Abstract: Recent experiences with tropical meteorology around the world have brought to light the frequent existence of a zonal band of west winds in the vicinity of the equator, which appears not to be associated with the westerlies ...

Abstract: This paper develops experimentally based nonlinear models for the vortex shedding forces on oscillating cylinders. The lift in-phase and out-of-phase with cylinder motion and mean drag are ...

Abstract: A very long series of minimum winter temperatures for the United States Gulf Coast region was developed. A search was made through sources of archival data to locate early temperature records for the region. Records from ...

Abstract: A model is developed for the steady fluid forces on a cylinder that is in the wake of a parallel, upstream cylinder in cross flow. The fluid forces are determined by correlating experimental ...

Abstract: Over the years, the Federal Government through the National Flood Insurance Program has attempted to address the issue of flood plain management. Questioning the extent to which the enforcement of Federal regulations has ...
