Abstract: Both experimental and numerical studies have been performed aimed at the description of the decay of swirl in turbulent pipe flows. Emphasis is put on the effect of the initial velocity ...

Abstract: Rainfall forecast errors are the key sources of uncertainty in flood forecasting. To quantify this uncertainty operational flood forecasting centers make use of rainfall forecasts obtained by ensemble predicting systems ...

Abstract: Traffic load plays an important role not only in the design of new bridges but also in the reliability assessment of existing structures. Weigh-in-motion systems are used to collect data to determine traffic loads. In this ...

Abstract: RAINSAT uses under data to calibrate GOES visible and infra data in terms of probability of rain. It produces probability of rain maps and 3 h forecast probability of rain maps by extrapolation. An evaluation is made of ...
