TL;DR: In this article, smoke flow visualization shows that both steady and unsteady vortex systems exist and pressure distributions beneath both types of vortex systems have been measured and the variation of the horseshoe vortex position on the plane of symmetry upstream of the cylinder has been determined.

TL;DR: The prospects for continuing to reduce lodging risk through the selection of shorter genotypes may be limited and there does appear to be significant scope for increasing lodging resistance by strengthening the stem and the anchorage system by exploiting the wide genetic variation in these plant characters and through crop management decisions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the aerodynamic behavior of high speed trains is investigated for both still air conditions and cross-wind conditions, and the flow field is described for a number of flow regions such as around the nose of the train, along the side, roof and underbody of a train, and in the wake of train.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors have described the nature of the horseshoe vortex system and measured the pressure distribution under the vortex system, and the variation of the vortex and boundary layer separation position with the flow parameters.

TL;DR: The last decade has seen a considerable increase in the amount and availability of remotely sensed data, which can be beneficial for a number of uses, such as urban heat island measurements as discussed by the authors.
