Thermo-fluid characteristics and second law analysis of an inclined two-fluid system with variable surface roughness

open access: yesCase Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2022
The present numerical study focuses on the analysis of thermodynamic characteristics of an inclined two-fluid system (Al2O3-water and CuO-water nanofluids) having a heat conducting partition wall of variable surface roughness with constant geometric ...

No Art on a Dead Planet: Political Iconoclasm as Climate Activism

open access: yesJournal of Applied Philosophy, Volume 43, Issue 1, Page 215-234, February 2026.
ABSTRACT A trend has recently emerged among climate activists of attacking artworks as a means of registering protest. I analyse this mode of protest, which I term political iconoclasm, and offer a novel partial defence of political iconoclasm as a protest strategy for environmental activists. I focus on Just Stop Oil's attack on van Gogh's Sunflowers.

Freeze‐Thaw Processes Induce Convective Fingering in Saline Soils

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.
Abstract Saline soils in cold regions are often affected by freeze‐thaw processes, yet how these processes affect two‐dimensional salt transport dynamics remains poorly understood. Here, we show the importance of two‐dimensional flow induced by seasonal freeze‐thaw processes based on a validated numerical model.
