Future climate evolution is of primary importance for the societal, economical, political orientations and decision-making. It explains the increasing use of climate projections as input for quantitative impact studies, assessing vulnerability and defining adaptation strategies in different...

The simulation of the aerothermal environment that a space vehicle experiences during the atmospheric descent is mandatory for the design of thermal shields of re-entry vehicles. In this framework, both numerical and experimental design approaches, as computational fluid dynamics and plasma wind...

A mathematical model able to deal with high temperature gas effects in hypersonic flow fields is presented. In order to assess this model, four typical hypersonic applications are considered. The numerical results are presented and compared with experimental data. The effects of the catalyticity...

In this paper we have put forward a Bayesian framework for the analysis and testing of possible non-stationarities in extreme events. We use the extreme value theory to model temperature and precipitation data in the Dar es Salaam region, Tanzania. Temporal trends are modeled writing the...
