Thermal effects on particle deposition in microchannels by Yan, Zhibin

“…The interaction potential curves from the numerical model suggest that the particles could experience larger resistance arising from the increased thermophoretic force in the presence of the temperature gradient, at large particle-wall distance fewer particles are transported from the bulk solution to the near-wall region. …”

Efficacy of riprap design for protection of quay structures against propeller-induced scouring by Tan, Qin Xiang

“…In total, five different median rock sizes and five different wall clearances were tested in this study. The experimental results show that the Dutch method is overconservative for all 24 test conditions, while the German method produces under-designed riprap for test conditions with large wall clearance. …”

Computation fluid dynamics on drag reduction II by Zang, Bin

“…Both the flow pattern in the form of velocity contours and the quantitative drag coefficient are extracted and compared in several ways: single dimple along the wall with depth (h/D = 0.21); multiple (three) dimples along the wall with different separation distances between adjacent dimples; single dimple but with several other h/D ratios (i.e. 0.25, 0.14, 0.10, 0.08). …”

The effect of JGP slab on the stability of deep excavation by Lim, Samuel Bi Yao

“…An increase in thickness and shear strength parameter of the JGP will yield a more stable excavation, but at the expense of more internal forces in the wall. Prestressed struts and reduction in wall depth causes minor changes to the results. …”

Analytical and numerical study of the flow of working fluid in heat pipes by Li, Hui Min

“…A two-dimensional heat conduction model is developed to predict die temperature distribution across the condensate film and along the pipe wall. Moreover, the wall temperature distribution is evaluated numerically by introducing an analogous electrical circuit model and employing an electrical circuit simulation software 'SPICE'. …”

Effects of deep excavation on pile behaviour by Vindy

“…This report will focus on the effect of deep excavation on adjacent pile behaviour.Parametric studies using plane strain and three-dimensional finite element analyses programs, PLAXIS 2D and PLAXIS 3D Foundation are carried out to investigate the various aspects that influence the pile responses such as the effect of wall stiffness (flexible, medium and stiff walls), pile diameter (0.6 m and 1 m diameter), distance from pile to the primary wall (1 m and 5 m), and undrained shear strength of the soil which is assumed to increase linearly with depth of excavation. …”

The quality/cosmology tension for a post-inflation QCD axion by Lu, Qianshu, Reece, Matthew, Sun, Zhiquan

“…In a post-inflation axion model, the axion field value is randomized during the Peccei-Quinn phase transition, and axion domain walls form at the QCD phase transition. We emphasize that the gauge equivalence of all minima of the axion potential (i.e., domain wall number equals one) is insufficient to solve the cosmological domain wall problem. …”

The role of graphite foam pore structure on saturated pool boiling enhancement by Pranoto, I., Leong, K. C., Jin, L. W.

“…It was found that both fin structures with AR = 3.70 and 2.73 result in reduced boiling heat transfer performances and higher wall temperatures. The experimental results show that the boiling heat transfer coefficients of the block structures are about 1.2–1.6 times higher than those of the fin structures. …”
