Vortex-Resistance Hypothesis: Large Eddy Simulation of Turbulent Flow in Isolated Pool- Riffle Units

E3S Web of Conferences, 2018
By numerical simulations of turbulent flow in isolated poolriffle units with various riffle heights, four different types of vortices were found and named as follows: surface rollers (SR), corner rollers (CR), ramp rollers (CR), and axial tails (AT ...

The Role of Sediment Supply on Fish Habitat Dynamics of a Morphologically Active River Widening

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Restoration measures, such as river widening, aim to reactivate key morphodynamic processes, which are critical drivers of fluvial habitat dynamics. While some evidence supports the important role of sediment supply on river widening's morphology, its link to fish habitat availability and dynamics remains unclear.

Evaluating land–sea linkages using land cover change and coral reef monitoring data: A case study from northeastern Puerto Rico

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Land cover change that leads to increased nutrient and sediment runoff is an important driver of change in coral reef ecosystems. In this study, we combined satellite remote sensing and field monitoring to assess concomitant changes in watershed land cover and coral cover in northeastern Puerto Rico in 2000–2015.

Efficient Harvesting of Irregular and Low‐Frequency Mechanical Energy via Hybridized Electromagnetic‐Triboelectric Systems

Small, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) and wearable electronics necessitates sustainable power sources to replace the limited electrochemical battery. While mechanical energy harvesting offers a promising solution, traditional harvesters face challenges of irregular and low−frequency environmental sources. This review presents the

Analyses of the Deformability and Chemistry of Non‐Metallic Inclusions in QT Steels With Increased Recycling‐Induced Tramp Element Content

steel research international, EarlyView.
This work uses high‐temperature dilatometry to examine how the tramp elements Cu, Ni, and Sn affect the deformability of non‐metallic inclusions and matrix in quench‐and‐temper steel. Mg‐bearing inclusions deform less than Mg‐free ones. Copper lowers formability. Nickel increases deformability.

Experiments to classify in-ground stilling basins and determine the factors affecting the optimization of flood mitigation dams

Results in Engineering
A ''stilling basin'' is a structure used downstream of a dam to reduce energy flow and prevent damage to the dam structure or erosion downstream. The literature on energy dissipation in stilling basins has identified mechanisms such as abrupt drops ...

Mechanical, rheological, and durability performances of GGBS‐based concrete for potential application to prestressed structures

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Ground granulated blast‐furnace slag (GGBS) is a widely used clinker substitute in concrete, recognized for its potential to significantly reduce environmental impacts. However, its application in prestressed concrete remains limited in several countries, mainly due to concerns regarding early‐age mechanical performance and long‐term ...

Soil wetting and drying processes influence stone artefact distribution in clay‐rich soils: A case study from Middle Gidley Island in Murujuga, northwest Western Australia

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Soils that contain swelling clay minerals (e.g., montmorillonite) expand and contract during wetting and drying, causing movement within the soil profile. This process, known as argilliturbation, can alter artefact distributions, destroy stratigraphy and complicate the interpretation of archaeological deposits.
