Abstract: An experimental study has been made to compare the frictional resistance of several ship hull coatings in the unfouled, fouled, and cleaned conditions. Hydrodynamic tests were completed in a ...

Abstract: Over the past several years there has been rapid growth in the marketplace for geosciences, geoenvironmental, and related engineering services. This trend is expected to continue well into the 1990s and perhaps beyond. In ...

Abstract: This paper demonstrates that the two so-called “conceptual errors” which are claimed to exist in the modified compression field theory are actually conceptual errors about the modified compression field theory.

Abstract: Turbulent boundary layer measurements have been made on surfaces covered with filamentous marine algae. These experiments were conducted in a closed return water tunnel using a two-component, ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation has been carried out to document and relate the frictional resistance and roughness texture of painted surfaces smoothed by sanding. Hydrodynamic tests were carried ...

Abstract: Mixing ratios of stratospheric constituents can be inferred from satellite- or balloon-based infrared solar occultation measurements. The nonlinear system of equations that relates the measurements to the mixing ratios is ...

Abstract: A priori estimates of the vertical distribution of tropospheric water vapor are needed to solve the radiative transfer equation in the 15 ?m CO2 band to derive tropospheric temperatures from radiances measured at orbiting ...

Abstract: A kaleidoscopic view of the many diverse and interesting instabilities are presented, to which cylindrical structures are susceptible when in contact with flowing fluids. The physical mechanisms ...
