A case study on multi-lane roundabouts under congestion: Comparing software capacity and delay estimates with field data
Abstract Existing studies on modern roundabouts performance are mostly based on data from singe lane roundabouts that are not heavily congested. For planners and designers interested in building multilane roundabouts for intersections with potential ...

Considering the Distributed Series Resistance in a Two-diode Model
Abstract The interpretation of the global current-voltage (I-V) characteristic of solar cells is usually based on the two-diode model, which regards a homogeneous current flow. Due to the distributed character of the series resistance this...

Inhibition Effect of Water Injection on Afterburning of Rocket Motor Exhaust Plume
Abstract One of the most important characteristic signatures of the exhaust plume from rocket motor is the afterburning phenomenon, and the injected water into the plume could inhibit the afterburning. The calculation model for the gas-liquid...
