Direct numerical simulation of pattern formation in subaqueous sediment

open access: yes, 2014
We present results of direct numerical simulation of incompressible fluid flow over a thick bed of mobile, spherically-shaped particles. The algorithm is based upon the immersed boundary technique for fluid-solid coupling and uses a soft-sphere model for

Sequence determinants of RNA G‐quadruplex unfolding by Arg‐rich regions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We show that Arg‐rich peptides selectively unfold RNA G‐quadruplexes, but not RNA stem‐loops or DNA/RNA duplexes. This length‐dependent activity is inhibited by acidic residues and is conserved among SR and SR‐related proteins (SRSF1, SRSF3, SRSF9, U1‐70K, and U2AF1).

Analysis of Aerodynamic Noise Characteristics of High-Speed Train Pantograph with Different Installation Bases

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
The high-speed-train pantograph is a complex structure that consists of different rod-shaped and rectangular surfaces. Flow phenomena around the pantograph are complicated and can cause a large proportion of aerodynamic noise, which is one of the main ...

Energy harvesting efficiency of piezoelectric flags in axial flows [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
International audienceSelf-sustained oscillations resulting from fluid-solid instabilities, such as the flutter of a flexible flag in axial flow, can be used to harvest energy if one is able to convert the solid energy into electricity.

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Research on aerodynamic optimization of high-speed train’s slipstream

open access: yesEngineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics, 2020
Slipstream severely affects the safety of trackside workers and equipment. With use of profile superimposition method and vehicle modeling method, parametrization of the whole train is carried out. Then, a slipstream optimization study has been performed,

Brownian dynamics of rigid particles in an incompressible fluctuating fluid by a meshfree method

open access: yes, 2015
A meshfree Lagrangian method for the fluctuating hydrodynamic equations (FHEs) with fluid-structure interactions is presented. Brownian motion of the particle is investigated by direct numerical simulation of the fluctuating hydrodynamic equations.

Mycobacterial cell division arrest and smooth‐to‐rough envelope transition using CRISPRi‐mediated genetic repression systems

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
CRISPRI‐mediated gene silencing and phenotypic exploration in nontuberculous mycobacteria. In this Research Protocol, we describe approaches to control, monitor, and quantitatively assess CRISPRI‐mediated gene silencing in M. smegmatis and M. abscessus model organisms.

Analysis of the Transonic Buffet Characteristics of Stationary and Pitching OAT15A Airfoil

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Transonic buffet flow is a classical complex and unstable flow that has a negative effect on aircraft fly safety. Therefore, it is crucial to study the unsteady characteristics of buffet flow. The numerical analysis method is very useful in achieving the

Phase field model of premelting of grain boundaries

open access: yes, 2001
We present a phase field model of solidification which includes the effects of the crystalline orientation in the solid phase. This model describes grain boundaries as well as solid-liquid boundaries within a unified framework. With an appropriate choice
