Cold Climate Building Research at Wasa Base, Antarctica
During the Antarctic summer season of 1988-89 a permanent Swedish research station was erected at Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica. The station, named Wasa, is situated on a nunatak. A corresponding...
The River Ice Management (RIM) Program: Developing New Options for Waterways Operations in Winter
Most of the navigable inland waterways of the United States are utilized year-round. In northern portions of this network (mainly parts of the Ohio and Upper Mississippi River basins),...
Wind Tunnel Modeling of Time-Dependent Drift Topography
The aeolian wind tunnel is a useful tool for investigating not only the saltation physics of wind-driven sand, soil or snow, but also for determining the time-dependent development of...
Spray and Ice Measurement Instrumentation for Ships
Bow slamming is the primary water delivery mechanism for ship superstructure icing. Spray flux is largely dependent upon hull dynamics, and cannot be computed numerically with current...
