RISCorrelation of Real and Model Wind Speeds in Different Terrains
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Wind speeds over a 6-month period from 21 surface stations, 3 upper-wind stations, and 2 different models are compared. Similar data are used for three different topographic regions of New Zealand broadly classed as having ...
Benchmarking of Improved DPAC Transient Deflagration Analysis Code
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The deflagration pressure analysis code (DPAC) has been upgraded for use in modeling hydrogen deflagration transients. The upgraded code is benchmarked using data from vented hydrogen deflagration tests conducted at the ...
Rotor Vibration Measurements Using Laser Doppler Vibrometry: Essential Post-Processing for Resolution of Radial and Pitch/Yaw Vibrations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Laser Doppler vibrometry is now a well established technique enabling noncontact vibration measurements in the most challenging of environments. Rotor vibration measurements are often highlighted ...
Evidence of Mesoscale Lows off the West Coast of New Zealand
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mesoscale lows are observed off the central west coast, South Island, New Zealand. These features are evidenced in pressure dips measured at a buoy moored about 50 km off the west coast. They do not appear in measurements ...
Analysis of Venting of a Resin Slurry
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A resin slurry venting analysis was conducted to address safety issues associated with over-pressurization of ion exchange columns used in the plutonium uranium redox extraction (PUREX) process at the U. S. Department of ...
Analysis of Powder Airborne Release Fractions for Vessel Ruptures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Department of Energy (DOE) handbook for airborne releases from nonreactor nuclear facilities bases its bounding airborne release fraction (ARF) for pressurized powders on tests conducted at Pacific Northwest Laboratory ...

Pressurization Analysis for Heating of a Screw Top Utility Can Loaded With Plutonium Oxide Powder by a 1273 K Fire
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The documented safety analysis for the Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) evaluates the consequences of a postulated 1273 K fire in a glovebox. The radiological dose consequences for a pressurized release of plutonium ...
Liquefaction Evaluation Procedure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A procedure for evaluating liquefaction susceptibility of a soil mass subjected to shear stress, such as in slopes, embankments, and foundations of structures, is presented. Liquefaction analysis is a stability analysis ...
Re‐Examination of Slide of Lower San Fernando Dam
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A major slide occurred in the upstream slope of the Lower San Fernando Dam immediately following the earthquake of February 9, 1971. Previous analyses of this slide have been based on evaluation of seismic shear stresses ...
