Simulations were conducted for a constant canyon aspect ratio of W/H = 3, where W is the street width and H is the building height. Three different overhang lengths were simulated with P = 0H, 0.5H, and 1H in order to derive the mean and instantaneous flow characteristics. The results are compared with wind tunnel experiments for validation. The LES results of the mean flow with the P = 0H condition agree fairly well with the wind tunnel data. However, profiles of the standard deviation for the streamwise and vertical velocity components show large discrepancies at all measured locations. In addition, an increase in overhang length on both building facades significantly modifies the in-canyon flow pattern by limiting the penetration of the bulk flow into the canyon layer.","PeriodicalId":11722,"journal":{"name":"Engineering sciences reports, Kyushu University","volume":"11 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87767899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through a comparison between the new dataset and existing datasets (etopo5, etopo1, gebco08), characteristics of each dataset, including the existence of artificial features derived from erroneous sounding data or a conversion error of depth units, were documented for each dataset. It was found that small-scale bathymetric features observed along the shelf edge in gebco08 bathymetry are bounded by survey lines and were likely to be a spurious figure generated when applying a high-order interpolation scheme. Tidal simulations conducted with changing bathymetries have shown that the newly compiled dataset will produce smaller deviation from observed values than the existing bathymetries. While all four datasets analyzed in this study were found to be suitable for estimating overall tidal features of the South China Sea, a care must be taken when applying the tidal model results to a particular coastal region.","PeriodicalId":11722,"journal":{"name":"Engineering sciences reports, Kyushu University","volume":"324 1","pages":"7-13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77584233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Surface temperature was recorded with high-frequency (10Hz) infrared camera, along with wind speed and solar radiation. Complementarily, air temperature was also measured at three heights in the near-wall region of a block surface using fine-wire thermocouples. Results showed the similarity of distribution between surface temperature and scalar transfer coefficient. We also found that 10s averaging period may be appropriate for the analysis of surface temperature fluctuation affected by turbulent airflow. In the near-wall region under particularly calm wind condition, air temperature fluctuation caused by a hot plume arising from the warmed surface was observed. The method presented in this study seems to be a promising tool to analyze surface temperature characteristics of scale-models in urban climate studies.","PeriodicalId":11722,"journal":{"name":"Engineering sciences reports, Kyushu University","volume":"24 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78412638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sensor became saturated at ±200 A input current, but no hysteresis was observed throughout the whole range of measurement. In a measurement range of ±20 A, the sensitivity was 0.603 mV/A, the linearity error was ±0.7 %, and the temperature error characteristics were -0.2 %/°C from 0 °C to 30 °C. This hysteresis-free current sensor would be useful in energy-efficient power systems to enable accurate current monitoring, especially in dc power-distribution systems.","PeriodicalId":11722,"journal":{"name":"Engineering sciences reports, Kyushu University","volume":"74 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83434925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With this enhancement we succeeded to operate a double relaxation oscillation SQUID (DROS) first-order gradiometer.
