Abstract: Modifications to vertical velocity profiles of coastal currents due to surface gravity waves were experimentally and theoretically examined. Results on these modifications were used to develop guidelines for approximating ...

Abstract: This paper describes experimental results from a research program aimed at a study of the static and dynamic characteristics of liquid long annular seals. A seal test rig permits the identification ...

Abstract: An important parameter in the analysis provided by the second law of thermodynamics for the evaluation of solar energy conversion systems is the radiation temperature. The solar radiation is ...

Abstract: A theoretical expression for the change of the spreading rate of momentum surface jets due to opposing surface gravity waves is obtained. A scale analysis performed on the depth averaged Eulerian momentum equation of the ...

Abstract: This study examined the accuracy of 14 design-oriented stress-strain models of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-confined concrete from the available literature to predict the cyclic responses of nine circular reinforced ...

Abstract: In this paper, heavy rain effects on the aerodynamic efficiency of National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) 23015 airfoil cruise and landing configurations and NACA 64210 high lift configuration have been studied. ...

Abstract: More than 40 models have been established to date to determine the axial compressive behavior of noncircular (square or rectangular) concrete sections confined with fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) under concentric loadings. ...
