Abstract: A new spherical grid system whose grid density on the globe is almost homogeneous is proposed. The elementary rules of finite differencing on the grid system are defined so that a desirable condition for numerical area ...

Abstract: A new method of moist convective adjustment is presented. A large-scale state of the atmosphere is assumed to be in a thermodynamically critical condition when a hypothetical cloud element can develop. As a result of the ...

Abstract: Heavy section steel pressure vessels for light water reactor and aluminum tank for liquefied natural gas carrier are chosen to review the fabrication of pressure vessels. With regard to RPV, ...

Abstract: The numerical properties of the trapezoidal implicit, the backward implicit, and partly implicit methods are investigated. The computational stability of these methods, the selective damping of waves, and the accuracy of ...

Abstract: A tropical cyclone simulated in an axisymmetric numerical model is analyzed in detail from various aspects in order to deepen the understanding of the basic mechanisms of its evolution. Namely, the budget equations of ...

Abstract: Development of the band structure in a tropical cyclone is investigated by solving an eigenvalue problem for perturbations of spiral shape. The perturbations are superposed on a baroclinic circular vortex accompanied with ...

Abstract: A study of the seasonal change of a climaticc state of the atmosphere is made through the investigation of a response of a statistical-dynamical model to insolation having seasonal variation. Numerical experiments are ...

Abstract: A statistical-dynamical, two-layer model of the atmosphere is constructed for the simulation of the climatic state of the global circulation. The meteorological variables, velocity, temperature and pressure, are decomposed ...

Abstract: To clarify the sealing characteristics of metal gasket seals, leakage rates of gas and the real contact area of the seal surfaces were measured under several closing loads. The static seal ...
