Abstract Daily hydrological models are commonly used to study changes in flood peaks due climate change. Although they often lead an underestimation of absolute floods, it is assumed that future smaller mesoscale catchments less underestimated when examining the relative change signal floods. In this study, applicability hypothesis investigated by comparing results a daily model set, calibrated...

Abstract In this paper, the shock response of functionally graded Al-PTFE granular composites is firstly investigated by means mesoscale simulations. A tailored arrangement filler infiltrated with matrix to study effects density gradient on mechanical and chemical characteristics material under impact loading. Based wave propagations, noticeable differences among pressure, temperature, strain a...

Abstract The mechanical degradation of concrete structures is a phenomenon dependent on the material heterogeneity observed at mesoscale. As localized phenomenon, structural members and may be simulated using concurrent multiscale analysis technique. Thus, only most critical regions are modeled in mesoscale, reducing computational cost compared to simulation entire structure this scale. This wo...

With the multitude of cloud clusters over tropical oceans, it has been perplexing that so few develop into tropical cyclones. The authors postulate that a major obstacle has been the complexity of scale interactions, particularly those on the mesoscale, which have only recently been observable. While there are well-known climatological requirements, these are by no means sufficient. A major rea...
