An implicit approach to the solution of the unsteady two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations is presented. After spatial discretization, the resulting set of coupled implicit non-linear equations is solved iteratively. This is accomplished using well proven convergence acceleration techniques for explicit schemes such as multigrid, residual averaging, and local time-stepping in order to achieve...

Doppler velocity measurements from airborne meteorological Doppler radars require removal of the aircraft motion contribution in order to provide radial velocity of hydrometeor targets. This is a critical step for hydrometeor motion and wind retrievals. The aircraft motion contribution is defined as the scalar product between the radar antenna beam-pointing vector and the aircraft velocity vect...

[1] Uppermost mantle seismic structure below the Southern Alps in South Island, New Zealand, is investigated by teleseismic P wave travel time residual inversion. The three-dimensional tomographic images show a near-vertical, high-velocity (2–4%) structure in the uppermost mantle that directly underlies thickened crust along the NNESSW axis of the Southern Alps. The center of the high-velocity ...

One effect of nonlinear elasticity on elastic wave propagation is that the velocity of the elastic wave is a function of the applied stress on the material. This effect has been used to characterize the nonlinear elastic properties of numerous materials and is also important in attempts to nondestructively characterize residual and applied stress in materials. In addition, investigations have e...

Azimuthal anisotropy or lateral velocity variations cause azimuthal variations in moveout velocity which can lead to seismic image degradation if not properly handled. In cases where apparent azimuthally anisotropic moveout is present, a single picked velocity is inadequate to flatten an event on a 3D CMP gather. Conventional velocity analysis techniques require a significant amount of time and...

The paper discussed pipeline inner-outer defects inspection and identification methods in pipeline magnetic flux leakage (MFL) inspection. Inspection vehicle got across defects in some velocity, bringing residual MFL, its signal frequency and peak value depend on defects size, defects shape, defects in inner or outer, inspected by Hall element sensors. The results of this research indicate diff...

Seven different suspension systems for below-knee prostheses were tested on 20 adult, unilateral amputees. All subjects walked with a prosthesis. Gait was evaluated with regard to longitudinal and vertical accelerations of the body, forward velocity, axial (piston) movement of amputated limb in the socket, and knee movement. Harmonic analyses of variable waveforms provided the primary method to...
