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). …”

Turbulent Flow over a Flexible Wall Undergoing a Streamwise Traveling Wavy Motion by Shen, Lian, Zhang, Xiang, Yue, Dick K.P., Triantafyllou, Michael S.

“…For negative c/U, we find that flow separation is enhanced and a large drag force is produced. For positive c/U, the results show that as c/U increases from zero, the separation bubble moves further upstream and away from the wall, and is reduced in strength. …”

Effect of polyvinylpyrrolidone additive in the substrate of thin-film composite forward osmosis polyvinylidene fluoride membrane on neodymium rejection by Yeoh, Yuan Xin, Mazrul Nizam, Abu Seman, Mohd Yusri, Mohd Yunus, Abdul Wahab, Mohammad, Nurul Ain, Ismail

“…Green technology innovations, especially green energy require a strong permanent magnet that utilizes rare earth elements (REE) such as neodymium (Nd) as raw materials. Direct mining of REE from primary sources and downstream recycling process from secondary resources are infeasible due to the pollution caused by strong acid used in the cracking and leaching process. …”

Crosslinkable vegetable oil based natural materials for packaging applications by Ker, Adonica Yan Ting

“…In this project, the synthesis of castor oil and citric acid polyester was carried out to produce a biodegradable polymer film for packaging applications. Castor oil and citric acid been selected as raw materials due to its high versatility and potential in undergoing esterification reaction, leading to the formation of hydrolysable ester bonds, followed by the addition of resorcinol, 1,10 decandiol and 1,12 dodecandiol as a linker to adjust the polymer film mechanical and degradation properties.…”

An experimental and simulation study of chip transportation behaviour in gundrilling by Tnay, Guan Leong

“…From the experiments, terminal velocities of typical gun drill chips at different range of particle Reynolds number were determined to construct the unique drag curve. Based on the findings, a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) numerical model was developed to predict the lateral drag forces with respect to the particle Reynolds number. …”

Detection of computer graphics using attention-based dual-branch convolutional neural network from fused color components by He, Peisong, Li, Haoliang, Wang, Hongxia, Zhang, Ruimei

“…With the development of 3D rendering techniques, people can create photorealistic computer graphics (CG) easily with the advanced software, which is of great benefit to the video game and film industries. On the other hand, the abuse of CGs has threatened the integrity and authenticity of digital images. …”
