Loblolly pine trees (Pinus taeda L.) occupy more than 20% of the forested area in the southern United States, represent more than 50% of the standing pine volume in this region, and remove from the atmosphere about 500 g C murn:x-wiley:13541013:media:gcb13 ...
Oxic lake surface waters are frequently oversaturated with methane (CH4). The contribution to the global CH4 cycle is significant, thus leading to an increasing number of studies and stimulating debates. Here we show, using a mass balance, on a temperate, ...
In this study, large-eddy simulation combined with a turbine model is used to investigate the effect of vertical wind veer associated with the Coriolis force on the structure and evolution of wind turbine wakes. In order to isolate the Coriolis effect on t ...
This study presents calibrated vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopic measurements and filtered cyanogen violet band images for steel, cold graphite, and preheated graphite models at three reentry-relevant conditions in the X2 Expansion Tube. An analysis of thes ...
Atmospheric boundary-layer (ABL) flows over complex terrain have been the focus of active research, given their impact on weather and climate variability. Surface complexity is understood in a broad sense and includes variation in roughness properties, inc ...
Theoretical considerations suggest that saltation dynamics is dominated by either aerodynamic entrainment or by a combination of ejection and rebound at a given time and location. Calling these two regimes weak and strong saltation, respectively, we have i ...
The atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) undergoes substantial changes in its structure and dynamics in the course of a day due to the transient nature of forcing factors such as the surface fluxes of heat and momentum. The non-stationary nature of the mean wi ...
We investigate theoretically and numerically the impact of the transition from laminar to turbulent flow on the propagation of a height contained hydraulic fracture (i.e. PKN geometry). We account for the inertial terms in the balance of momentum and expre ...
The addition of a layer of strain-hardening UHPFRC to an existing member in reinforced concrete (RC) has proven to be an effective method to increase the structural resistance and durability of concrete structures [1-3]. This paper is intended for structur ...
This conference report summarizes the contributions to, and discussions at, the 21st Joint EU-US Transport Task Force workshop, held in Leysin, Switzerland, during 5-8 September 2016. The workshop was organized under 8 topics: progress towards full-F kinet ...
