Enlarged Asymmetry of Tropical Pacific Rainfall Anomalies Induced by El Niño and La Niña under Global Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractEl Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is one of the most important sources of climate interannual variability. A prominent characteristic of ENSO is the asymmetric, or so-called nonlinear, local rainfall response to ...
Interfacial Instabilities in Stratified Shear Flows Involving Multiple Viscous and Viscoelastic Fluids
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article reviews recent developments in the analysis of interfacial instabilities in systems involving multiple viscous and viscoelastic fluids. The scope of the review is limited to three ...
Choked Gas Flow at Pore Scale and Its Implications to Production From High Pressure Gas Wells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Production from a highpressure gas well at a high production rate encounters the risk of wellbore tensile failure when the pressure gradient of the averaged gas flow becomes large. At the porescale, however, when flow in ...
The Effects of Large Blood Vessels on Temperature Distributions During Simulated Hyperthermia
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Several three-dimensional vascular models have been developed to study the effects of adding equations for large blood vessels to the traditional bioheat transfer equation of Pennes when simulating ...
Analysis of Unsteady Tip and Endwall Heat Transfer in a Highly Loaded Transonic Turbine Stage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In a previous study, vane-rotor shock interactions and heat transfer on the rotor blade of a highly loaded transonic turbine stage were simulated. The geometry consists of a high pressure ...
Possible Effect of the Thermal Condition of the Tibetan Plateau on the Interannual Variability of the Summer Asian–Pacific Oscillation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe summer (June?August) Asian?Pacific Oscillation (APO), a large-scale atmospheric teleconnection pattern, is closely associated with climate anomalies over the Northern Hemisphere. Using the NOAA/CIRES twentieth-century ...
Weakening of the Tropical Atmospheric Circulation Response to Local Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies under Global Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractIn the tropics, the atmospheric circulation response to sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies is a crucial part of the tropical air?sea interaction?the primary process of tropical climate. How it will change under ...
Highly Compressible Porous Media Flow near a Wellbore: Effect of Gas Acceleration
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A fundamental study on porous medium flow of a highly compressible gas near a wellbore is carried out. The effect of gas acceleration is assessed quantitatively. It is shown that gas acceleration ...
Improved Cartesian Coordinate Finite Difference Simulations of Small Cylindrical Objects
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An analytical, cylindrical coordinate formula for the thermal resistance around small cylindrical objects has been incorporated into finite difference equations in Cartesian coordinates to improve ...
Design and Stress Analysis of a New Quick-Opening Seal Device Connected by D-Shaped Shearing Bolts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Because of large scale and heavy weight, end closures of high pressure vessels are usually hard to assemble and disassemble. In this paper, a new quick-opening seal device connected by D-shaped ...
