Temporal Characteristics of Heat Waves and Cold Spells and Their Links to Atmospheric Circulation in EURO-CORDEX RCMs by Eva Plavcová, Jan Kyselý

“…Most model runs have an enhanced tendency to group hot/cold days into sequences, with several simulations leading to extremely long heat waves or cold spells (the maximum length overestimated by up to 2-3 times). All simulations also produce an extreme winter season with (often considerably) higher number of cold days than in any observed winter. …”

Influence of Inlet Angle of Guide Vane on Hydraulic Performance of an Axial Flow Pump Based on CFD by Lei Xu, Dongtao Ji, Wei Shi, Bo Xu, Weigang Lu, Linguang Lu

“…Considering the support function and hydraulic loss of the guide vane, the inlet segment axial chord is set to 0.25 times the axial chord of guide vane. On the basis of the inlet angle of the guide vane under design conditions, when the inlet segment angle is turned counterclockwise, the pump segment efficiency is improved in the lower flow rate region; moreover, the pump segment efficiency is improved in the larger flow rate region when the inlet segment angle is turned clockwise. …”
