Abstract: Surface depressions significantly influence hydrologic processes. In traditional semidistributed models, however, the entire area is connected to the outlet of a watershed and surface depressions are often lumped as a ...

Abstract: mperfect physical parameterization schemes in a coupled climate model are an important source of model biases that adversely impact climate prediction. However, how observational information should be used to optimize ...

Abstract: Flutter is a self-excited and self-sustained aero-elastic instability, caused by the positive feedback between structural vibration and aerodynamic forces. A two-passage linear turbine cascade was designed, built, and ...

Abstract: variational method is used to estimate wave-affected parameters in a two-equation turbulence model with assimilation of temperature data into an ocean boundary layer model. Enhancement of turbulent kinetic energy dissipation ...

Abstract: The influences of blade loading profile on wake convection and wake/wake interaction were studied in two different blade designs for high-pressure (HP) turbines (front-loaded (FL) and aft-loaded (AL)), installed in linear ...

Abstract: This work, a continuation of a series of investigations on the aerodynamics of aggressive interturbine ducts (ITD), is aimed at providing detailed understanding of the flow physics and loss mechanisms in four different ITD ...

Abstract: new, fully conserved minimal adjustment scheme with temperature and salinity (T, S) coherency is presented for eliminating false static instability generated from analyzing and assimilating stable ocean (T, S) profiles ...

Abstract: Fractional order controllers become increasingly popular due to their versatility and superiority in various performances. However, the bottleneck in deploying these tools in practice is related to their analog or numerical ...
