Abstract: The rain analyzer is an instrument with which the main part of the raindrop size spectrum can be determined. During measurements of the rain attenuation of millimeter waves, rainfall was recorded both with rain analyzers ...

Abstract: he formation of a convective cloud system as a result of a katabatic-induced surface cold front at the eastern Andes Mountains of South America was investigated in a numerical model study. The occurrence of this cloud ...

Abstract: he Satellite Application Facility on Climate Monitoring (CM-SAF) focuses on retrieving geophysical parameters from satellite data by using inversion schemes that are based on radiative transfer theory. In this study, the ...

Abstract: he compressible Euler equations exhibit wave phenomena on different scales. A suitable spatial discretization results in partitioned ordinary differential equations where fast and slow modes are present. Generalized ...

Abstract: Recent developments in turbomachinery design require an improved prediction accuracy of blade vibrations to maintain safe operations. This article aims to investigate the accuracy of numerical aeroelastic approaches for ...

Abstract: The design process of turbomachinery is often constraint by aeroelastic phenomena. The design choices are limited by possible structural failure, which can be caused by high vibration amplitudes. In particular, damping has ...

Abstract: Nonharmonic acoustic resonance was detected in the static pressure and sound signals in a four-stage high-speed axial compressor when the compressor was operating close to the surge limit. Based ...

Abstract: Geometrical variations occur in highly loaded turbine blades due to operation and regeneration. To determine the influence of such regenerationinduced variances of turbine blades on the aerodynamic excitation, a typical ...

Abstract: Due to the legislative efforts of promoting renewable energy sources, electricity from these sources is preferentially fed into the electrical grid. This requires more frequent partand lowload operation of peakand even of ...

Abstract: The correct prediction of the temperature distribution is a prerequisite for the reliable determination of species and current distributions in any solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) model. It is ...
