Reynolds stresses under wind waves

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 1987
This paper describes a series of wave measurements, taken from an oceanographic tower, concerning water particle kinematics. Attention is focused on the phase relationship between surface elevation and the velocity components. Large phase shifts with respect to the expected values are found under active wave conditions, while swell behavior closely ...

Wind Stress Analysis Simplified

Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers, 1934
One of the most difficult problems that the structural engineer must solve is the analysis of stresses in a continuous frame in which joint displacements occur.

Testing loblolly pine wind firmness with simulated wind stress

Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 1993
The forces and mechanics related to the wind firmness of 30-year-old loblolly pine (Pinustaeda L.) trees were tested by toppling them with a winch and cable system. The ability of trees to resist toppling, expressed as the critical turning moment, was determined by measuring the force exerted by the winch and the height on the tree where the center of

Seasonal patterns of wind stress and wind stress curl over the Gulf of Mexico

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 1996
Meteorological observations from an array of stations deployed along the periphery of the Gulf of Mexico, between 1990 and 1993, are used to describe the seasonal fluctuations in patterns of atmospheric variables from a contemporary set of measurements.

The Leipzig wind profile and the boundary layer wind-stress relationship

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 1973
AbstractSwinbank's recent claim that Mildner's so‐called Leipzig wind profile data for the atmospheric boundary layer support the hypothesis that the shearing stress vector and the wind vector are parallel, is critically examined and compared with the conflicting classical hypothesis that stress and velocity shear are parallel as previously applied by ...

Ocean Surface Wind Stress

1984
There is an urgent need in physical oceanography, meteorology, marine operations and climate research for improved surface wind and wind stress information. Much can be done to improve our knowledge through better collection of existing observations, deployment of properly instrumented drifting buoys, better calibration and collection of cloud motion ...

Linkages of stress, reverse stress and wind-down

Journal of Securities Operations & Custody, 2017
Companies are increasing their global footprints every day, in addition to their already complex corporate structures, business models and competition against peer firms. Furthermore, companies have to survive in ever-changing markets facing challenges, such as geopolitical effects, macroeconomics, regulatory and technology developments, to name but a ...

Breaking of wind waves and the sea surface wind stress

Journal of the Oceanographical Society of Japan, 1970
In the conventional treatment of the coefficient of sea surface wind stress by plotting it against 10-m wind speed, there are inevitable discrepancies among results of various investigators. The reason is considered to lie primarily in the fact that the state of the sea surface or of waves is disregarded, which may have great influence on the sea ...

Mechanical stresses in transformer windings

Journal of the Institution of Electrical Engineers - Part I: General, 1946
The forces and stresses set up in transformer windings and their clamping structures, as the result of external or internal short-circuits or of switching operations, are considered in detail. Various arrangements of windings and tappings in large power transformers are described.

Wind Stress on Water Surfaces

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 1956
Various attempts to estimate the total wind stress at the sea surface are briefly reviewed, and the difficulties in the application of the methods used in the past are discussed. The results obtained under natural conditions, that is over larger bodies of water, such as the open sea or large lakes, agree fairly well with each other ...
