Optimal design of a pipe isolation plugging tool using a computational fluid dynamics simulation with response surface methodology and a modified genetic algorithm

Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2017
In this work, the flow effects on an isolation plugging tool in a pipeline were numerically investigated using computational fluid dynamics. The study focused on optimal parameter design for the isolation plugging tool, which reduced the unsteady force ...

A simplified two‐station approach for modeling metabolism in dam tailwaters subject to diel flow variation

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Tailwaters are ubiquitous and highly managed ecosystems whose food webs often rely disproportionately on autochthonous energy. In situ continuous dissolved oxygen data are increasingly being used to estimate gross primary productivity and ecosystem respiration in rivers, but this approach is complicated in tailwaters, where upriver ...

Market Interviews in Shared Traumatic Reality: A Trauma‐Informed, Co‐Constructed Framework

Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Qualitative market interviews may become trauma‐sensitive when ordinary questions about consumption, work, finance, mobility, identity, professional continuity, or institutional trust intersect with displacement, insecurity, loss, or ongoing threat.

The Combined Effects of Variable Viscosity and Thermal Conductivity of An Unsteady Casson Fluid Flow Along a Vertical Porous Channel With Convective Cooling Walls, Using the Bivariate Spectral Local Linearization Method

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the combined impact of different thermal conductivity and viscosity on unsteady non‐Newtonian Casson fluid flow of incompressible, electrical conductivity in a porous vertical channel with convective cooling walls, uniform magnetic field, and constant pressure gradient.

Design and Multibody Dynamics Modeling of a Novel High‐Static‐Low‐Dynamic‐Stiffness Vibration Isolation Mechanism Based on Euler Buckling Characteristics

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vibration isolation has long been a critical area of research, with the design of isolators based on the mechanical properties of Euler buckling beams representing one of the primary approaches. Traditionally, the focus has been on utilizing the negative stiffness characteristics of a post‐buckled Euler beam in parallel with positive stiffness

In Situ Atmospheric Plasma Treatment Enables First‐Layer Adhesion of PEEK on Borosilicate Glass for FDM‐Printed Non‐Assembly Mechanisms

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
A printhead‐mounted plasma nozzle activates the PEEK melt and the borosilicate print‐bed at the instant of contact. Only this simultaneous in‐situ activation of both interfaces yields reliable first‐layer adhesion (0.22 MPa). ABSTRACT Fused deposition modeling of poly‐ether‐ether‐ketone (PEEK) requires a high‐temperature build plate, yet PEEK does not ...

Experimental Study on Fine Sediment Infiltration (FSI) Processes in Different Gravel Mixtures

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fine sediment infiltration (FSI) can lead to riverbed clogging, thereby degrading important habitats for aquatic biota in the hyporheic interstitial zone of gravel‐bed rivers (e.g., by reducing oxygen availability). This stress on rivers may increase from anthropogenic influences and can be counteracted by artificial gravel augmentation to ...
