The role of the thermal conductivity of steel in quantitative elastohydrodynamic friction by Habchi, Wassim

“…Only recently did the Tribology community realize this “mistake”, of which the impact on friction predictions is investigated in this work. The mistake is found to lead to significant overestimations of friction in the thermo-viscous regime.…”

Quantitative Compressibility Effects in Thermal Elastohydrodynamic Circular Contacts by Habchi, W.

“…It is also observed that the relative errors on central film thicknesses induced by the use of the Dowson and Higginson relationship for compressibility increase with load and temperature and are very little affected by mean entrainment speed. Compressibility is shown to be a significant source of error in film-derived measurements of pressure-viscosity coefficients especially at high temperature. …”

Anatomy of a Severe Dust Storm in the Middle East: Impacts on Aerosol Optical Properties and Radiation Budget by Christos Fountoukis (4722963)

“…The simulations and remotely sensed measurements showed good correlation for the aerosol optical depth parameter, which reached a value of 3.0 on 2 April 2015 in the region. In agreement with satellite-derived estimates, the model predicted a significant storm-induced reduction in the shortwave radiation (150 to 300 W m–2) reaching the eastern Arabian Peninsula, and the Gulf waters, and a considerable drop in the precipitable water (by a factor of 6) between 01 and 03 of April 2015. …”
