A new drag and lift correlation for spherocylinders from fully resolved Immersed Boundary Method

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Many industrial processes deal with non‐spherical particles, e.g., mineral mining and biomass conversion. It is crucial to understand the particles' hydrodynamics to control and optimize these processes. To extend the current state‐of‐the‐art from arrays of spherical particles to spherocylindrical particles, we performed extensive particle ...

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.

Acoustic‐driven surface cleaning with millimeter‐sized bubbles at translational resonance

Droplet, EarlyView.
Time‐lapse visualization comparing bubble trajectories. The top panel (0 Hz) shows a bubble's linear path under no acoustic forcing, while the bottom panel (50 Hz) demonstrates the oscillatory motion induced by acoustic waves at a resonance mode. This mechanism holds promising potential for applications such as surface cleaning.

The damage and failure mechanism of prestatically loaded rock during medium‐strain rate cyclic impact loading

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Based on experimental results and theoretical analysis, an established rock damage accumulation model that comprehensively considers the preapplied static load, impact peak value, impact frequency, and impact times. Abstract To study the rock damage mechanism under high static loading and superimposed medium strain rate cyclic impact loading, a series ...

Bed‐scale quantitative discrimination of hyperpycnites from intrabasinal turbidites—Results from a channelised slope system in the Upper Carboniferous Westward Ho! Formation, United Kingdom

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Features considered indicative of hyperpycnites and intrabasinal turbidites overlap. Outcrop study presented here suggests that the Westward Ho! Formation forms an 800 m high deepwater‐slope system dominated by hyperpycnites. Taking this unit, and other successions where hyperpycnites have been described, as having been deposited solely from ...

System Identification of Robotic Fish Swimming Reveals Roles of Reactive and Resistive Fluid Force in Two Distinct Swimming Gaits

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
System identification and particle image velocimetry reveal how a modular robotic fish changes thrust physics across gaits. A traveling‐wave, fish‐like motion draws thrust from resistive drag, while a resonant standing‐wave motion is driven by reactive pressure.

Ocean Wave Modulation of Offshore Wind Turbine Loads and Wake

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines how wave‐induced modulation affects the operational performance and structural dynamics of fixed‐bottom offshore wind turbines operating under a neutral atmospheric boundary layer profile. To capture these effects accurately while maintaining computational efficiency, unsteady RANS modelling techniques are employed.

Impacts of Blade Camber on Cross‐Flow Turbine Performance and Loading

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Cross‐flow turbines show promise for renewable energy generation from wind and tidal sources. The rotating reference frame of cross‐flow turbine blades results in virtual camber and incidence due to streamline curvature, altering the lift, drag, and pitching moment of the blades. Adding geometric camber is therefore likely to alter performance
