To track a cyclone using a single orbiting satellite in a continuous manner is impractical as it has limited spatial and temporal coverage. One solution is to use multiple orbiting satellites for cyclone tracking. However, data from some orbiting satellites do not provide features as useful as other satellites in identifying cyclones. Moreover, satellite data containing strong cyclone discrimin...

Four cyclone concentrators were designed and fabricated to compare their particle separation and concentration behavior, such as the major, minor, outlet, and wall deposition fractions. Two of the cyclone concentrators were the conventional type, with the minor flow tube connected to the particle outlet at the bottom of the cyclone. The others were modified cyclone concentrators with a gap betw...

The effect of adding extra inlet channels on the operation of the Stairmand Cyclone has been investigated numerically. The Reynolds stress model (RSM) and Eulerian-Lagrangian method were used to investigate the complex turbulent flow and cyclone performance. The impacts of one-way coupling and two-way coupling models on the cyclone efficiency and the calculation of cut-off size diameter were ex...

• The damage to older buildings in the areas suffering the most wind damage was very similar to the damage in the most damaged areas in the Whitsunday Islands from Cyclone Ada in January 1970, Townsville from Cyclone Althea in December 1971, and older buildings in Innisfail from Cyclone Larry in March 2006, not much greater than in the worst affected areas of Cyclone Winifred in 1986, and an or...

This paper reports on an experiment to add concurrency to the Cyclone programming language, in order to get a safe concurrent language. The basic model considered is that of FairThreads in which synchronous and asynchronous aspects are mixed. The language Loft implements the FairThreads model in C. In this paper, one uses Cyclone instead of C in the implementation of Loft. Using the multi-threa...

This paper presents the results of studies performed to rehabilitate an existing seawall in Fujairah to withstand cyclone Gonu condition. The exiting section has not been designed for the cyclone Gonu condition. A desktop study was implemented to assess the functionality of the existing section by applying the methods recommended in the applicable standards and guidelines. This assessment sho...
