in order to determine the stability of underwater robots, their governing differential equations of motion in vertical and horizontal planes should be investigated. for horizontal plane stability, using routh stability criterion, four hydrodynamic coefficients, including derivatives of the lateral force and vertical moment with respect to sway and angular velocity are required. these coefficien...

north-east khorasan is one of the most active regions in the world because of is setting on the alpine-himalayan belt. historical and geological backgrounds suggest that this region has experienced many destructive earthquakes throughout history. compared with the historical background, the seismicity of the region, in the present century, is better known both from the macroseismic and instrume...

Doppler power spectra from a vertically pointing 94GHz cloud radar are used to retrieve the mean and turbulent components of the in-cloud vertically velocities for a continental stratocumulus cloud field. Several horizontal scales of motion in the mean velocity field are shown, including a wave-cloud feature seen in satellite photographs. A profile of vertical velocity variance is computed for ...

Cloud radar, microwave radiometer, and lidar remote sensing data acquired during the Atlantic Stratocumulus Transition Experiment (ASTEX) are analyzed to address the relationship between (1) drop number concentration and cloud turbulence as represented by vertical velocity and vertical velocity variance and (2) drizzle formation and cloud turbulence. Six cases, each of about 12 hours duration, ...

Density Current is formed when a fluid with heavier density than the surrounding fluid flows down an inclined bed. These types of flows are common in nature and can be produced by; salinity, temperature inhomogeneities, or suspended particles of silt and clay. Driven by the density difference between inflow and clear water in reservoirs, density current plunges clear water and moves towards a d...

During its near-ground hovering phase a Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing (STOVL) aircraft creates a complex three-dimensional flow field between jet streams, the airframe surface and the ground. A proper understanding and numerical prediction of this flow is important in the design of such aircraft. In this paper an experimental facility, used to gather validation data suitable for testing C...

Deep convective cloud content, precipitation distribution and rate, dynamics, and radiative fluxes are known to be sensitive to the details of liquidand ice-phase cloud microphysical processes. Previous studies have explored the multivariate convective response to changes in cloud microphysical parameter values in a framework that isolated the cloud and radiation schemes from the thermodynamic ...

the johor strait is an estuarine system located on the coast of the state of johor in malaysia.the western part of johor strait is a shallow estuarine located between causeway and pulai river. ahydrodynamic model was calibrated based on the environmental fluid dynamic code (efdc) from 4th to 17th of october, 2009. in this calibration, the efdc hydrodynamic model was configured to simulate time ...
