Critical evaluation of compost erosion control blankets (CECBs) against conventional best management practices (BMPs) for the prevention and control of soil erosion, nutrient loss and storm water runoff from engineered slopes under simulated UK conditions [PDF]
, 2010 In recent decades increasing attention has been dedicated to issues of sustainable land management. Soil is essential for a number of functions and services which are central to the sustainability of agro-ecosystems and the global economy ...

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract NOx emissions from gas boilers severely impact the environment, and flue gas recirculation (FGR) technology can effectively reduce such emissions, yet the effects of different FGR rates on combustion performance and NOx formation remain unclear. This study thus used numerical simulation (via ANSYS Fluent, adopting the realizable k‐ε turbulence

Simulated changes in extreme rainfall over southern Africa
, 1997 A general circulation model simulation is used to investigate possible changes in rainfall over southern Africa resulting from a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Simulated increases in rainfall intensity are found to be a spatially coherent and an

Beyond goniometry: 3D digital twinning of droplets from a single image
Droplet, EarlyView.We present a method to produce physics‐informed three‐dimensional digital twins of droplets from a single image for wettability analyses. We validate the method with goniometry and demonstrate its capabilities with advancing‐receding contact angle measurements, irregularly shaped droplets, and multi‐droplet systems, indicating strong potential for in ...

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Triaxial compression tests under unloading confining pressure conditions were conducted to systematically analyze the permeability behavior of granite retrieved from the different classification surrounding rocks. Abstract The rock mass within mountain tunnels undergoes complex changes in permeability, strength, and deformation during tunneling ...
