An unstructured CFD mini‐application for the performance prediction of a production CFD code [PDF]
SummaryMaintaining the performance of large scientific codes is a difficult task. To aid in this task, a number of mini‐applications have been developed that are more tractable to analyze than large‐scale production codes while retaining the performance characteristics of them. These “mini‐apps” also enable faster hardware evaluation and, for sensitive

Laser remelting of a CrMnFeCoNi high‐entropy alloy reveals that optimal chemical homogenization occurs between 30 and 40 J·mm−2. Within this range, elemental segregation is reduced by over 30% compared to the as‐cast state. The study establishes this window as a fast, effective alternative to prolonged annealing for achieving uniform elemental ...

CFD: an efficient active queue management algorithm with CFD
The existence of the bufferbloat and high‐bandwidth non‐adaptive flows results in the high queuing delay, which affects the performance of interactive applications, and the inter‐flow unfairness, respectively. To solve above‐mentioned issues, an efficient active queue management algorithm with Controlling Fairness and Delay (CFD) is proposed. Different

In this article, a water‐evaporation driven energy harvester is devised that works even in the absence of sunlight. This is achieved by combining PVA hydrogel with thermoelectrics (TEG) to directly capture energy from water evaporation. Under mild conditions (RH 40%, T of 26 °C, and 2.8 m s−1 wind), 1.71 mW (1.02 W m−2) power can be generated, >3 fold ...
