Abstract: A nested grid, nonhydrostatic, elastic model using a terrain-following coordinate transformation is presented with a unique application of grid-nesting techniques to the time-splitting elastic model. To minimize the wave ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of wind shear on gravity currents in a neutral atmosphere by using a two-dimensional, nonhydrostatic primitive equation model. The depth of the gravity current is found ...

Abstract: The effect of coolant addition or “mixing loss” on aerodynamic performance is formulated for the turbine, where mixing takes place between gas streams of different compositions as well as static temperatures. To do this, ...

Abstract: In this paper, responses of a mistuned bladed disk assembly are examined and compared for three types of excitations: uncorrelated narrow band random excitations, correlated narrow band random ...

Abstract: Using nondimensional variables, the performances of friction dampers of a mistuned bladed disk assembly are examined for different types of excitation: white noise excitation, independent narrow ...

Abstract: The stability of a spherical bubble in a two-component two-phase system is examined by employing the thermodynamic theory of dilute solutions. It is shown that a bubble can remain in a state ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the statistics of the response of a mistuned bladed disk assembly subjected to random excitation. Analytical techniques are developed to compute this statistics for two ...

Abstract: n this paper, precursors to the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and its transitions are investigated to understand the dynamical cause of the interdecadal NAO variability from dominant negative (NAO?) events during 1950?77 ...

Abstract: Excessive vibration in largecapacity turbine generators can lead to expensive repairs and downtime with associated loss of operational income. Therefore, it is vital to detect the rubbing location in the rotor system at ...
