DDES Study on the Influence of a Whisker Trailing Edge on the Wake-Blade Interaction of a High-Pressure Turbine Stage
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this study, the whisker structure of a harbor seal is utilized on the trailing edge of a high-pressure turbine stage to control the interaction between the wake and the blade. The paper investigates two cases: a prototype ...
PSO-GRNN–Based Adaptive Online Vehicle Velocity Prediction Strategy Considering Traffic Information
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In order to increase the online vehicle velocity prediction (VVP) strategy’s forecast performance, an adaptive VVP strategy considering traffic signals is presented for multiple scenarios. Initially, the algorithm of a ...
Tropical Ocean Contributions to California’s Surprisingly Dry El Niño of 2015/16
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe major El Niño of 2015/16 brought significantly less precipitation to California than previous events of comparable strength, much to the disappointment of residents suffering through the state?s fourth consecutive ...
Surface Treatment on Recycled Coarse Aggregates with Nanomaterials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Surface treatment, using two slurries containing nanomaterials, was applied to recycled aggregate (RA). Experimental studies were conducted (1) to compare properties of RA before and after the surface treatment; and (2) to ...
Cracking Behavior of CFRP Laminate-Strengthened RC Beams with Premechanical and Postmechanical Environmental Damage
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The main objectives of this study are to investigate the effects of three types of predamage and postdamage on the cracking behaviors of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP)-strengthened reinforced concrete RC beams and ...
