Ion‐Flow Field Modelling of ± 1100 kV Transmission Lines Under Strong‐Wind Scenarios Using the Multiple Relaxation Time Lattice Boltzmann Method

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To solve the ion‐flow field of ultrahigh‐voltage direct current (UHVDC) transmission lines under strong‐wind scenarios, the multiple relaxation time lattice Boltzmann method (MRT‐LBM) is adopted. Compared with previous ion‐flow studies predominantly based on the single relaxation time LBM, the MRT‐LBM framework provides improved numerical ...

Obligation, Exemption and Remission: The Multi‐Layered Functioning of the Poll Tax (Cizye) in Ottoman Governance during the Long Eighteenth Century

History, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the poll tax (Ottoman Turkish cizye; Arabic jizya) levied on non‐Muslim subjects of the Ottoman Empire, not as a fixed, one‐dimensional tax item within the Ottoman fiscal system but as a multi‐layered administrative instrument organized around obligation, exemption and remission.
