Abstract: In southern California the delivery of inland sediments to the coast is important for shoreline stability and the preservation of natural beach areas. During the past several decades, changes in land use and the construction ...

Abstract: The high Reynolds number pump (HIREP) facility at ARL Penn State has been used to perform a low-speed, large-scale experiment of the incompressible flow of water through a two-blade-row ...

Abstract: Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) is an advanced low-temperature combustion technology being considered for internal combustion engines due to its potential for high fuel conversion ...

Abstract: This paper describes the redesign of the HP turbine of the Rolls-Royce Trent 500 engine, making use of nonaxisymmetric end walls. The original, datum turbine used conventional axisymmetric end ...

Abstract: AbstractSubmesoscale dynamics play a key role in setting the stratification of the ocean surface mixed layer and mediating air?sea exchange, making them especially relevant to anthropogenic carbon uptake and primary ...

Abstract: A linear design system, already in use for the forward and inverse design of three-dimensional turbine aerofoils, has been extended for the design of their end walls. This paper shows how ...

Abstract: The acceleration and base shear of structures during strong ground motion can be attenuated by achieving bilinear-elastic behavior without any permanent displacement—also referred to as “apparent weakening.” The negative ...

Abstract: The peak deformation, acceleration, and the base shear experienced by the structures can be reduced by simulating yielding in an elastic system—also referred as
