A Modal Analysis of Coastally Trapped Waves Generated by Tropical Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors use numerical simulations of the shallow-water equations to study the generation of coastally trapped waves by localized forcing mechanisms. The model parameters are chosen to be typical for coastal ocean ...
A Numerical Study of the Storm Surge Generated by Tropical Cyclone Jane
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In 1983 Tropical Cyclone Jane crossed the North West Coast of Australia generating a storm surge. Currents associated with this storm surge were recorded at two offshore moorings south of the cyclone track. The data from ...
The Impact of a Bottom Boundary Layer Scheme on the North Atlantic Ocean in a Global Coupled Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Although the overflow and descent of cold, dense water across the Greenland?Iceland?Scotland ridge is the principal means for the maintenance of the thermohaline circulation in the North Atlantic Ocean, this feature is not ...
Improved Leveling Approach and Its Application in Civil Engineering
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An improved leveling method based on an updated definition of leveling is proposed for application in civil engineering projects. The approach is defined as the measurement of the elevation difference between the elevation ...
Multi-Phase Rate Transient Behaviors of the Multi-Fractured Horizontal Well With Complex Fracture Networks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Complex fracture networks (CFN) provide flow channels and significantly affect well performance in unconventional reservoirs. However, traditional rate transient analysis (RTA) models barely consider the effect of CFN on ...
Experimental Research on an Embedded Heat Source Vapor Chamber for Aerospace Electronic Cooling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this work, an embedded heat source vapor chamber (EHS-VC) is proposed for efficient and cost-effective heat dissipation in a limited space of aerospace electronics. The effect of the filling liquid mass and the layers ...
Study on a Vapor Feed Air Breathing Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Assisted by a Catalytic Combustor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Feeding vaporized methanol to the direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) helps reduce the effects of methanol crossover (MCO) and facilitates the use of highconcentration or neat methanol so as to enhance the energy density of ...
A Numerical Study of Storm Surges and Tides, with Application to the North Queensland Coast
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-dimensional numerical model of the shallow-water equations, with a modified Orlanski-type radiation boundary condition, is applied to study storm surges and tides on the North Queensland coast. The numerical simulations ...
Investigations on the Condensation Heat Transfer Performance of Stainless Steel Edge Shaped Finned Tubes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The thirdgeneration enhanced heat transfer technologies, such as threedimensional fin and dimple, are still important means of improving energy efficiency. This paper analyzes the condensation heat transfer performances ...
Impact of Complex Fracture Networks on Rate Transient Behavior of Wells in Unconventional Reservoirs Based on Embedded Discrete Fracture Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: It has recently been demonstrated that complex fracture networks (CFNs) especially activated natural fractures (ANF) play an important role in unconventional reservoir development. However, traditional rate transient ...
