RISModeling Arbitrarily Shaped Liquid Pipelines Using a Segmented Transmission Line Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a new method of simulating the dynamic flow and pressure of laminar liquid flow through pipes of arbitrarily changing cross section. This method uses a segmented model based on the previously presented ...
Improving Performance of a Switched Inertance Buck Converter Via Positioning of Reservoir Flow Valve
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A typical switched inertance buck converter includes digital valves controlling the flow of fluid to the load from the pressure supply and also from the reservoir. These valves are typically located at the same position, ...
Ray Tracing Using Radial Basis Function Networks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a numerical method of tracing of sound or other refracted rays through a medium with arbitrarily varying refractive index. The method uses a radial basis function (RBF) network to define the refractive ...
Closure to “Strengthening Two-Way Reinforced Concrete Floor Slabs Using Polypropylene Fiber Reinforcement” by Matthew J. Radik, Ece Erdogmus, and Travis Schafer

Decadal Variability in the South Pacific Subtropical Countercurrent and Regional Mesoscale Eddy Activity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ecadal variability of eddy activity in the western, subtropical South Pacific is examined using the past two decades of satellite altimetry data. Between 21° and 29°S, there is a band of heightened eddy activity. In this ...
Data Mining Storm Attributes from Spatial Grids
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A technique to identify storms and capture scalar features within the geographic and temporal extent of the identified storms is described. The identification technique relies on clustering grid points in an observation ...
On the Origin of Ultraviolet Contrasts on Venus
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Models for the origin of the contrasts in the ultraviolet images of Venus are examined in an attempt to determine the physical differences between light and dark regions fundamental to a clear understanding of the apparent ...
An Objective Method of Evaluating and Devising Storm-Tracking Algorithms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Although storm-tracking algorithms are a key ingredient of nowcasting systems, evaluation of storm-tracking algorithms has been indirect, labor intensive, or nonspecific. A set of easily computable bulk statistics that can ...
Nature of the Atmospheric Dynamics on Venus from Power Spectrum Analysis of Mariner 10 Images
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mariner 10 Venus images are analyzed into power spectra of the brightness field for planetary zonal wavenumbers n≥3 and for latitudes from 55°?25°N. These spectra are examined for significant features and latitudinal ...
Evaluating Alternative Drought Indicators in a Weather Index Insurance Instrument
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractWeather index insurance is a popular means of mitigating agricultural risks. Drought is a significant cause of lost agricultural production, and so precipitation index?based plans are common. Simple ?percent of ...
