RISProfiling the Desirable CAD Trainee: Technical Background, Personality Attributes, and Learning Preferences
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This research aims to explore some of the underlying reasoning for why some individuals acquire mechanical computer-aided design (CAD) skills with relative ease while some others seem to falter. ...
A Second-Moment Closure Model of Langmuir Turbulence
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Reynolds stress equation is modified to include the Craik?Leibovich vortex force, arising from the interaction of the phase-averaged surface wave Stokes drift with upper-ocean turbulence. An algebraic second-moment ...
An Improved Second-Moment Closure Model of Langmuir Turbulence
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: prior second-moment closure (SMC) model of Langmuir turbulence in the upper ocean is modified by introduction of inhomogeneous pressure?strain rate and pressure?scalar gradient closures that are similar to the high Reynolds ...
Quality Control “A Necessity Not an Option”
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Quality control is a means by which project design engineers may help eliminate some construction-related problems and address the issue of an engineer's obligation to the general public. Ignoring quality control or relying ...
Seal-Rotordynamic-Coefficient Test Results for a Model SSME ATD-HPFTP Turbine Interstage Seal With and Without a Swirl Brake
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Test results are presented and compared to theory for a model Space Shuttle Main Engine(SSME) Alternate Turbopump Development(ATD) High-Pressure Fuel Turbopump (HPFTP) with and without swirl brakes. ...
Influence of Stokes drift decay scale on Langmuir turbulence
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ccurately scaling Langmuir turbulence (LT) in the ocean surface boundary layer (OSBL) is critical for improving ocean, weather, and climate models. The physical processes by which the structure of LT depends on surface ...
Developing an Agent-Based Model of Dual-Flush Toilet Adoption
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The spread of individual water conservation behaviors within a population can have large impacts on overall water demand. Agent-based models (ABMs) represent individual actors that update their behaviors over time in ...
Film Cooling From a Single Row of Holes Oriented in Spanwise/Normal Planes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Experimental results are presented that describe the development and structure of flow downstream of a single row of film-cooling holes inclined at 30 deg from the test surface in spanwise/normal ...
Large-Eddy Simulation of Langmuir Turbulence in Pure Wind Seas
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The scaling of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) and its vertical component (VKE) in the upper ocean boundary layer, forced by realistic wind stress and surface waves including the effects of Langmuir circulations, is ...
