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...

For generations, cyclones and tidal surges have frequently devastated lives and property in coastal and island Bangladesh. This study explores vulnerability to cyclone hazards using first-hand coping recollections from prior to, during and after these events. Qualitative field data suggest that, beyond extreme cyclone forces, localised vulnerability is defined in terms of response processes, in...

The kinetic energy budgets of several examples of synoptic scale systems are reviewed. Included are systems containing a major cyclone development, the immediate cyclone vicinity, and the anticyclone preceding the cyclone development. These are then considered in terms of their role in the general circulation of the middle latitudes. Results show that the cyclone system and cyclone vicinity are...

"Pre-separator plus1D2D cyclone" and "pre-separator plus 1D3D cyclone" systems were tested with ground gin trash, which contains 10.35% lint fiber and 5.49% fine dust (less than 100 μm). Test results indicate that the pre-separator collected gin trash at over 97% collection efficiency. There were no significant differences in emission concentrations and overall collection efficiencies from thes...

The presentation is based on the results of an international meeting for establishing the state of the art and for making recommendations for continued research and development in the field. The meeting was arranged by Kval on behalf of the AILA Commission for Computational Linguistics in conjunction with the Committee for Linguistics in Documentation within the International Federation for Doc...

[1] Tropical cyclone accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) has exhibited strikingly large global interannual variability during the past 40‐years. In the pentad since 2006, Northern Hemisphere and global tropical cyclone ACE has decreased dramatically to the lowest levels since the late 1970s. Additionally, the global frequency of tropical cyclones has reached a historical low. Here evidence is pres...
