Review of CFD modelling techniques for single‐phase and multiphase flow in static mixers

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approaches for static mixers, linking hydrodynamics to pressure drop, particle/droplet distributions, mixing metrics, and heat‐transfer performance to guide modelling choices and design decisions. Abstract Static mixers enable compact and low‐energy intensification.

Bayesian inverse ensemble forecasting for COVID‐19

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Variations in strains of COVID‐19 have a significant impact on the rate of surges and on the accuracy of forecasts of the epidemic dynamics. The primary goal for this article is to quantify the effects of varying strains of COVID‐19 on ensemble forecasts of individual “surges.” By modelling the disease dynamics with an SIR model, we solve the ...

From Nature to Supply Chain: Exploring Biomimicry‐Based Pathways to Sustainability and Competitive Advantage

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Inspired by insights gleaned from biomimicry theory, this paper addresses the persistent lack of theoretically grounded research in sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) and examines how nature‐inspired biomimicry principles could enhance various dimensions of its competitiveness. This study's theoretical contribution lies in its proposal

Review and prospects of shear test of bolted rock joints

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The laboratory shear test equipment, test method, and numerical simulation of bolted rock joints were summarized. The shortcomings and limitations of the current research were analyzed, and the research prospects were proposed. Abstract Rock bolting is a critical approach in geotechnical engineering for supporting weak rocks.

Latitudinal effect on the structure of snake–prey interaction networks is mediated by snake species richness

Ecography, EarlyView.
Despite the growing number of studies on trophic networks in recent decades, there are still important gaps in our understanding of how these networks are structured across broad environmental gradients. These gaps are even greater in some groups of terrestrial vertebrates, such as snakes, requiring a cohesive synthesis of their broader trophic ...

How Multiple Streams Influence Agenda‐Setting for Water Reuse in Swiss Substates

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As climate change creates significant challenges for both the environment and society, potential mitigation and adaptation solutions are widely discussed. Yet, neither challenges nor their potential solutions automatically reach the political agenda or lead to a policy decision.

Functorial Results for C*-Algebras of Higher-Rank Graphs [PDF]

, 2016
: Higher-rank graphs, or k-graphs, are higher-dimensional analogues of directed graphs, and as with ordinary directed graphs, there are various C*-algebraic objects that can be associated with them.

Immersed Boundary Projection Method for Boundaries With Slip Velocities

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.
A formulation of the immersed boundary method for incompressible flow over arbitrarily‐shaped bodies with surface slip described by the Navier boundary condition is presented. The wall slip velocity and the boundary force are determined implicitly through a projection to satisfy both the boundary condition and the divergence‐free condition of the ...
