsurface Countercurrents, commonly referred to as ?Tsuchiya Jets? (TJs). The TJs are eastward currents ...

Abstract: Selective laser melting (SLM) technology has a great potential to reduce size and weight of hydraulic valves. However, the tribological performance of an SLMed valve has not been studied which is crucial for the performance ...

Abstract: The δ-two- and four-stream combination approximations, which use a source function from the two-stream approximations and evaluate intensities in the four-stream directions, are formulated for the calculation of diffuse ...

Abstract: A 3½-layer model is used to study the meridional circulation cells that provide the source waters of the Pacific Equatorial Undercurrent (EUC). Its three active layers represent tropical, thermocline, and upper-intermediate ...
