Ice Shelf Water plume flow beneath FilchnerRonne Ice Shelf, Antarctica
[1] A two-dimensional plume model is used to study the interaction between FilchnerRonne Ice Shelf, Antarctica and its underlying ocean cavity. Ice Shelf Water (ISW) plumes are initiated by the freshwater released from a melting ice shelf and, if they rise, may become supercooled and deposit marine ice due to the pressure increase in the in situ freezing temperature. The aim of this modeling st...
متن کاملHybrid Propulsion System Design of a VTOL Tailsitter UAV
Tailsitter UAVs with their combined vertical take off and landing (VTOL) and fixed-wing aircraft with full flightspeed regime capability provides a distinct alternative to rotary-wing and ducted fan UAVs (OAVs). ITU-BYU Tailsitter concept aims to obtain the energy efficient regimes across the VTOL and the cruising flight regimes. This paper describes the hybrid propulsion system design approach...
متن کاملModeling Turbulent Subglacial Meltwater Plumes: Implications for Fjord-Scale Buoyancy-Driven Circulation
Fjord-scale circulation forced by rising turbulent plumes of subglacial meltwater has been identified as one possible mechanism of oceanic heat transfer to marine-terminating outlet glaciers. This study uses buoyant plume theory and a nonhydrostatic, three-dimensional ocean–icemodel of a typical outlet glacier fjord in west Greenland to investigate the sensitivity of meltwater plume dynamics an...
متن کاملThe Flight Control System of the Hovereye® VTOL UAV
This overview paper covers the flight control system of Bertin Technologies’ Hovereye ® mini vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) UAV, including development, verification in simulation and flight test results. Hovereye ® is a demonstrator of a short range reconnaissance platform in support of army units engaged in urban combat, such as in peace-keeping missions, with an electro-optic day or nigh...
متن کاملGreenland outlet glacier ice - flow variability
1 I ce mass loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet is a primary contributor to global sea level rise. The rate of ice loss has accelerated over the last couple of decades and Greenland currently contributes about 0.7-1.1 mm/yr to sea-level rise (260-380 Gt/ice per year; Enderlin et al. 2014; Shepherd et al. 2012). Predicting the potential rate and limits of future mass loss requires a clear understa...
