Most existing analyses of the blade loads on horizontal
axis wind turbines are conducted using linear steady-state
aerodynamics, but evaluation of loads resulting from wind
turbulence or gusts may not be adequate using these
techniques. This study develops single-parameter
approximations for both the shed wake and trailing wake
components of...
In children as in adults, there is an infinite variety. You can see the differences between your children right from birth. Some babies are quiet. Others cry a lot. Some persist in going after what they want. Others lose interest more quickly. Some sleep all night and eat at regular...
An experimental framework for investigation of the effects of Micro Pin Fin Arrays (MPFA) on the fuel oxidation efficiency of catalytic combustion is presented in this thesis. Complete combustion of the fuel is essential for operation at maximum efficiency and high standards of environmental cleanliness desired in existing microscale combustion...
Internal waves of depression were observed propagating
along‐shelf and into northern Monterey Bay, California
(CA) on the inner shelf. These waves had amplitudes
approximately equal to the thermocline depth (∼4 m), and
were unstable to shear and mix the thermocline. Isopycnal
gradient spectra showed that the wave packets lead to...
