Instability of the salinity profile during the evaporation of saline groundwater [PDF]

, 2008
We investigate salt transport during the evaporation and upflow of saline groundwater. We describe a model in which a sharp evaporation-precipitation front separates regions of soil saturated with an air-vapour mixture and with saline water.

Evaluation of the economic and environmental performance of low-temperature heat to power conversion using a reverse electrodialysis - Multi-effect distillation system [PDF]

, 2019
In the examined heat engine, reverse electrodialysis (RED) is used to generate electricity from the salinity difference between two artificial solutions.

Investigation of pressure retarded osmosis power production

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2017
A major source of energy exists where there is mixing between aqueous solutions of different salinities. This energy source is particularly concentrated where fresh water rivers flow on to the ocean.

Characteristics and Driving Mechanisms of Salinity Stratification during the Wet Season in the Pearl River Estuary, China

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
In an estuary, stratification processes play a major role in inhibiting estuarine circulation, sediment transport, and the estuarine ecosystem. A detailed examination of the salinity stratification through the gradient Richardson number and the potential

Ionic thermal up-diffusion in nanofluidic salinity-gradient energy harvesting [PDF]

National Science Review, 2019
Abstract Advances in nanofabrication and materials science give a boost to the research in nanofluidic energy harvesting. Contrary to previous efforts on isothermal conditions, here a study on asymmetric temperature dependence in nanofluidic power generation is conducted. Results are somewhat counterintuitive.

Sublethal salinity stress contributes to habitat limitation in an endangered estuarine fish. [PDF]

, 2016
As global change alters multiple environmental conditions, predicting species' responses can be challenging without understanding how each environmental factor influences organismal performance.
