Abstract: Volume transport fluctuations of the Florida Current (Gulf Stream), generated within the Straits of Florida by local meridional wind stress, are investigated. A simple coastal response model was applied to the Straits of ...

Abstract: Manufacturing and assembly variation can lead to shifts in the inlet flow incidence angles of a rotating turbine airfoil row. Understanding the sensitivity of the adiabatic film cooling effectiveness to a range of inlet ...

Abstract: A procedure for calculating contact loads on a dovetail surface for given engine performance parameters such as speed and temperature is described. The procedure requires a small number of ...

Abstract: In recent climate sensitivity experiments with the Community Climate System Model, version 3 (CCSM3), a wide range of studies have found that the Community Land Model, version 3 (CLM3), simulates mean global evapotranspiration ...

Abstract: s part of ongoing studies of the feasibility of utility-scale wind energy off the shore of North Carolina, winds at 80-m elevation are estimated with a stability-based height-adjustment scheme. Data sources are level-3 ...

Abstract: A Strategic Petroleum Reserve is being created along the Gulf coast of southeast Texas and southern Louisiana. Storage caverns have been created in salt domes using a leaching process, and the resultant brine solution is ...
