RISDependence of Energy Flux from the Wind to Surface Inertial Currents on the Scale of Atmospheric Motions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractAtmospheric features such as translating cold fronts and small lows with horizontal scales of about 100 km are traditionally thought to be most important in exciting near-inertial motions in the ocean. However, ...
Latitudinal Dependence of Wind-Induced Near-Inertial Energy
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: idlatitude storms, accounting for the majority of wind energy input to near-inertial motions in the ocean, are known to shift their track significantly from one year to another. The consequence of such storm track shifts ...
Analytical Model for Resilient Modulus and Permanent Deformation of Geosynthetic-Reinforced Unbound Granular Material
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To consider the benefit of geosynthetic reinforcement in a mechanistic-empirical pavement design method, the resilient modulus and permanent deformation behavior of a geosynthetic-reinforced unbound granular material (UGM) ...
The Impact of Normal Magnetic Fields on Instability of Thermocapillary Convection in a Two-Layer Fluid System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: When a temperature gradient is imposed along a liquid-liquid interface, thermocapillary convection is driven by the surface tension gradient. Such flow occurs in many application processes, such ...
On the Numerical Influences of Inertia Representation for Rigid Body Dynamics in Terms of Unit Quaternion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Inertia plays a crucial role in the quaternionbased rigid body dynamics, the associated mass matrix, however, presents singularity in the traditional representation. Recent researches demonstrated that the singularity can ...
Encapsulation of Living Cells in Small (∼100 μm) Alginate Microcapsules by Electrostatic Spraying: A Parametric Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A parametric study was performed to understand the effect of preparation parameters on size, morphology, and encapsulation efficiency (i.e., cells/microcapsule) of alginate microcapsules prepared ...
On the North Atlantic Ocean Heat Content Change between 1955–70 and 1980–95
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he upper-ocean heat content of the North Atlantic has undergone significant changes over the last 50 years but the underlying physical mechanisms are not yet well understood. In the present study, the authors examine the ...
On the Variability of Wind Power Input to the Oceans with a Focus on the Subpolar North Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ariations in power input to the ocean using a recent global ?reanalysis? extending back to 1871 show a strong trend in the net power input since then, a trend dominated by the Southern Ocean region. This trend is interpreted ...
An Effective Characteristic Method for Plastic Plane Stress Problems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Based on the maximum stress deviator yield criterion and the associated flow rule, the quasi-linear differential equation systems of stress and velocity fields in the plane stress problem of an ideal rigid-plastic body are ...
Construction Process Reengineering by Integrating Lean Principles and Computer Simulation Techniques
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A construction process reengineering framework and its corresponding methodologies have been developed by integrating lean principles and computer simulation techniques. Instead of classifying activities into value-adding ...
