Abstract: Large-scale horizontal vortical structures are generic features of shallow flows which are often modeled using the two-dimensional (2D) depth-averaged equations. Such modeling is investigated for the well-defined case of ...

Abstract: Numerous studies have identified the regional-scale climate response to tropical deforestation through changes to water, energy, and momentum fluxes between the land surface and the atmosphere. There has been little research, ...

Abstract: High-cycle fatigue behavior of Nicalon™ fiber-reinforced calcium aluminosilicate (CAS) glass–ceramic matrix composites (Nicalon™/CAS) was investigated with the aid of a nondestructive evaluation (NDE) ...

Abstract: An automatic inertial dissipation system was used during three cruises of the RRS Discovery in the Southern Ocean to obtain a large dataset of open ocean wind stress estimates. The wind speed varied from near calm to 26 m ...

Abstract: Beneficial reuse as an alternative to disposal is increasingly being considered in management of contaminated sediments dredged from harbors. The risk of metal leaching into groundwater in reuse of phosphate and thermal ...

Abstract: Existing methods for the evaluation of liquefaction potential using data obtained from the Cone Penetration Test (CPT) are reviewed. A modified CPT‐based method for the liquefaction assessment of sand is presented. Information ...

Abstract: Standard bed-load sediment-transport formulas are extended using basic mechanical principles to include gravitational influence on large slopes of arbitrary orientation. The resulting sediment fluxes are then incorporated ...

Abstract: Previously published estimates of the surface turbulent fluxes over the North Atlantic Ocean have been compared by applying the calculation methods used by each author to a common dataset of ship observations. The major ...
