The Influence of Successive Thermals on Entrainment and Dilution in a Simulated Cumulus Congestus
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractCumulus clouds are frequently observed as comprising multiple successive thermals, yet numerical simulations of entrainment have not investigated this level of detail. Here, an idealized simulated cumulus congestus ...
Computation of Effective Thermal Conductivity of Powders for Selective Laser Sintering Simulations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this work, a discrete element model (DEM) is developed and implemented in the open source flow solver MFiX to simulate the effective thermal conductivity of powder beds for selective laser sintering (SLS) applications, ...
Cloud-Spacing Effects upon Entrainment and Rainfall along a Convective Line
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractCumulus clouds modify their immediate surroundings by detraining their warm, humid updrafts. When clouds are closely spaced, this conditioning of the local environment may alter the properties of the air entrained ...
Use of Detailed Particle Melt Modeling to Calculate Effective Melt Properties for Powders
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Selective laser melting (SLM) is a widely used powder-based additive manufacturing process. However, it can be difficult to predict how process inputs affect the quality of parts produced. Computational modeling has been ...
A Multisensor Investigation of Rime Splintering in Tropical Maritime Cumuli
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: hree flights from the Ice in Clouds Experiment?Tropical (ICE-T) field campaign examined the onset of ice near the ascending cloud tops of tropical maritime cumuli as they cooled from 0° to ?14°C. Careful quantitative ...
On Different Microphysical Pathways to Convective Rainfall
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ABSTRACTThe Convective Precipitation Experiment (COPE) documented the dynamical and microphysical evolution of convection in southwestern England for testing and improving quantitative precipitation forecasting. A strong ...
The Convective Precipitation Experiment (COPE): Investigating the Origins of Heavy Precipitation in the Southwestern United Kingdom
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Convective Precipitation Experiment (COPE) was a joint U.K.?U.S. field campaign held during the summer of 2013 in the southwest peninsula of England, designed to study convective clouds that produce heavy rain leading ...
