Assessments of climate change impacts on streamflow and sediment processes are essential for developing science‐based sustainable watershed management plans. We assessed climate change impacts on streamflow and sediment load in the upstream of the Mekong River Basin, as a case study. Future climate scenarios including an ensemble‐mean climate scenario (EnM scenario) were generated based on 20 GCMs in CMIP5, using a stochastic...

Snow and glacier are important components in the hydrological cycle of the Tibetan Plateau (TP). Air temperature, as the main driver in freezing and thawing processes, becomes vital for hydrological modelling and prediction in this region. Due to a sparse ground gauging network, spatial density of air temperature measurement is insufficient for hydro‐meteorological studies. Therefore, the aim of this study is to identify the b...

The contact mechanics model of the metal lens-type sealing gasket is established on the basis of Hertz theory on the macroscopical scale in this paper. The relationship among sealing width, contact pressure, and preload is solved. Based on the structural characteristics of the subsea collet connector, the self-locking characteristics are analyzed to determine the gain coefficient of the sealing structure for the loading thrust...
