The plastic response of a sheet metal is governed by the collective response of the underlying grains. Intragranular plasticity depends on intrinsic variables such as crystallographic orientation and on extrinsic variables such as grain interactions; howev ...
In this paper we extend the recently introduced edge stabilization method to the case of non-conforming finite element approximations of the linearized Navier-Stokes equation. To get stability also in the convective dominated regime we add a term giving
We propose a numerical method for the solution of the Quasi3D hydrodynamic equations. This approach uses a combination of standard linear finite elements along the vertical direction and non-conforming Raviart-Thomas elements in the horizontal planes. We d ...
This paper presents an analysis of lightning return strokes to tall structures. The interaction of lightning with a tall structure is modeled using the antenna theory. The finite ground conductivity as well as the buried grounding system of the tall struct ...
We used a one-dimensional (1-D) cloud parcel model to assess the impact of biomass-burning aerosol on cloud properties in the Amazon Basin and to identify the physical and chemical properties of the aerosol that influence droplet growth. Cloud condensation ...
We propose in this paper new expressions relating lightning return stroke currents and far radiated electric and magnetic fields, taking into account the presence of an elevated strike object. The derived expressions show that the presence of an elevated s ...
This paper presents a first assessment of the hydrometeorological potential of a C-band doppler weather radar recently installed by the Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium near the town of Wideumont in the southern Ardennes region. An analysis of the ...
During the dry season of the year 2002, convective cooling triggered the formation of a double-diffusive regime of the convective type below the chemocline at 52m depth in Lake Nyos. Since then, the vertical extent of the double-diffusive staircase has con ...
Elevated mixing ratios of ozone in the lower troposphere are a major summer time air pollution issue in Europe. Photochemical in-situ production is the most important source of ozone in the planetary boundary layer and has been studied extensively. However ...
We present in this paper experimental results obtained at the International Center for Lightning Research and Testing (ICLRT), Camp Blanding, Florida, where currents induced by triggered and natural lightning events were measured at one end of a shielded b ...
