ABSTRACT The avian eggshell is a sophisticated, multi‐functional biocomposite and, more importantly, an autonomous life‐support system evolved to safeguard embryonic development across dynamic and hostile environments. Discussing eggshell‐inspired biomaterials beyond simple structural imitation, this review translates these evolutionary survival ...

Performance of a Mixed Least‐Squares Finite Element Formulation With Application in Poroelasticity
ABSTRACT A mixed least‐squares finite element method (LSFEM), previously proposed for the theory of porous media (TPM), is further investigated in this work. Finite deformation of a fully saturated, incompressible solid–fluid binary system is studied using the LSFEM.

Influence of Thermal Boundary Conditions on Heat Transfer in Turbulent Annular Pipes
ABSTRACT Turbulent concentric annular pipe flow with heat transfer is investigated using the stochastic one‐dimensional turbulence (ODT) model. In the present study, annular pipe flow is investigated at fixed bulk Reynolds number ReDh=17700$\mathit {Re}_{D_{\rm h}}=17\,700$ and Prandtl number Pr=0.71$\mathit {Pr}=0.71$ using two different thermal ...

On the Computation of Crack Surface Normals in the Phase‐Field Model of Hydraulic Fracture
ABSTRACT Hydraulic fracturing techniques have been used to extract oil from the Earth's crust and to enhance the efficiency of geothermal systems among other applications. Numerical simulation of hydraulic fracturing is essential for predicting the environmental impact of this method, as well as its efficiency in such applications. In the present work,

The Earth's Greatest Porous Media
Abstract How deeply does modern meteoric water circulate into the continental crust? How deep is the Earth's Critical Zone (CZ), the top layer of the continental lithosphere that co‐evolves with the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere, extending from vegetation canopy down to fresh bedrock and the base of active groundwater circulation?
