Fabricate Wavy Micro/Nano Fiber via Auxiliary Electrodes by Zhu, Ziming, Chen, Xindu, Zheng, Junwei, Liang, Feng, Li, Minghao, Wang, Han

“…Auxiliary electrodes were developed to control the morphology of the wavy fibers in this paper, when a 4 wt% Poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO) solution was electrospun at 1KV applied voltage in near-field electrospinning, and the collector at relatively low speed, AC current power supplied to auxiliary electrodes, and the amplitude of wavy was increased as increasing the AC current power voltage supplied to the auxiliary electrodes, and the frequencies of the wavy fibers was the same as the frequencies of the AC current power. …”

Wave-induced longitudinal vortices in a shallow current by Huang, Zhenhua, Mei, Chiang C.

“…With a simple model of eddy viscosity the dimensionless shearing rate of the basic current is much weaker than the dimensionless velocity almost everywhere except near the bed. We shall show that in addition to the internal vortex force, a mean shear stress exists on the mean sea level, owing to nonlinear wave–current interactions, despite the absence of wind. …”

Optimal network charge for peer-to-peer energy trading: a grid perspective by Yang, Yu, Chen, Yue, Hu, Guoqiang, Spanos, Costas J.

“…Simulations on the IEEE bus systems show that the proposed optimal network charge is favorable as it can benefit both the grid operator and the prosumers for empowering the P2P market, and achieves near-optimal social welfare. Moreover, the results show that the presence of energy storage will make the prosumers more sensitive to the network charge price changes.…”
