RISEnhancing Design Research in the Context of Design Education
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Research into design theory and methodology is central to postgraduate design education. It has been widely acknowledged in the literature that a key activity in ensuring the quality of research ...
Simulation of Water and Nitrogen Balances of Irrigated and Fertilized Corn-Crop Soil
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Soil water and nitrogen dynamics under a corn-crop field in Northern Greece were simulated during the 1996 growing period and the subsequent noncropped period. The soil water and nitrogen simulations were evaluated using ...
Near-Inertial Energy Propagation from the Mixed Layer: Theoretical Considerations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Wind-generated inertial currents can radiate from the mixed layer as horizontally and vertically propagating new-inertial internal gravity waves. To study the timescale of the decay of mixed layer energy and the magnitude ...
Near-Inertial Wave Propagation into the Pycnocline during Ocean Storms: Observations and Model Comparison
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of near-inertial oscillations collected during the Ocean Storms Experiment in the northeast Pacific Ocean are compared with results from a linear, numerical model on a ? plane, developed by Zervakis and Levine. ...
Subgrid Parameterizations of the Eddy–Eddy, Eddy–Mean Field, Eddy–Topographic, Mean Field–Mean Field, and Mean Field–Topographic Interactions in Atmospheric Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Parameterizations are developed for each of the subgrid turbulence interaction classes in fully three-dimensional global atmospheric flows over topography, typical of January and July climate states. Stochastic and ...
Kinematic Synthesis of Structures for Metamorphic Serial Manipulators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this work a method for the kinematic synthesis of structure topologies for modular metamorphic serial manipulators is presented. A detailed description of this class of robot manipulators is presented, in order to clarify ...
Proposal for Geoid Model Evaluation from GNSS-INS/Leveling Data: Case Study along a Railway Line in Greece
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A surveying-engineering procedure is presented for gravimetric geoid model verification along selected railway traverse lines using collocated ellipsoid and orthometric heights. The proposed method relies on (1) a ...
Bulk Flow Parameterization of Temporally Evolving Turbulent Stratified Open Channel Flow Subject to Radiative Heating
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The transient response of an initially neutral turbulent open channel subject to sudden stable stratification through radiative surface heating is investigated through direct numerical simulations. We find the convergence ...

Impact of Climate Change on Disruption to Urban Transport Networks from Pluvial Flooding
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Short-duration, high-intensity rainfall causes significant disruption to transport operations, and climate change is projected to increase the frequency and intensity of these events. Disruption costs of flooding are ...
