Abstract: arameterizing deep convection at model resolutions of a few kilometers or less requires diverging from several simplifying assumptions valid at coarser resolutions. The separation or complementarity between the deep-convection ...

Abstract: Due to its prohibitive computational cost, variational nonlinear normal mode initialization has received little interest during the last 10 years. Recently, soon after the introduction of the framework now called implicit ...

Abstract: The degree of imbalance forced by deep convection in a three-dimensional variational analysis scheme (3DVAR) is examined. Simulated surface precipitation rates are used with various degree of errors together with different ...

Abstract: The study of a continuous-time multivariable linear system may not need the knowledge of the entire internal state vector, but only of a linear function of it. In this case, instead of designing a complete observer, only ...

Abstract: Results given in this paper are threefold. In the case of Hertzian line contact, a new load/deformation relationship is derived analytically and use is made of the thickness of the outer race ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the dissipation associated with quasistatic microcracking of brittle materials exhibiting softening behavior. For this purpose an elastodamaging cohesive zone model is used, ...

Abstract: This paper reviews the Belgian history of nuclear technology and its use for power generation, from the beginning in 1942 until now. It identifies the main players in the field, and the major ...

Abstract: In the present work, the annular static gaskets are considered as porous media and Darcy’s law is written for a steady radial flow of a compressible gas with a first order slip boundary ...

Abstract: Roller/race misalignment and deformation are used for calculating analytically the pressure distribution along the roller/race contact and the final roller/race load and moment. Use is made of ...
