Abstract: A wind-tunnel study has been carried out to investigate the effects of the barrier wall and surface roughness on the simulated atmospheric boundary-layer (ABL) flow generated using the Counihan method, (i.e., the castellated ...

Abstract: bservations of upper-ocean dynamics close to the critical latitude (ratio of the local inertial to diurnal frequency is 0.94) from a range of platforms (surface currents using HF radar, moored instruments, and satellite ...

Abstract: Downslope crosswind bora gusts impacting vehicles represent a significant traffic safety issue, and vehicles on bridges are particularly vulnerable to such crosswinds. Wind tunnel experiments were carried out to investigate ...

Abstract: Surface roughness, ice accretion, and atmospheric turbulence are important issues because they can considerably alter the aerodynamic characteristics of bridge cables. The present study describes wind-tunnel experiments ...

Abstract: Wind barriers are nowadays commonly placed on bridges to protect vehicles from adverse cross-wind effects. In addition to this beneficial influence, wind barriers may adversely affect the bridge dynamic stability. This is ...

Abstract: An important aspect that must be considered in harbor design and construction is the water quality within the basin, which depends on the water exchange between the harbor and surrounding water body. Of the most internationally ...

Abstract: Ice accretion can considerably alter aerodynamic characteristics of bridge cables. The present study focuses on flow characteristics in the cable wake for three arrangements of ice accretion on the cable surface. This is ...

Abstract: The aim of the study was to evaluate the toxicity and biodegradability of

Abstract: Based on the critical velocity model, impact and capture efficiencies in an AGTB turbine cascade are investigated numerically under various inlet angles of mainstream, blowing ratios, particle sizes, and particle densities. ...
