Abstract: A method for the two-dimensional analysis of the separated flow about Savonius rotors is presented. Calculations are performed by combining the singularity method and the discrete vortex method. ...

Abstract: A cyclone dust collector (called herein a cyclone) is applied in many industrial fields, for example, powder technology, combustion chambers, various chemical plants, etc. Until now, there are ...

Abstract: Elastic solutions of a rotating solid disk made of cubic anisotropic material are obtained using direct displacement method. Displacement, strain, and stress distributions within the disk are ...

Abstract: Some methods have been investigated both theoretically and experimentally to reduce the fluctuating torques in the driving shafts caused by the inertia forces in the crank-and-rocker mechanisms; ...

Abstract: Surface broadband emissivity in the thermal infrared region is an important parameter for the studies of the surface energy balance. This paper focuses on estimating a broadband window emissivity from the Advanced Spaceborne ...

Abstract: Any inversion algorithm that ignores the wavenumber dependence of the surface emissivity could cause systematic errors in the retrieval of atmospheric trace gas concentrations from high-resolution nadir radiances. The error ...

Abstract: AbstractWhile the climatological-mean sensible and latent heat fluxes are remarkably well described using climatological-mean fields in the bulk flux formulas, this study shows that a significant fraction of the ...

Abstract: This paper describes a diagram which can be used to assess easily some of the trade offs involved in water quality management decisions. The diagram incorporates wastewater treatment costs, effluent quality, receiving ...

Abstract: A simulation methodology was developed for evaluating the flood mitigation potential of inland wetlands. The methodology accommodates widely used computer models with generally available input data. Being a watershed ...
