Abstract: Long dry spells (sequence of dry days) are rare events, but they are important because they correlate significantly with the area burned during bad wildfire years. Previous attempts to model the frequency of dry spells ...

Abstract: Power spectra of mesoscale eddies with periods ranging from 10 min to 8 hr were computed for the months of January and July from three years of surface wind data obtained at Columbia, Mo. To educe the degree of determinism ...

Abstract: A mathematical model is developed to predict the microclimatic modification of air near the ground by the evaporation of an ultrafine water mist. The model equations with realistic parameters and boundary values are solved ...

Abstract: Abstract. Gas turbine designers demand accurate predictions of metal temperature to ensure acceptable operating life of components experiencing high thermal stress. Rotor–stator cavities ingest hot mainstream gas through ...
