Abstract: A prediction model, which describes linear relationship between the nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions and the incylinder heat release rate in a directinjection diesel engine, was developed through numerical simulations. A ...

Abstract: In our previous work, a general particle filter based Bayesian method was proposed to derive the graphical relationship between wavelet parameters, including center frequency and bandwidth, and to posteriorly find optimal ...

Abstract: Coastal-trapped waves are studied in a two-layered, non-flat shelf model. Internal Kelvin wave and quasi-geostrophic waves appear as eigenmodes of the system. The latter reduce to the familiar barotropic shelf waves only ...

Abstract: Diffraction of continental shelf waves by irregular alongshore geometry, such as ridges, canyons and bumps, is examined. The full barotropic, shelf-wave equation is treated, and the solutions include forward and back ...

Abstract: Nontidal circulation in Chesapeake Bay was examined from one-month current records at 50 and 200 km from the entrance. The monthly mean flow was basically a two-layered circulation; in addition, there were large wind-driven ...

Abstract: Subtidal sea level variations in the Chesapeake Bay were examined over a one-year period for evidence of wind-driven barotropic circulation. The major transport occurred at time scales of 3?5 days, whose magnitude was ...

Abstract: Csanady's (1978) theory on the mean shelf circulation in a homogeneous ocean was re-examined by including effects of a continental slope. The results suggested that the mean southwestward flow on the Mid-Atlantic Blight ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional, finite-difference model is developed to study limited-area (island) shelf circulation. The model uses a semi-implicit scheme in the cross-shore dimension and a mode-splitting technique in the vertical ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional primitive-equation model was used to study gravity currents produced by instantaneous releases of a buoyant fluid in a rectangular channel. Without rotation, the gravity current passes through two ...
