Discussion: Modeling Dry Weather Wastewater Flow in Sewer Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Application of a Discontinuous Galerkin Finite Element Method to Liquid Sloshing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin (RKDG) finite element method is applied to the liquid sloshing problem using the depth-averaged shallow water equations in a rotating frame of reference. A ...
Temperature and Melt Modeling on the Prince of Wales Ice Field, Canadian High Arctic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Near-surface temperature variability and net annual mass balance were monitored from May 2001 to April 2003 in a network of 25 sites on the Prince of Wales Ice Field, Ellesmere Island, Canada. The observational array spanned ...
A Validation of FEM3MP with Joint Urban 2003 Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Under the sponsorship of the U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. Department of Homeland Security, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model for simulating airflow and dispersion of chemical/biological agents released in ...
A General Framework for an “Unmixed Layer” PBL Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mixed-layer models are computationally efficient, but they do not realistically represent the structure of the boundary layer under many conditions. Many of the deficiencies of the mixed-layer model can be attributed to ...
Stably Stratified Interfacial-Layer Turbulence from Large-Eddy Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The structure of the interfacial layer capping the atmospheric boundary layer is not well understood. The dominant influence on turbulence within the interfacial layer is the stable stratification induced by the capping ...
In-Cloud Scavenging by Thermophoresis, Diffusiophoresis, and Brownian Diffusion
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The role of phoretic forces in providing an in-cloud scavenging mechanism is examined for the case of an evaporating cloud drop. A formula is presented which describes the coupled effects of diffusion and thermo- and ...
Lightning in the North American Monsoon: An Exploratory Climatology
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: emporal and spatial distributions of the North American monsoon have been studied previously with rainfall and satellite data. In the current study, the monsoon is examined with lightning data from Vaisala?s Global Lightning ...
Where Is the Real Cloud-to-Ground Lightning Maximum in North America?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A local maximum in cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning flash density over northwestern Mexico as measured by the U.S. National Lightning Detection Network is examined in detail. Corrections are derived for the relative detection ...
Coastal Circulations and Their Influence on Deposition Patterns in the Washington, D.C. Area
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The existence of coastal fronts and their effects on deposition patterns in the Washington, D.C. area are presented in this paper. The data are from an experiment conducted from October 1986 to March 1987. An earlier paper ...
