Multiscale Coupling of Phase Transition and Urban Flow in Two‐Phase Chlorine Dispersion in Street Canyons

open access: yesSafety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
A multiscale CFD framework reveals that two‐phase effects fundamentally alter hazardous gas dispersion in urban street canyons. Droplet evaporation, vortex‐driven transport, and ventilation jointly control hazard evolution, with wind speed dominating dispersion while temperature plays a secondary role.

A unified phase-matching mechanism for bio-inspired propulsion and vortex-induced energy harvesting in Kármán streets

open access: yesEngineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics
Fish swimming in unsteady environments can exploit the Kármán vortex streets generated by upstream obstacles to reduce energetic cost or enhance propulsion, offering inspiration for bio-inspired marine energy harvesting. Using a two-dimensional numerical

Reconciling Goffman and Disability Studies: “Interactional” and “Structural” Stigma in the Lives of Parents of Learning‐Disabled Adults

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
Erving Goffman cuts a divisive figure in disability studies. Some criticize his conception of “stigma” as deviance‐focused and as ignoring structural forces that shape personal encounters. Others praise his recognition of stigma as an interactional phenomenon.

Analysis of flow and energy dissipation in pump turbine with small guide vane opening

open access: yesEngineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics
In this study, a detailed flow state analysis of a reversible pump turbine (RPT) under small guide vane opening conditions was conducted using both numerical simulation and experimental methods on three analysis planes at 0.5 span. The entropy production

Comparing the Effects of Microplastics From Conventional Cigarette Butts and Heated Tobacco Device: The Role of UV‐Induced Aging

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the widespread presence of cigarette butts in the environment, the potential toxicological effects posed by microplastics (MPs) derived from them remain poorly understood. In this study, we compared the effects of MPs from conventional cigarette butts (cellulose acetate) and heated tobacco devices (cellulose acetate and polylactic acid

Turbulent shear flow downstream of a sphere with and without an o-ring located over a plane boundary

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2012
Flow-structure interaction of separated shear flow from the sphere and a flat plate was investigated by using dye visualization and the particle image velocimetry technique. Later, a passive control method was applied with 2mm oring located on the sphere
