3D investigation and modeling of the geometric effects on porosity in packed beds
AIChE Journal, Volume 72, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract In porous beds, physical boundaries restrict particle arrangement, leading to inhomogeneous porosity. This paper reports on the porosity profiles that are the result of geometric effects on monodisperse packed beds in cylindrical and cubic arrangements. Special focus is given to the influence of edges and corners in cubic geometries.

Random Structures &Algorithms, Volume 68, Issue 3, May 2026.ABSTRACT Binary search trees (BSTs) are fundamental data structures whose performance is largely governed by tree height. We introduce a block model for constructing BSTs by embedding internal BSTs into the nodes of an external BST—a structure motivated by parallel data architectures—corresponding to composite permutations formed via Kronecker or ...
