Cfd Simulation of Micro-climate in Waterfront

As an important influence factor of unban climate, unban water bodies take positive effect on the microclimate of surrounding area in summer. This paper firstly evaluated performances of five different models comparing with experimental results of windtunnel to find out which is most suitable for thermal prediction of micro-climate. Then, SKE model was selected to simulate four planning cases c...

Skipping Refinement

We introduce skipping refinement, a new notion of correctness for reasoning about optimized reactive systems. Reasoning about reactive systems using refinement involves defining an abstract, highlevel specification system and a concrete, low-level implementation system. One then shows that every behavior allowed by the implementation is also allowed by the specification. Due to the difference i...

The physics of stone skipping

The motion of a stone skimming over a water surface is considered. A simplified description of the collisional process of the stone with water is proposed. The maximum number of bounces is estimated by considering both the slowing down of the stone and its angular stability. The conditions for a successful throw are discussed. © 2003 American Association of Physics Teachers. @DOI: 10.1119/1.151...
