Large contact angle hysteresis enhances post‐impact droplet oscillations

open access: yesDroplet, Volume 5, Issue 1, January 2026.
Contact angle hysteresis (CAH) sustains high‐order droplet oscillations after impact by enabling nonlinear energy transfer between modes, leading to persistent modulated shape dynamics. Abstract Droplet impact on solid surfaces plays a critical role in a wide range of applications, including inkjet printing, spray cooling, surface coatings, and ...

Support Structure Modelling in Actuator Line Method Large Eddy Simulations of Wind Turbine Wakes

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT While advancements in the prediction of wind turbine loads and wakes within the actuator line method large eddy simulation (ALM‐LES) framework have been an active research topic in recent years, the modelling of the tower and nacelle has received comparatively less attention.

Influence of Laser Energy Deposition Conditions on the Drag of A Sphere in Supersonic Flow

open access: yesEnergies, 2019
In the present study, a two-dimensional axisymmetry unsteady numerical simulation that implements high-frequency laser energy deposition was performed to understand its influence on drag reduction in supersonic flow.

Design of 3D equilibria and coils for steady-state operation of tokamaks

open access: yesNuclear Fusion
Inspired by the respective advantages of tokamaks and stellarators, we propose a quasi-axisymmetric (QA) tokamak-stellarator hybrid concept as a steady-state operation mode of standard tokamaks.

Observed eccentric eyewall structure in Super Typhoon Doksuri (2023) and its potential impact on intensity change

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters
Multi-source observations revealed an atypical double-eyewall structure in Super Typhoon Doksuri (2023), which we define herein as an ‘eccentric eyewall’. Ultimately, the structure evolved into the more familiar concentric eyewall (CE).

Inferring the scrape-off layer heat flux width in a divertor with a low degree of axisymmetry

open access: yesNuclear Materials and Energy
Plasma facing components (PFCs) in the next generation of tokamak devices will operate in challenging environments, with heat loads predicted to exceed 10 MW/m2. The magnitude of these heat loads is set by the width of the channel, the ‘scrape-off layer’

Effect of symmetry-breaking on the MHD edge stability limit of tokamak plasmas

open access: yesNuclear Fusion
We demonstrate for the first time that symmetry-breaking in tokamak plasmas reduces the window of stable edge operational space, leading to a lower achievable edge pressure gradient.

An Investigation on the Effects of Different Stratifications on Negatively Buoyant Jets

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2018
Negatively buoyant jets develop when fluids are released upwards into a lighter fluid or, vice versa, downwards into a heavier fluid. There are many engineering applications, such as the discharge, via submerged outfalls, of brine from desalination ...

Planetesimal formation by an axisymmetric radial bump of the column density of the gas in a protoplanetary disk

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2017
We investigate the effect of a radial pressure bump in a protoplanetary disk on planetesimal formation. We performed the two-dimensional numerical simulation of the dynamical interaction of solid particles and gas with an initially defined pressure bump ...
