Abstract: The effects of forcing and dissipation are incorporated into finite amplitude, local wave-activity relations for disturbances to zonal and nonzonal flows. The method used is an extension of the momentum?Casimir and ...

Abstract: As in all areas relevant to the development and production of pumps the tasks the hydraulic engineer has to deal with have undergone a remarkable change in recent decades: from a more or ...

Abstract: Fiber-reinforced concrete used in structural applications requires characteristic material properties that can be easily incorporated into existing design procedures. This paper investigates the postcracking response of ...

Abstract: The hypothesis that the zonal motions in the Jovian atmosphere are thermal winds and that the latitudinal cloud bands are caused by baroclinic instabilities under nongeostrophic conditions is investigated. The stability ...

Abstract: Bergeron first suggested that atmospheric frontogenesis is caused by horizontal wind deformation fields acting on pre-existing horizontal temperature gradients. A three-dimensional time-dependent mathematical model of the ...

Abstract: Fundamental concepts of tension stiffening are used to explain why Branson’s equation for the effective moment of inertia

Abstract: The local convective mass transfer (i.e., the mass transfer as a function of polar angle) of smooth and rough particles has been investigated with an electrochemiluminescence technique at a Schmidt number Sc ≈ 103 for ...
