Network-Based Simulation of Aircraft at Gates in Airport Terminals
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Simulation is becoming an essential tool for planning, design, and management of airport facilities. A simulation of aircraft at gates at an airport can be applied for various periodically performed applications, relating ...
The Impact Energy of a Moored Tanker Under the Action of Regular Waves
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The influence that factors such as mooring line conditions, fender arrangements, dolphin arrangements, degree of ship loading, waves of long period, wave direction, and wind on the impact energy ...
The Action of Irregular Waves on Ships Moored on Terminals
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: For the analysis of the dynamic characteristics of ships moored at the offshore terminals under the action of wind waves, the moored ship system may be simplified to be linear. Introducing ...
Developing Case-Based Communities of Practice for Teaching the Legal Aspects of Construction: Lessons Learned in Taiwan
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To enhance the learning for graduate students to understand legal issues and dispute resolution in the construction industry, students can be provided with a learning platform for exchanging and sharing knowledge and ...
Surface Fluctuations Associated with Tropical Cyclone Rainbands Observed near Taiwan during 2000–08
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ith radar measurements and temporally high-resolution surface observations, this study investigates surface fluctuations associated with tropical cyclone rainbands (TCRs) observed in the vicinity of Taiwan during 2000?08. ...
Formation and Maintenance of a Long-Lived Taiwan Rainband during 1–3 March 2003
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: aiwan rainbands (TRs), defined here as convective lines, which form off the mountainous eastern coast of Taiwan under weakly synoptically forced weather conditions, are a well-known mesoscale phenomenon, but their formative ...
A New Tailpipe Design for GE Frame-Type Gas Turbines to Substantially Lower Pressure Losses
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Many GE frame gas turbines have a unique 90-deg tailpipe exhaust system that contains struts, diffusers, and turning vanes. As confirmed in a recent report by GE and other authors, it is ...
Distribution and Mechanisms of Orographic Precipitation Associated with Typhoon Morakot (2009)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sing a combination of Doppler radar observations and rain gauge data, this study documents detailed aspects of the orographic precipitation associated with Typhoon Morakot (2009). Rainfall distribution over underlying ...
Structural and Surface Features of Arc-Shaped Radar Echoes along an Outer Tropical Cyclone Rainband
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study uses ground-based dual-Doppler radar and surface observations to document the structural and surface features of the arc-shaped radar echoes (ASREs) evident along an outer rainband of Typhoon Longwang as it ...
Formation of the Convective Lines off the Mountainous Coast of Southeastern Taiwan: A Case Study of 3 January 2004
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Convective lines frequently occurring off the mountainous coast of southeastern Taiwan under weakly synoptically forced weather conditions are one of the most well-known mesoscale phenomena in Taiwan. These lines usually ...
