Drag coefficient reduction at very high wind speeds
[1] The correct representation of the 10-m drag coefficient for momentum (K10) at extreme wind speeds is very important for modeling the development of tropical depressions and may also be relevant to the understanding of other intense marine meteorological phenomena. We present a unified boundary layer model for (K10), which takes account of both the wave field and spray production, and asympt...
متن کاملAdaptive Airfoils for Drag Reduction at Transonic Speeds
Adaptive airfoils and wings can provide superior performance at the expense of increased cost and complexity. In this paper, an aerodynamic optimization algorithm is used to assess an adaptive airfoil concept for drag reduction at transonic speeds. The objective is to quantify both the improvements in drag that can be achieved and the magnitude of the shape changes needed. In an initial study, ...
متن کاملSpecial issue on broadband mobile communications at very high speeds
Future mobile communication systems aim at providing very high-speed data transmission, even under very high mobility scenarios such as high speed wheel-track trains (up to 574.8 km/h test speed or 380 km/h commercial speed), maglev trains (up to 581 km/h test speed or 431 km/h commercial speed), airplanes (about 4001000 km/h commercial speed), guided missiles (about 980–20,000 km/h) or spacecr...
متن کاملAn Estimate of the Geosat Altimeter Wind Speed Algorithm at High Wind Speeds
Existing wind speed algorithms for satellite altimeters have been developed from data in the range 0 to 20 m/s. At higher wind speeds the available algorithms diverge alarmingly. By comparing Geosat altimeter values of the radar cross section with model predictions of the surface winds during satellite overpasses of tropical cyclones, a wind speed algorithm valid for wind speeds between 20 and ...
متن کاملLift and drag in intruders moving through hydrostatic granular media at high speeds.
Recently, experiments showed that forces on intruders dragged horizontally through dense, hydrostatic granular packings mainly depend on the local surface orientation and can be seen as the sum of the forces exerted on small surface elements. In order to understand such forces more deeply, we perform a two-dimensional soft-sphere molecular dynamics simulation, on a similar setup, of an intruder...
