文摘Accurately characterizing the pore structure of Tamusu mudstone and simulating fluid flow within it are crucial for assessing underground disposal of high-level radioactive waste(HLW)in this formation.Modeling mudstone presents challenges due to its multiscale pore structure and the necessity that accounts for the effects of high clay content.A method for constructing a dual-scale pore network model(PNM)for the Tamusu mudstone,which considers the hydrological expansion of clays,was proposed.This model integrates N2 adsorption data with focused ion beam/scanning electron microscopy(FIB/SEM)images and labels pores based on clay content.Simulations of single-phase flow were conducted to validate the proposed model.Additionally,the influences of cell number,connectivity,slip effects,and clay minerals on permeability were examined.The findings indicate that a configuration of 45×45×45 cells adequately represents the model.The permeability of the Tamusu mudstone,about 1020 m^(2),aligns with the experimental values.During the simulation,Knudsen diffusion is considered.Factors such as increased roughness,tortuosity,clay content,and water film thickness decrease the permeability,whereas increased connectivity enhances permeability.In the model,numerical coordination numbers 2 and 3 are deemed suitable for the Tamusu mudstone.The proposed model is effective as a tool for constructing and simulating fluid flow in the Tamusu mudstone.

文摘Up to now,how the secretion modes of intestinal fluid(i.e.,pancreaticobiliary secretion and wall secretion)can regulate intestinal acid-base environment has not been fully understood.Understanding the regulation mechanism is not only of great significance for intestinal health but may also lead to optimized designs for bio-inspired soft elastic reactors(SERs).In this work,the mixing and reaction of acidic gastric juice and alkaline intestinal fluid in a 3D duodenum with moving walls were modelled.A unique feature of this model is the implementation of both pancreaticobiliary and wall secretion of intestinal fluid as boundary conditions.This model allowed us to quantitatively explore the influence of secretion modes on pH regulation.The results demonstrated that coexistence of both pancreaticobiliary and wall secretions is the key to maintain the average pH in the duodenum at about 7.4.Their coexistence synergistically promotes the mixing and reaction of acid-base digestion liquids and provides a suitable catalytic environment for lipase in the intestine.

文摘In this study,we proposed a numerical technique for solving time-dependent partial differential equations that arise in the electro-osmotic flowofCarreau fluid across a stationary plate based on amodified exponential integrator.The scheme is comprised of two explicit stages.One is the exponential integrator type stage,and the second is the Runge-Kutta type stage.The spatial-dependent terms are discretized using the compact technique.The compact scheme can achieve fourth or sixth-order spatial accuracy,while the proposed scheme attains second-order temporal accuracy.Also,a mathematical model for the electro-osmotic flow of Carreau fluid over the stationary sheet is presented with heat and mass transfer effects.The governing equations are transformed into dimensionless partial differential equations and solved by the proposed scheme.Simulation results reveal that increasing the Helmholtz-Smoluchowski velocityUHS by 400%leads to a 60%-75%rise in peak flowvelocity,while the electro-osmotic parameter me enhances near-wall acceleration.Conversely,velocity decreases significantly with higher Weissenberg numbers,indicating the Carreau fluid’s elastic resistance and increased magnetic field strength due to improved Lorentz forces.Temperature rises with the thermal conductivity parameter 2,while higher reaction ratesγdiminish concentration and local Sherwood number values.The simulation findings show the scheme’s correctness and efficacy in capturing the complicated interactions in non-Newtonian electro-osmotic transport by revealing the notable impact of electrokinetic factors on flowbehaviour.Theproposedmodel is particularly relevant for BiologicalMicro-Electro-Mechanical Systems(BioMEMS)applications,where precise control of electro-thermal transport in non-Newtonian fluids is critical for lab-on-a-chip diagnostics,drug delivery,and micro-scale thermal management.
文摘This study rigorously examines the interplay between viscous dissipation,magnetic effects,and thermal radiation on the flow behavior of a non-Newtonian Carreau squeezed fluid passing by a sensor surface within a micro cantilever channel,aiming to deepen our understanding of heat transport processes in complex fluid dynamics scenarios.The primary objective is to elucidate how physical operational parameters influence both the velocity of fluid flow and its temperature distribution,utilizing a comprehensive numerical approach.Employing a combination of mathematical modeling techniques,including similarity transformation,this investigation transforms complex partial differential equations into more manageable ordinary ones,subsequently solving them using the homotopy perturbation method.By analyzing the obtained solutions and presenting them graphically,alongside detailed analysis,the study sheds light on the pivotal role of significant parameters in shaping fluid movement and energy distribution.Noteworthy observations reveal a substantial increase in fluid velocity with escalating magnetic parameters,while conversely,a contrasting trend emerges in the temperature distribution,highlighting the intricate relationship between magnetic effects,flow dynamics,and thermal behavior in non-Newtonian fluids.Further,the suction velocity enhance both the local skin friction and Nusselt numbers,whereas theWeissenberg number reduces them,opposite to the effect of the power-law index.

