Abstract: The technical and economic characteristics of optimized solar energy systems can be expressed in a concise mathematical expression and this expression manipulated to show the dependence of total ...

Abstract: The purpose of this work is to develop a computationally efficient model of viral spread that can be utilized to better understand the influences of stochastic factors on a large-scale system – such as the air traffic ...

Abstract: A procedure is presented for estimating surge response to turbulent wind in the presence of current and waves. The procedure accounts for the nonlinearity of the hydrodynamic forces with respect to surge and for the coupling ...

Abstract: The implementation of an integral transition model in a parallel unstructured computational fluid dynamics code is described. In particular, an algorithm for gathering the nonlocal boundary layer ...

Abstract: This paper addresses a knowledge gap that exists for citywide or neighborhood-wide applications of onsite water-conserving technologies, such as rainwater and graywater systems. A framework is developed for evaluating ...

Abstract: This work studies the practicality of using finite-time Lyapunov exponents (FTLEs) to detect the inception of parametric resonance for vessels operating in irregular longitudinal seas. Parametrically ...

Abstract: Thermal stability is an important characteristic of alternative fuels that must be evaluated before they can be used in aviation engines. Thermal stability refers to the degree to which a fuel breaks down when it is heated ...

Abstract: An analysis of traveling microbursts in unidirectionally sheared environments is undertaken using a three-dimensional numerical model with 50-m resolution in a 19 ? 12 ? 4 km domain. For each run, the cooling source is ...
