Abstract: The trend to high-density packaging in surface mount assembly has highlighted inherent difficulties in the assembly line of these very fine pitch devices. A variety of defects is still common ...

Abstract: While we were discussing the rapid increase in Large Eddy Simulation (LES) papers submitted to the Journal of Fluids Engineering (JFE) several years ago, Joe Katz, the editor in chief of JFE, ...

Abstract: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has established itself as a viable technique for performing research and solving engineering problems, and when used correctly, can give accurate results for ...

Abstract: A nonlinear turbulence model for numerical solution of uniform channel flow is presented. Turbulent stresses are evaluated from a nonlinear mixing length model that relates turbulent stresses to quadratic products of the ...

Abstract: Extreme high still water levels (EHSWLs) are calculated at four tide stations located along North San Francisco Bay for a range of return periods. The observed hourly still water level varying from 7 years to 122 years ...

Abstract: The dynamic characteristics of fluctuating pressure measuring systems composed of connection tubing and pressure transducers were analyzed. A method of correction for the effects of resonance and viscous damping on the ...

Abstract: This study implements a new land-cover classification and surface albedo from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) in the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?National Center for Atmospheric ...

Abstract: This paper presents an approach to quantify the discretization error as well as other errors related to mesh size using the error transport equation (ETE) technique on a single grid computation. ...
