RISStastical Studies on Thunderstorm Situations in the Netherlands
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Records from a network of volunteer thunderstorm observers in the Netherlands are used with routine synoptic and upper-air data to investigate relations between storm severity and almost simultaneous (just prior) meteorological ...
On the Normal Component of Centralized Frictionless Collision Sequences
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A typical assumption for rigid body collisions with multiple impact points is that all collisions occur simultaneously and are synchronized in their compression/expansion behavior, a useful ...
Socially Robust River Management: Role of Perspective Dependent Acceptability Thresholds
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Different river management strategies have different impacts on the water system. Depending on how the future unfolds (e.g., in terms of climate change) impacts on navigation, flood damage, and nature are shaped. ...
The Role of Deep Convection and Strong Winds Aloft In Triggering Gales Over the Persian Gulf: Comparative Case Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A situation that led to rapid developmont of strong winds over the, Northern Persian Gulf is compared with a similar situation in which gales were anticipated but did not occur. In both cases, cold air accumulated over ...
Locks with Devices to Reduce Salt Intrusion
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Navigation locks can strongly influence the water management of an area (both quantity and quality) especially if they belong to a retaining dike separating saltwater from fresh water. Then these locks consume fresh water ...
A Climatology of Tornadoes in Europe: Results from the European Severe Weather Database
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: climatology of tornadoes (over land and water) is presented, based on the European Severe Weather Database (ESWD), which contains reports of 9529 tornadoes. With the exception of a few small countries, tornadoes have been ...
Application of Computational Fluid Dynamics and Process Modeling to Investigate Low-Load Operation of a Subcritical Utility-Scale Boiler
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To enable the inclusion of intermittent renewable energy sources on existing power grids requires base-load coal-fired power plants to operate flexibly, including fast load changes and continuous low-load operation. Low-load ...
Thermal Repair of Incomplete Back Contact Insulation (P1) in Cu(In,Ga)Se2 Photovoltaic Thin Film Modules
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We investigate the repair of interruptions in the back contact (P1) scribing line between two Mo back electrodes by thermally induced fractures. The fractures occur during Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) absorber coevaporation, as it ...
Design and Experimental Verification of Mistuning of a Supersonic Turbine Blisk
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A rotor blisk of a supersonic space turbine has previously been designed to allow for free flutter to occur in an air test rig (, and , 2010, “Experimental and Computational Fluid Dynamics ...
