Impact of MgO Additions on the Oxidation Resistance and Compression Behavior of Vanadium Alloys
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.An increase in oxidation resistance at 600 °C is achieved for alloys containing more than 2.5 wt.% MgO. It has been established that, along with V2O5, MgO6V2, and Mg2O7V2 are formed, which are presumed to enhance oxidative stability. Furthermore, the possible transformation of Mg‐vanadates through reaction with CO2, which presumably occurs in this ...

Rip currents in the non-tidal surf zone with sandbars: numerical analysis versus field measurements
Oceanologia, 2020 Summary: Rip currents, which are local seaward-directed jets with their mean velocity exceeding 0.5 m/s, have been a subject of many studies since the 1940s.

Estimations of rip current rescues and drowning in the United States [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2019 Rip currents are the greatest hazard to swimmers on surf beaches, but due to a lack of consistent incident reporting in many countries, it is often difficult to quantify the number of rip-current-related rescues and drowning deaths occurring along surf ...

Rip Currents on a Cornish Beach [PDF]
Nature, 1965 RIP currents have been measured at Holywell in West Cornwall, where a sandy beach is open to waves and swells from the Atlantic. A rip current is a narrow streak of water which flows seawards from the beach; it carries the return flow of the general shorewards transport of water produced by the breaking of waves.

Modeling Rip Current Systems around Multiple Submerged Breakwaters
Journal of Marine Science and EngineeringMultiple submerged breakwaters (MSBWs) are commonly used coastal protection structures due to their specific advantages over the emerged ones. Rip currents, as the inevitable natural hazard in the gaps of these constructions, are investigated numerically
