Influence of Wall Deformation Structure on the Liquid Film Flow Behavior Under Turbulent Conditions

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To explore the influence of typical wall deformation structure in the scrubbing‐cooling tube on the liquid film, this paper studied the liquid film flow behavior on the riblet walls with representative riblet radii and compared them with the flat wall. Under different liquid film Reynolds numbers (Rel = 8.3 × 103 ~ 3.14 × 104), the liquid film

Revisiting paravertebral muscles in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and European brown hares (Lepus europaeus) (Leporidae; Lagomorpha)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Domesticated European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have long been chosen as laboratory model organisms. Despite this, there has been no definitive study of the vertebral musculature of wild rabbits. Relevant descriptions of well‐studied veterinary model mammals (such as dogs) are generally applicable, but not appropriate for a species ...

Numerical Investigation of Local Scour Around Bridge Pile-Group Foundations Under Steady Flows

Infrastructures
Local scour around pile-group foundations is a predominant cause of hydraulic instability in bridge engineering. This study employs a fully coupled three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model to investigate local scour around a 2 × 2 inline pile

Decreased BOLD Signal Variability in Middle‐Aged and Older Adults on the Autism Spectrum

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder. Preliminary evidence suggests an increased risk for early‐onset cognitive and neurological decline in ASD. While brain development in children, adolescents, and young adults with ASD diverges from neurotypical (NT) peers, it remains unclear in older adults with ASD ...

Local scour of composite cylindrical wind turbine foundation on fine sand seabed under combined waves and current

Energy Informatics
The composite cylindrical wind turbine foundation is characterized by its large-diameter cylindrical base, which offers superior anti-overturning capability, and it is widely used in the soft soil seabed of Jiangsu, China.

Long-term scouring effects on the lateral loading behaviour of monopiles using field monitoring data and finite element modelling

Applied Ocean Research
Scour of the seabed induced by currents and waves poses a critical threat to the serviceability and lifespan of offshore wind turbines. Despite its significance, the mechanisms and temporal evolution of offshore scour remain insufficiently understood ...

Experimental Scours by Impinging Twin-Propeller Jets at Quay Wall

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
Experiments were conducted to investigate the seabed scour holes due to the interaction between the twin-propeller jet and quay wall. Vertical quay wall was modelled by using a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic plate in a water tank.

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...
