RISOn Discontinuities in the Sverdrup Interior
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A formulation of Sverdrup dynamics is presented based on a reduced-gravity model in place of the standard approach using the vorticity equation. The integral conservation law of momentum is used to investigate solutions ...
Optimum Suppression of Fluid Forces Acting on a Circular Cylinder
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The objective of this paper is to investigate the suppression of the fluid forces acting on a circular cylinder (hereafter called the main cylinder) by controlling the flow around it. Flow ...
Effect of Free-Stream Turbulence on Characteristics of Fluctuating Forces Acting on Two Square Prisms in Tandem Arrangement
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The effect of the addition of the turbulence intensity to the free stream on the characteristics of the bistable flow which takes place around two square prisms in tandem arrangement was ...
Fluctuating Forces on a Rectangular Prism and a Circular Cylinder Placed Vertically in a Turbulent Boundary Layer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental study was conducted to investigate the fluctuating force generated by the shedding of vortices from a three-dimensional bluff body placed vertically in a turbulent boundary layer. ...
Flow Around a Normal Plate of Finite Width Immersed in a Turbulent Boundary Layer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental investigation was carried out on the flow around a normal plate of finite width mounted on a smooth plane wall along which a turbulent boundary layer was fully developed. ...
Effect of a Vibrating Upstream Cylinder on a Stationary Downstream Cylinder
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The flow around two circular cylinders in tandem arrangement in uniform flow where the upstream cylinder is forcibly vibrated in direction normal to the approach flow was experimentally studied ...
A Study on Vortex Shedding From Spheres in a Uniform Flow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Vortex shedding from spheres at Reynolds numbers from 3 × 102 to 4 × 104 in a uniform flow was investigated experimentally. Standard hot-wire technique were used to measure the vortex ...
Multiple Claims in Construction Law: Educational Case Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A construction case is analyzed where there is a potential for involvement of multiple claims between owner, architect, contractor, subcontractor, and manufacturer. A particular event at a building site causes disturbances ...
Polynomial Chaos Decomposition for the Simulation of Non-Gaussian Nonstationary Stochastic Processes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A method is developed for representing and synthesizing random processes that have been specified by their two-point correlation function and their nonstationary marginal probability density functions. The target process ...
Application of the Poisson and Negative Binomial Models to Thunderstorm and Hail Days Probabilities in Nevada
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Rare events such as thunderstorm or hail days often fit one of two distributions, the Poisson or the negative binomial. These two models were tested on monthly and annual thunderstorm days as well as on annual hail days ...
