Multi‐Year Nutrient and Organic Carbon Mass Balance of a Young Boreal Hydroelectric Reservoir Complex

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 130, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract Reservoir construction can alter the transport and export of nutrients and organic matter by rivers to coastal areas. However, influences from construction within the first years after flooding are not well understood. Here we present a 9‐year study of La Romaine Hydroelectric Complex, composed of four cascading boreal reservoirs sequentially ...

A Tale of Evolution of the Central Indian Tectonic Zone (CITZ) With Glimpses on Pre‐Suture Plate Margin Depositional History

open access: yesGeological Journal, Volume 60, Issue 2, Page 404-430, February 2025.
Present study explains the current understanding about the complex evolution of the CITZ. New zircon geochronological data from Mahakoshal Basin is used to document the pre‐suture history of the southern margin of Bundelkhand Craton where Mahakoshal Basin developed as a back‐arc basin and remained open even after 1700 Ma.

Wind Turbine Optimization by Blade Element Momentum Method and Particle Swarm Optimization Technique

open access: yesJournal of Engineering, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The aerodynamic efficiency of wind turbines is greatly influenced by the shape of their airfoils. In this study, four airfoils were optimized to enhance the performance of a small horizontal axis wind turbine. The optimization process involved adjusting the thickness and camber of the airfoils using the blade element momentum method and particle swarm ...

Experimental Parameters Influencing the Cavitation Noise of an Oscillating NACA0015 Hydrofoil

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
The strong increase in anthropogenic underwater noise has caused a growing intention to design quieter ships given that ship propellers are one of the dominating noise sources along the worldwide shipping routes. This creates an imminent demand for deeper knowledge on the noise generation mechanisms of propeller cavitation.

Identification of the vortex in the main flow passage of a multiphase pump and the relationship with pressure fluctuation

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 12, Issue 10, Page 4394-4413, October 2024.
This study develops a method of identifying vortices in the impeller channel of the multiphase pump, and reveals the intrinsic connection between the vortices and pressure fluctuations in the main flow passage. These findings offer some suggestions for eliminating the influence of vortices and enhancing the pressurizing capabilities of multiphase pumps.

A Soft Robotic Morphing Wing for Unmanned Underwater Vehicles

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 6, Issue 6, June 2024.
This study presents the design and hydrodynamic characterization of a soft wing for implementation on underwater gliders. Through hydraulic actuation, the soft wing deforms and adjusts its lift‐to‐drag ratio, which ranges from −70% to +10% with respect to a rigid wing.

Computational Study of Oscillating Hydrofoil with Different Plunging/Pitching Frequency

open access: yesJournal of Aero Aqua Bio-mechanisms, 2010
A numerical investigation of an oscillating hydrofoil with unequal plunging/pitching frequency is conducted by solving unsteady Navier-Stokes equations. Studies are performed for the impact of different frequency ratio on the wake structure and propulsion parameters over a wide range of plunging amplitude, pitching amplitude and oscillating reduced ...

Undulatory Propulsion at Milliscale on Water Surface

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 11, Issue 19, May 22, 2024.
The water‐surface propulsion of an undulatory swimmer stems from the complex interplay of various forces that are generated by the body's waveform and the waves at the water‐air interface. Adjusting the material and dimensions of the body, along with the excitation manner of the head, allows for tuning of the swimmer's waveform that is crucial for ...
