RISNonlinear Piecewise Restoring Force in Hydrokinetic Power Conversion Using Flow-Induced Vibrations of Two Tandem Cylinders
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Flow-induced vibrations (FIVs) of two tandem, rigid, circular cylinders with piecewise continuous restoring force are investigated for Reynolds number 24,000 ≤ Re ≤ 120,000 with damping, and restoring force function as ...
Simulation of an Extratropical Cyclone in the Southern Hemisphere: Model Sensitivity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A rapidly deepening cyclone that occurred over the South Pacific on 5 September 1987 was investigated in order to assess the possible factors contributing to its development. Cyclogenesis took place when a disturbance in ...
Observed Trends in Indices of Daily Temperature Extremes in South America 1960–2000
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A workshop on enhancing climate change indices in South America was held in Maceió, Brazil, in August 2004. Scientists from eight southern countries brought daily climatological data from their region for a meticulous ...
Trends in Total and Extreme South American Rainfall in 1960–2000 and Links with Sea Surface Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A weeklong workshop in Brazil in August 2004 provided the opportunity for 28 scientists from southern South America to examine daily rainfall observations to determine changes in both total and extreme rainfall. Twelve ...
