Abstraction, ensemble, and disaggregation approaches to estimate evapotranspiration for use in hydrologic models
Evapotranspiration (ET) is the most dominant hydrologic process in water balance, yet it is difficult to measure in a watershed. This feature of ET has resulted in the development of many ET equations to estimate ET indirectly. While developing the ...
Investigating translational motion of a dual friction-drive surface acoustic wave motor through modeling and finite element simulation
This study presents the investigation of translational motion of a surface acoustic wave (SAW) linear motor employing dual friction drive (DFD) through mathematical modeling and finite element simulation. The presented SAW linear motor consists of two ...
Improving Linearly Implicit Quantized State System Methods
In this article we propose a modification to Linearly Implicit Quantized State System Methods (LIQSS), a family of methods for solving stiff Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) that replace the classic time discretization by the quantization of the ...
A comparative evaluation of the effectiveness of virtual reality, 3D visualization and 2D visual interactive simulation: an exploratory meta-analysis
Research on the application of 3D visualization and virtual reality (VR) in discrete-event simulation (DES) has received increased attention in the past two decades. The increasing popularity of the 3D display in DES is mainly due to superior display ...
Simulation of time series wind speed at an international airport
The sporadic and unstable nature of wind speed renders it very difficult to predict accurately to serve various decisions, such as safety in the air traffic flow and reliable power generation system. In this study we assessed the autoregressive integrated ...
Determination of ovality and wall thinning effects on B2 stress indices for pipe bends under in-plane closing bending moment
The present work evaluates the combined effect of variable wall thickness and ovality on the B2 stress index of bends under in-plane closing moment using finite element analysis. The material chosen is assumed to be elastic-perfectly plastic and large ...
