Abstract: Use of metalworking fluids during machining results in a mist that is associated with adverse health effects. Experiments conducted on a small lathe quantified the amount of mist generated by ...

Abstract: The theoretical skill of Monte Carlo approximations to the stochastic dynamic forecasting technique proposed by Epstein is examined by means of an extension of earlier atmospheric predictability studies that used the ...

Abstract: The first iteration of the recently developed nonlinear normal mode initialization procedure for primitive equation models leads to quasi-rotational dynamical and diagnostic equations agreeing with those of quasi-geostrephic ...

Abstract: Climate change studies with general circulation models require the estimation of climatic means by calculation of finite-time averages. A simple stochastic model is used to estimate the standard error of such an estimation ...

Abstract: The fluctuation-dissipation theorem of statistical mechanics, proved in this note for a system with two quadratic integrals of motion such as that of two-dimensional or geostrophic turbulence, relates, the mean response ...

Abstract: Recent observations indicate that the planetary-scale motions of the atmosphere obey some of the laws of two-dimensional turbulence. The eddy-damped Markovian approximation to two-dimensional turbulence is applied to these ...

Abstract: Based on the box method, finite-difference versions of a system of primitive equations in spherical coordinates are formulated for a spherical grid. Non-linear computational instability cannot occur in time integrations ...

Abstract: The primitive equations of motion in spherical coordinates are integrated with respect to time on global grids with mean horizontal resolutions of 500 and 250 km. There are nine levels in the models from 80 m to 28 km above ...

Abstract: The conjoint mechanical-chemical destruction of metals by accelerated cavitation in a magnetostriction apparatus indicates relative effects of the metal properties (hardness, metallurgical structure, ...

Abstract: The ?primitive equations of motion? are adopted for this study. The nine levels of the model are distributed so as to resolve surface boundary layer fluxes as well as radiative transfer by ozone, carbon dioxide, and water ...
