Abstract: It has proven difficult to describe the kinematics in irregular waves satisfactorily, in particular for the surface zone in broad-banded waves. A Lagrangian approach offers distinct advantages ...

Abstract: Accidental release of liquid from a storage tank, and the subsequent spillage over the surrounding embankment is considered. The present analysis is based on two simplifying assumptions: (1) The supercritical flow over the ...

Abstract: Multidimensional advection schemes based on the forward-upstream discretization are presented that with only one corrective step produce solutions comparable to the most accurate solutions produced by the multidimensional ...

Abstract: Phonation results from the passively induced oscillation of the vocal folds in the larynx, creating sound waves that are then articulated by the mouth and nose. Patients undergoing laryngectomy have their vocal folds removed ...

Abstract: The microrotation viscosity is an essential fluid property in micropolar fluid dynamics. By considering a dilute suspension of inertial spherical pointparticles in an otherwise Newtonian fluid, an explicit analytical ...

Abstract: Hydraulic models differing from prototype scale are affected by model effects. Despite these effects, which are often negligible, they may become important in very small scales involving, for instance, small water depths. ...

Abstract: The paper describes the development and description of the aerodynamic models used to estimate the aerodynamic loads on wind turbine constructions. This includes a status of the capabilities of ...

Abstract: Input saturation is a well-known nonlinearity in mechanical control systems; it constrains the maximum acceleration, which results in the limitation of the system response time. Input saturation ...
