Abstract: In this paper, the radiative properties of electron beam physical vapor deposition (EBPVD) and air plasma sprayed (APS) partially yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) have been comparatively ...

Abstract: The steady, axisymmetric base flow and instabilities in a rotating liddriven cylinder are investigated experimentally via ultrasonic Doppler velocimetry and verified with computations. The flow is governed by two parameters: ...

Abstract: Suction caissons have recently been considered as potential anchoring solutions for floating renewable devices (wind turbines and wave energy converters) in shallow waters, where—unlike for floating oil and gas applications ...

Abstract: A 44-yr climatology of spring Asian dust aerosol emission, column loading, deposition, trans-Pacific transport routes, and budgets during 1960?2003 was simulated with the Northern Aerosol Regional Climate Model (NARCM). ...

Abstract: his work is motivated by previous studies of transatlantic transport of Saharan dust and the observed quasi-static nature of coarse mode aerosol with a volume median diameter (VMD) of approximately 3.5 ?m. The authors ...
