Abstract: This paper deals with the calculation of the wind forces on the bearings of a solar tracking system. The forces involved are three dimensional-normal, and drag forces which act on the solar ...

Abstract: he behavior of the heat flux H with respect to the stability parameter (=z/L, where z is the height above the ground, and L is the Obukhov length) in the unstable atmospheric surface layer is analyzed within the framework ...

Abstract: n analysis in a plane of the stability parameters ? = z/L (where z is a height above the ground surface and L is the Obukhov length) and bulk Richardson number RiB is proposed to examine the applicability of Monin?Obukhov ...

Abstract: he turbulent data over a tropical region are utilized to analyze the observational behavior of the drag coefficient with respect to wind speed U and the stability parameter in convective conditions. The drag coefficient ...

Abstract: A technique is developed to model the effects of radiation damping in the finite element analysis of hydrodynamic pressures on dams subjected to a harmonic horizontal ground motion. The water in the reservoir is treated ...

Abstract: The Newtonian model has commonly been used to represent the viscosity of blood in the aorta, despite blood itself being a non-Newtonian fluid. This is justified where shear rates tend to be large. However, we hypothesized ...
