Two ̄ights of the UKMeteorological Oce's Hercules aircraft through daytime frontal cirrus around Scotland have been analysed using wavelet analysis on the vertical velocity time-series from the horizontal runs. It is shown that wavelet analysis is a useful tool for analysing the turbulence data in cirrus clouds. It ®nds the largest scales involved in producing turbulence, as does Fourier analy...

Abstract The magnitude of the entrainment buoyancy flux, and hence growth rate convective boundary layer, does not increase monotonically with wind shear. Explanations for this have previously been based on wind-shear effects turbulence kinetic energy. By distinguishing between turbulent non-turbulent regions, we provide an alternative explanation two competing effects: initial decrease in corr...

The use of wind power for energy production, renewable energy is one of the oldest methods for tapping. Socio-economic development and use of renewable energy is an essential component of economic development. Tidal energy, wind energy, etc., such as abundant renewable energy sources and reduce dependence on fossil fuels can help. With increased concern for environment now days led to the resea...

A wind turbine blade's structural dynamic response is simulated and analysed with the goal of characterizing the presence and severity of a shear web disbond. Computer models of a 5 MW offshore utility-scale wind turbine were created to develop effective algorithms for detecting such damage. Through data analysis and with the use of blade measurements, a shear web disbond was quantified accordi...

The reported study examines the dynamics of entrainment and its effects on the evolution of the dry atmospheric convective boundary layer (CBL) when wind shear is present. The sheared CBL can be studied by means of direct measurements in the atmosphere, laboratory studies, and numerical techniques. The advantages and disadvantages of each technique are discussed in the present paper, which also...

For laterally complex media, it may be more suitable to take a different orientation of thedisplacement vector of Shear-waves. This may change the sign of several imaginary reflections andconversion coefficients to be used in reservoir characterization and AVO (Amplitude Versus Offset)analysis or modeling. In this new convention the positive direction of the displacement vector ofreflected Shea...

from the mathematical point of view, the fao penman-monteith equation shows a homographic function related to the wind speed. the homographic function has horizontal and vertical asymptotes. in this issue horizontal asymptote is applicable; because the vertical asymptote occurs for negative values of wind speed but the negative sign indicates the direction of the wind speed and only the absolut...
