Wind Tunnels Applied to Wind Engineering in Japan
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many large boundary layer wind tunnels have been commissioned in Japan over the past 10 years, giving Japan a commanding lead in this area of technology. Some reasons for this extensive building program include the recent ...
Analysis and Modeling of the Transient Thermal Behavior of Automotive Turbochargers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Turbochargers are a key technology to deliver fuel consumption reductions on future internal combustion engines. However, the current industry standard modeling approaches assume the turbine and compressor operate under ...
Closure to “<i>Flow Velocities in Pipelines</i>” by Richard D. Pomeroy (August, 1983)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Bar Form Resistance in Gravel‐Bed Rivers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Resistance to flow in unvegetated gravel‐bed rivers is basically dependent on the skin resistance, due to surface bed material, and bar form resistance, due to accelerations and decelerations in the flow between pools and ...
Flow Velocities in Pipelines
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Most of the equations that have been developed for relating velocity of a stream in a partly filled pipe to the slope and size of the stream use hydraulic radius (R) as the parameter for Size. The equations using this ...
PLANETARY WAVES ON BETA-PLANES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The problem of linearized oscillations of the gaseous envelope of a rotating sphere (with periods in excess of a day) is considered using the ?-plane approximation. Two particular ?-planes are used?one centered at the ...
Numerical Modeling of Hailstorms and Hailstone Growth. Part III: Simulation of an Alberta Hailstorm—Natural and Seeded Cases
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper reports on simulations of a multicellular hailstorm case observed during the 1983 Alberta Hail Project. The field operations on that day concentrated on two successive feeder cells which were subjected to ...
Numerical Modeling of Hailstorms and Hailstone Growth. Part II: The Role of Low-Density Riming Growth in Hag Production
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The past several years have seen a renewed interest in the importance of low-density riming growth to the development of hailstones. This paper reports on the results of a study that incorporates the physical factors ...
