Wave and wind effects on the oxygen transfer across an air-water interface: an experimental study
(Wiley, 2017)
The results of an experimental study on the oxygen transfer across the air-water interface under the combined effect of wind and mechanically generated waves are presented in the paper. The experiments were carried out in ...
Control of Reynolds number in a high speed wind tunnel
(Departamento de Ciência e Tecnologia Aeroespacial, 2009)
A conceptual control model for the Reynolds number test based on isentropic relations was established for the supersonic wind tunnel. Comparison of the system response of the model simulation and the actual wind tunnel ...
On closed-section wind-tunnel aeroacoustic experiments with a two-dimensional lifting body
(2019-05-01)
Slat noise experiments are sometimes performed to provide data for the validation of numerical procedures. Under such circumstances, closed-section wind-tunnels, in contrast with open-section ones, offer well-defined ...
RWEQ-Wind erosion predictions for variable soil roughness conditions
(Elsevier, 2016-03)
The soil surface roughness is a main factor in all wind erosion prediction models, including the Revised Wind Erosion Equation (RWEQ). The objective of this study was to test the erodibility of two typical soils of the ...
Attraction of the sand fly Nyssomyia neivai (Diptera: Psychodidae) to chemical compounds in a wind tunnel
(Biomed Central Ltd, 2015-03-07)
Background: Similar to other hematophagous insects, male and female sand flies must feed on plants to obtain sugar and, subsequently, energy to complete their life cycles. A large number of compounds emitted by plants may ...
Attraction of the cutaneous leishmaniasis vector Nyssomyia neivai (Diptera: Psychodidae) to host odour components in a wind tunnel
(Biomed Central Ltd., 2012-09-25)
Background: Laboratory studies of host-seeking olfactory behaviour in sandflies have largely been restricted to the American visceral leishmaniasis vector Lutzomyia longipalpis. In comparison, almost nothing is known about ...
The low acoustic noise and turbulence wind tunnel of the University of Sao Paulo
(2021-01-01)
This paper introduces the Low Acoustic Noise and Turbulence (LANT) wind tunnel of the Sao Carlos School of Engineering, University of Sao Paulo (USP-EESC), Brazil. The closed-loop wind tunnel features several devices to ...
Mean loads on vaulted canopy roofs
(Elsevier Science, 2013-08)
The vaulted canopy roof (VCR) is a widespread structure used in vast areas of South America, especially in parts of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. Information about the aerodynamics of VCRs is scarce in the literature, ...
Characteristics of Zonda Wind in South American Andes
(Techno-press, 2017-06)
This paper discusses some features and conditions that characterize the Zonda wind, focusing particularly on the implications for wind engineering applications. This kind of wind, typical of mountainous regions, is far ...
Diseño de un túnel de viento portátil para el estudio de la erosión eólicaDesing of a portable wind tunnel for the wind erosion study
(Asociación Argentina de la Ciencia del Suelo, 2016-11)
La erosión eólica (EE) es un proceso de degradación irreversible de suelos de regiones áridas y semiáridas. Con el uso de túneles de viento portátiles es posible simular la EE controlando variables críticas como la velocidad ...
