RISSTABILITY THEOREMS FOR THE BAROTROPIC VORTICITY EQUATION
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The conditions for uniqueness of solutions to the barotropic vorticity equation within a limited region are discussed, in particular for cases with flow through the boundary, when no physical boundary conditions exist. Two ...
A TRUNCATION ERROR REDUCING SCHEME FOR BALANCED FORECAST MODELS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Various ways to improve the numerical accuracy of solutions to balanced forecast equations are discussed and compared. Among these, the most efficient method seems to be a correction operator technique with an associated ...
Optimum Battery Size for Fuel Cell Hybrid Electric Vehicle— Part I
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study explores different hybridization levels of a midsized vehicle powered by a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell stack. The energy buffer considered is a lead-acid-type battery. The ...
Optimum Battery Size for Fuel Cell Hybrid Electric Vehicle With Transient Loading Consideration—Part II
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study presents a simplified model of a midsized vehicle powered by a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell stack together with a lead-acid battery as an energy buffer. The model is used ...
Impact of Variation in Interleaflet Triangle Height Between Fused Leaflets in the Functionally Bicuspid Aortic Valve on Hemodynamics and Tissue Biomechanics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: There is fusion between two leaflets in functionally bicuspid (bileaflet) aortic valves with trisinuate aortic root. The degree of fusion inversely correlates with variation in the interleaflet triangle height (“commissural ...
On the Quantitative Low-Level Aerosol Measurements Using Ceilometer-Type Lidar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The objective of this work is to investigate whether a commercial ceilometer-type lidar can be used as a quantitative aerosol measurement instrument. To this end, lidar backscattering measurements are compared with exact ...
Evaluation of GIS Applications for Horizontal Curve Data Collection
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Applications that use a geographic information system (GIS) are common and useful in the field of transportation. Horizontal curves are critical components on a roadway in their role as a transition between straight segments ...
Computational Modeling of Nasal Drug Delivery Using Different Intranasal Corticosteroid Sprays for the Treatment of Eustachian Tube Dysfunction
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) is a common otolaryngologic condition associated with decreased quality of life. The first-line treatment of ETD is intranasal corticosteroid sprays (INCS). Computational fluid dynamics ...
Experimental Investigation of Part Load Vortex Rope Mitigation With Rod Protrusion in an Axial Turbine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The present paper investigates the rotating vortex rope (RVR) mitigation on an axial turbine model by the radial protrusion of four cylindrical rods into the draft tube. RVR mitigation is of particular interest due to the ...
The Effect of an Increasing Subglottal Stenosis Constriction That Extends From the Vocal Folds to the Inferior Border of the Cricoid Cartilage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Acquired subglottal stenosis is an unpredicted complication that can occur in some patients who have undergone prolonged endotracheal intubation. It is a narrowing of the airway at the level of the cricoid cartilage that ...
