[1] It took the solar polar passage of Ulysses in the early 1990s to establish the global structure of the solar wind speed during solar minimum. However, it remains unclear if the solar wind is composed of two distinct populations of solar wind from different sources (e.g., closed loops which open up to produce the slow solar wind) or if the fast and slow solar wind rely on the superradial exp...

EISCAT observations of interplanetary scintillation have been used to measure the velocity of the solar wind at distances between 15 and 130 Rx (solar radii) from the Sun. The results show that the solar wind consists of two distinct components, a fast stream with a velocity of &800 km s~1 and a slow stream at &400 km s~1. The fast stream appears to reach its final velocity much closer to the S...

in this paper, the 10-minutes period measured wind speed data at different heights (10 m, 30 m, and 40 m) are presented for khvaf, which is one of the major counties with high wind potential in khorasan provinces in iran. to the author’s knowledge, there hasn’t been any assessment works in the mentioned site. from the primary evaluation and by determining mean wind speed and also the weibull fu...

In future planning of the city, it is very important to consider the proper intelligent integration of renewable energy sources into the built environment for developing smart cities. Analysis of the wind velocity profile in the built environment is very important for finding out the energy content in the wind and also to analyze the performance of wind turbines in the built environment. In thi...

Physical damage to property and crops caused by unanticipated wind gusts is a well understood phenomenon. Predicting its occurrence continues to be a challenge for meteorologists and climatologists. Various approaches to gust occurrence model building have been proposed. The very nature of the event is problematic because of its brief duration following a rapid change of state in wind velocity ...

High-resolution IRAS maps are used to search for the presence of stellar-wind bow-shocks around high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs). Their high space velocities, recently confirmed with Hipparcos observations, combined with their strong stellar winds should result in the formation of wind bow-shocks. Except for the already known bow-shock around Vela X-1 (Kaper et al. 1997), we do not find convinc...

In this research the behavior of small-scaled wind turbine system is evaluated against strong wind input considering round trip delay. Generally, the wind turbine system is generating energy from the revolution of blades. The revolution of blades is depended on the velocity of wind. Therefore, if there is strong wind then the revolution of blade is increased and more energy will generated. Ther...
