Effects of Rotor-Induced Downwash and Crosswind on Downstream Droplet Size and Velocity in Agricultural UAV Spraying

open access: yesAgriEngineering
To clarify the effects of rotor-induced downwash and crosswind on liquid sheet breakup and spray atomization characteristics of agricultural UAVs, an experimental platform integrating particle image velocimetry (PIV), a UAV spray system, and a wind ...

Wake Structures and Surface Patterns of the DrivAer Notchback Car Model under Side Wind Conditions

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
The flow field topology of passenger cars considerably changes under side wind conditions. This changes the surface pressure, aerodynamic force, and drag and performance of a vehicle.

Migrating and Nonmigrating Neutral Mass Density Tides From GRACE‐FO Observations for Solar Minimum Conditions

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract This study presents the migrating and nonmigrating thermospheric neutral mass density tides from the Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment Follow‐On (GRACE‐FO) observations under solar minimum conditions (year 2020). The observed densities are first mapped to a reference altitude of 500 km using an empirical model (NRLMSIS 2.0) to remove the

Field test of assumptions for using line transect distance sampling on rock ptarmigan

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 4, July 2026.
Reliable population estimates are essential for the management of harvested species. Line transect distance sampling using pointing dogs is an established survey method for willow ptarmigan and has also been proposed for the monitoring of rock ptarmigan.

Study of Paired Approach Wake Separation Based on Crosswinds

open access: yesAerospace
The effect of crosswinds on paired approach (PA) procedures for Closely Spaced Parallel Runways (CSPR) is investigated in this paper by fully utilizing the crosswind environment to implement a more efficient PA and increase runway capacity.

Soil Moisture Impact on Convective Initiation

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The influence of soil moisture on convective storm initiation remains an open question, with previous studies showing conflicting results regarding whether storms preferentially form over wet or dry soils. Here, we analyze the soil moisture‐convection relationship using satellite observations across North America, Africa, and Australia from ...

Wind, waves, wing loading and the flight energetics of giant petrels

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 1979-1993, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Wind is a major factor driving seabird movement and energetics, the effects of which are modulated by morphology. Developments in tagging technology now make it possible to test predictions from aerodynamic theory about the effects of wind on flight performance in free ...
