Ablation debris control by means of closed thick film filtered water immersion [PDF]
The performance of laser ablation generated debris control by means of open immersion techniques have been shown to be limited by flow surface ripple effects on the beam and the action of ablation plume pressure loss by splashing of the immersion fluid ...

Swimming performances in long distance open-water events with and without wetsuit [PDF]
Existing literature showed improved swimming performances for swimmers wearing wetsuits competing under standardized conditions in races held in pools on short to middle distances. Data about the influence of wetsuits on swimming performances in long and ultra-long open-water swimming races are missing.

The Impacts of Spatially Variable Demand Patterns on Water Distribution System Design and Operation [PDF]
Open Access articleResilient water distribution systems (WDSs) need to minimize the level of service failure in terms of magnitude and duration over its design life when subject to exceptional conditions. This requires WDS design to consider scenarios as

Generalization and evaluation of the process-based forest ecosystem model PnET-CN for other biomes [PDF]
Terrestrial ecosystems play an important role in carbon, water, and nitrogen cycling. Process-based ecosystem models, including PnET-CN, have been widely used to simulate ecosystem processes during the last two decades.

A New Parallel Framework of SPH-SWE for Dam Break Simulation Based on OpenMP [PDF]
Due to its Lagrangian nature, Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) has been used to solve a variety of fluid-dynamic processes with highly nonlinear deformation such as debris flows, wave breaking and impact, multi-phase mixing processes, jet impact ...

Comparison of some chemical and non-chemical treatments to disinfect a recirculating nutrient solution [PDF]
Closed hydroponic growing systems have a better water use efficiency (WUE) and a lower use of fertilizers, but a larger risk of spreading soil-borne pathogens all over the crop compared to open systems.

Numerical Study of Scale Effects of Tip Clearance Flow Field of Pump-Jet Propulsor
Due to the tip clearance of the pump-jet propulsor (PJP), the flow field characteristics in the PJP are more complicated. To explore the influence of scale effects on the tip clearance flow field of PJP, the unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes ...
