Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract We present idealized 3‐D discrete element simulations exploring how varying boundary roughness and grain‐size distribution affect bulk granular‐rheology and basal‐force distributions. Boundary roughness has a direct control on the internal static friction coefficient.

Facies analysis provides new insights into event bed deposition in a hadal trench environment
Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 2, Page 441-477, February 2026.ABSTRACT Hadal trenches preserve exceptional sedimentary archives of past geological events, yet their depositional processes remain poorly constrained. The Japan Trench captures complex earthquake‐triggered event beds that record repeated sediment‐gravity flows that deliver terrigenous and biogenic material into the trench, informing palaeoseismic ...

Investigation of empennage buffeting [PDF]
Theoretical methods of predicting aircraft buffeting are reviewed. For the buffeting due to leading edge vortex breakdown, a method is developed to convert test data of mean square values of fluctuating normal force to buffeting vortex strength through ...

Migration and Dispersion Evolution of Exhaled Aerosol in a Ward Under Different Ventilation Modes
Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 21, Issue 1, January/February 2026.ABSTRACT Wards with special functions and closure will have a higher risk of viral transmission as aerosols are an important mode of transmission for the SARS‐CoV‐2 virus. In this study, an experimental platform was built to establish the relevant parameters of the aerosol model and the aerosol propagation model according to the experimental results ...

Experimental methods for wind tunnel studies of seed dispersal by wind
Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 14, Issue 1, January-February 2026.Abstract The complexity and variability of natural environments make quantitative studies of seed wind dispersal challenging. Wind tunnel experiments offer a controlled alternative to investigate the mechanisms of seed wind dispersal. This review focuses on wind tunnels and the associated technologies used for studying seed wind dispersal, including ...
