RISModeling Mixture Formation in a Gasoline Direct Injection Engine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Mixture formation and combustion in a gasoline direct injection (GDI) engine were studied. A swirl-type nozzle, with an inwardly opening pintle, was used to inject the fuel directly in a four ...
Laboratory Tests for Assessing the Reliability and Durability of Innovative Cold-Glued 3D Glass Building Subcomponents
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The paper shows the results of analyses of the behavior of an innovative subcomponent made of two glass shells and a plastic thermal belt interfaced with a resin-based adhesive, in order to define the plastic material–adhesive ...
Sensitivity of a Mesoscale Model to Microphysical Parameterizations in the MAP SOP Events IOP2b and IOP8
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The sensitivity of a mesoscale model to different microphysical parameterizations is investigated for two events of precipitation in the Mediterranean region, that is, the Mesoscale Alpine Program (MAP) intensive observation ...
Mechanisms of Intense Alpine Rainfall
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Numerical studies by the authors and others of the 1994 Piedmont flood show that the orographically modified flow was a critical element for the production of extraordinary rainfall. To uncover the precise mechanism of ...
Use of the Probability Transformation Method in Some Random Mechanic Problems
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This work addresses the use of the probability transformation method (PTM) and of some of its extensions for solving mechanical and structural systems for which the response is modeled as random fields or variables that ...
Spontaneous Negative Entropy Increments in Granular Flows
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The entropy inequality, commonly taken as an axiom of continuum mechanics, is found to be spontaneously violated in macroscopic granular media undergoing collisional dynamics. The result falls within the fluctuation theorem ...
Investigating Hector Convective Development and Microphysical Structure Using High-Resolution Model Simulations, Ground-Based Radar Data, and TRMM Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ne event of a tropical thunderstorm typically observed in northern Australia, known as Hector, is investigated using high-resolution model output from the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?National Center for ...
High-Resolution Weather Forecasting over Complex Orography: Sensitivity to the Assimilation of Conventional Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Weather forecasting for regions with complex orography, as the Alps, presents several challenges and the task becomes even more difficult when high resolution is required. Moreover, for the Alpine region, some of the ...
Multiparameter Raman Lidar Measurements for the Characterization of a Dry Stratospheric Intrusion Event
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The University of Basilicata Raman lidar system (BASIL) is operational in Potenza, Italy, and it is capable of performing high-resolution and accurate measurements of atmospheric temperature and water vapor based on the ...
Rheological Percolation Threshold in High-Viscosity Polymer/CNTs Nanocomposites
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Polystyrene (PS)/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNT) nanocomposites have been prepared through melt mixing processing aiming at obtaining a uniform and homogeneous dispersion of the used nanoparticles within the polymeric ...
