Abstract: This study reports the development of tangent-linear and adjoint models for a vector radiative transfer model called TAMU-VRTM. This vector radiative transfer model is further validated in the case of the atmosphere–ocean ...

Abstract: Atmospheric particles exhibit various sizes and nonspherical shapes, which are factors that primarily determine the physical–optical properties of particles. The “sizes” of nonspherical particles can be specified based on ...

Abstract: To obtain the action force between the reinforcing material and filler in reinforced soil, many scholars at home and abroad have conducted pullout tests, which are limited by the testing apparatus. Most of them have studied ...

Abstract: Taking account of temperature and the effect of pressure difference and inertia force on oil film, the analytic solutions for pressure, radial velocity, and transferred torque were derived. The ...

Abstract: Shallow landslides often occur in the vast majority of expansive soil cutting slopes during or after rainfall, resulting in newly-built highway traffic disruption, ecological environment destruction along roads, and high ...

Abstract: Heat transfer across the interfaces of dissimilar materials is a critical consideration in a wide variety of scientific and engineering applications. In this paper, molecular dynamics (MD) ...

Abstract: To probe the particle effect on gas-liquid mass transfer in three-phase flow, a series of comparative tests was conducted in a stirred reactor with flat gas-liquid interface in which four kinds of solid particles, ...

Abstract: Engineering problems with expansive soils in subgrades complicate highway construction in expansive soil areas of China. To research and solve the engineering problems, a Chinese research group carried out extensive research ...

Abstract: Measurements of mean velocities, turbulence intensities, and Reynolds stresses are presented for spatially periodic flows in a duct of width-to-height ratio 2 with a detached solid-rib array. The ...
