Unravelling the complex meanings and origins of zisha teapots in the Ming and Qing dynasties by Gao, X

“…The unglazed teapots, made from <em>zisha</em> clay using a slabbuilding technique, have been appreciated by tea consumers since the Late Ming dynasty onwards. The study employs a multidisciplinary approach, including ethnographic research, archaeological science, historical analysis, the concept of <em>chaîne opératoire</em>, and experimental archaeology, to examine various data sources and gain a comprehensive understanding of the origins and development of <em>zisha</em> teapots.…”

An investigation of finite wings with leading edge protuberances by Gan, Christopher De Hao

“…In the present study, Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) was carried out in a water tunnel at a Reynolds number of 2.0 x 10^4 to investigate the cross stream flow around finite wings with leading-edge protuberances. Results obtained confirm that the protuberances lead to the generation of counter-rotating vortex pairs (CVPs), similar to the function of vortex generators. …”
