Capillary‐Driven Backflow During Salt Precipitation in a Rough Fracture

Abstract Salt precipitation is a crucial process occurring during CO2 injection into saline aquifers. It significantly alters the porous space, leading to reduced permeability and impaired injectivity. While the dynamics of precipitation ha...

Numerical simulation of gravity-driven motion of fine-grained sediment deposits in large reservoirs: case study of the Three Gorges Reservoir

Sediment deposition is one of the key issues during the processes of reservoir construction and operation. On the basis of the observed sedimentation patterns in the dam area of Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR), a schematic diagram of fine-grai...

Assessment of sediment yield and accumulation in reservoir: The case of Gibe One Reservoir, Southwestern Ethiopia

Soil erosion and sediment buildup are the factors that speed up the decline in capacity and function of reservoirs, agricultural products, and water resources. In order to simulate sediment and runoff and map high sediment-yielding sub-basi...

Experimental Study on the Effect of the Angle of Attack on the Flow-Induced Vibration of a Harbor Seal’s Whisker

A harbor seal’s whisker is able to sense the trailing vortices of marine organisms due to its unique three-dimensional wavy shape, which suppresses the vibrations caused by its own vortex-shedding, while exciting large-amplitude and synchro...

A three-pillar approach to assessing climate impacts on low flows

The objective of this paper is to present a framework for assessing climate impacts on future low flows that combines different sources of information, termed pillars. To illustrate the framework three pillars are chosen: (a) extrapolation ...

Influence of Critical Wall Roughness on the Performance of Double-Channel Sewage Pump

The numerical method on a double-channel sewage pump was studied, while the corresponding experimental result was also provided. On this basis, the influence of wall roughness on the pump performance was deeply studied. The results showed t...

Reservoir ecological operation considering outflow variations across different time scales

The regulation of reservoirs contributes huge socioeconomic benefits to society at the expense of inducing adverse effects on downstream ecosystems. The reservoir average outflow (such as monthly) can be out of the ecological flow range whi...

Reusing Effluent Water in Drainage Ditches for Irrigation in Hilly Regions

【Objective】 Most hilly regions in China are short of freshwater resources and recycling the effluent water in their drainage ditches is a way to relieve this pressure and improve water use efficiency. This paper investigates how reusing the...

Thoracic electrical impedance tomography identifies heterogeneity in lungs associated with respiratory disease in cattle. A pilot study

Respiratory disease in cattle is a significant global concern, yet current diagnostic methods are limited, and there is a lack of crush-side tests for detecting active disease. To address this gap, we propose utilizing electrical impedance ...

Amphibious Worlds:Environments, Infrastructures, Ontologies

Presently, we are witness to a global intensification of water-related disasters related to flooding, sinking erosion, and drought, reflecting changes in global water circulation, rising sea levels and changing weather patterns. Indeed, wat...

The formation of nitro-aromatic compounds under high NO_<i>x</i> and anthropogenic VOC conditions in urban Beijing, China

Nitro-aromatic compounds (NACs), as important contributors to the light absorption by brown carbon, have been widely observed in various ambient atmospheres; however, their formation in the urban atmosphere was little studied. In this work,...

Unraveling the mediating role of plant color and familiarity on children’s mood in urban landscape

An important element of urban landscapes is various plants, and contact with urban landscapes can promote children’s positive mood and mental health. However, few studies focus on Asian school-aged children’s mood for different urban landsc...

The accumulation cost of relaxed fixed time accumulation mode

Abstract Studying the wagon accumulation process and the laws of accumulation cost is of great significance for determining the suitable conditions of wagon accumulation and shortening the accumulation time. Here, the process of relaxed fix...

A study on the Joule-Thomson effect of during filling hydrogen in high pressure tank

With the development of the hydrogen fuel cell automobile industry, higher requirements are put forward for the construction of hydrogen energy infrastructure, the matching of parameters and the control strategy of hydrogen filling rate in ...

Tourism Development and Rural Land Transfer-Out: Evidence from China Family Panel Studies

For a long time, the decline in agricultural comparative returns and the urban–rural development gap in China have prompted the outflow of rural labor. Land transfer policies, which allow farmers to retain their land contracting rights whil...

Structure of Spatial Correlation Network and Influencing Factors of Urban-Rural Integration in China

Urban-rural integration is a necessary way to realize the strategy of rural revitalization in the new era, and exploring the characteristics of the spatial correlation network of China's urban-rural integration and its formation mechanism i...

A Study on the Impact of Brand Ritual on Online Word-of-Mouth Communication

The study aims to explore the impact mechanism of brand ritual on online word-of-mouth communication, introducing the mediating variable—flow experience—and the moderating variable—consumer–brand relationship norms. The study uses the appro...

An Examination of the Multiphase Darcy Model of Fluid Displacement in Porous Media Examen du modèle polyphasique de Darcy de déplacement de fluides en milieu poreux

The multiphase Darcy model used to represent two-phase immiscible displacement flow within porous media is critically examined, and the principle assumptions and limitations discussed. We identify some of the main problems which require bet...