文摘The finite-difference method(FDM)is an essential tool in exploration geophysics,particularly for simulating wave propagation in fluid-solid coupled media.Despite its widespread use,FDM faces significant challenges that affect its accuracy and efficiency.Firstly,the implicit handling of fluid-solid boundary conditions through parameter averaging strategy often results in low simulation accuracy.Secondly,surface topography can introduce staircase diffraction noise when grid spacing is large.To address these issues,this paper presents a novel approach.We derive an implicit expression for fluidsolid boundary conditions based on average medium theory,translating explicit boundary conditions into model parameter modification.This enables implicit handling of fluid-solid boundaries by modifying the parameters near the boundary.Furthermore,to mitigate staircase diffraction noise,we employ multiple interface discretization based on the superposition method.This effectively suppresses staircase diffraction noise without requiring grid refinement.The efficacy of our method in accurately modeling wave propagation phenomena in fluid-solid coupled media is demonstrated by numerical examples.Results align well with those obtained using the spectral element method(SEM),with significant reduction in staircase diffraction noise.

文摘Wire arc additive manufacturing(WAAM)has emerged as a promising approach for fabricating large-scale components.However,conventional WAAM still faces challenges in optimizing microstructural evolution,minimizing additive-induced defects,and alleviating residual stress and deformation,all of which are critical for enhancing the mechanical performance of the manufactured parts.Integrating interlayer friction stir processing(FSP)into WAAM significantly enhances the quality of deposited materials.However,numerical simulation research focusing on elucidating the associated thermomechanical coupling mechanisms remains insufficient.A comprehensive numerical model was developed to simulate the thermomechanical coupling behavior in friction stir-assisted WAAM.The influence of post-deposition FSP on the coupled thermomechanical response of the WAAM process was analyzed quantitatively.Moreover,the residual stress distribution and deformation behavior under both single-layer and multilayer deposition conditions were investigated.Thermal analysis of different deposition layers in WAAM and friction stir-assisted WAAM was conducted.Results show that subsequent layer deposition induces partial remelting of the previously solidified layer,whereas FSP does not cause such remelting.Furthermore,thermal stress and deformation analysis confirm that interlayer FSP effectively mitigates residual stresses and distortion in WAAM components,thereby improving their structural integrity and mechanical properties.

文摘Centrifugal casting of ductile iron pipe is a high-temperature,semi-continuous production process.However,conducting laboratory research on the solidification process of centrifugal casting of ductile iron pipe presents significant challenges.In this study,a novel research method was introduced for investigating the solidification process of ductile iron pipe,namely thermal simulation of ductile iron pipe.Comparative research was conducted on the microstructure and properties of the thermal simulation sample and the ductile iron pipe.The findings indicate that the thermal simulation sample and ductile iron pipe exhibit good heat transfer similarity and microstructure similarity.The difference of cooling rate between thermal simulation sample and ductile pipe is less than 0.24℃·s^(-1),and the difference of microstructure content of free cementite,ferrite,and pearlite is less than 5%.The tensile strength of annealed ductile iron pipe is 466 MPa,with an elongation of 16.1%and a Brinell hardness of 156.5 HBW.In comparison,the tensile strength of annealed thermal simulation sample is 482.0 MPa,with an elongation of 15.5%and a Brinell hardness of 159.0 HBW.These results suggest that the thermal simulation experimental research method is both scientific and feasible,offering an objective,reliable,and cost-effective approach to laboratory research on ductile iron pipe.
文摘BACKGROUND Orthopaedic surgical education has traditionally depended on the apprenticeship model of“see one,do one,teach one”.However,reduced operative exposure,stricter work-hour regulations,medicolegal constraints,and patient safety concerns have constrained its practicality.Simulation-based training has become a reliable,safe,and cost-efficient alternative.Dry lab techniques,especially virtual and augmented reality,make up 78%of current dry lab research,whereas wet labs still set the standard for anatomical realism.AIM To evaluate the effectiveness,limitations,and future directions of wet and dry lab simulation in orthopaedic training.METHODS A scoping review was carried out across four databases-PubMed,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,and EBSCOhost-up to 2025.Medical Subject Headings included:"Orthopaedic Education","Wet Lab","Dry Lab","Simulation Training","Virtual Reality",and"Surgical Procedure".Eligible studies focused on orthopaedic or spinal surgical education,employed wet or dry lab techniques,and assessed training effectiveness.Exclusion criteria consisted of non-English publications,abstracts only,non-orthopaedic research,and studies unrelated to simulation.Two reviewers independently screened titles,abstracts,and full texts,resolving discrepancies with a third reviewer.RESULTS From 1851 records,101 studies met inclusion:78 on dry labs,7 on wet labs,4 on both.Virtual reality(VR)simulations were most common,with AI increasingly used for feedback and assessment.Cadaveric training remains the gold standard for accuracy and tactile feedback,while dry labs-especially VR-offer scalability,lower cost(40%-60%savings in five studies),and accessibility for novices.Senior residents prefer wet labs for complex tasks;juniors favour dry labs for basics.Challenges include limited transferability data,lack of standard outcome metrics,and ethical concerns about cadaver use and AI assessment.CONCLUSION Wet and dry labs each have unique strengths in orthopaedic training.A hybrid approach combining both,supported by standardised assessments and outcome studies,is most effective.Future efforts should aim for uniform reporting,integrating new technologies,and policy support for hybrid curricula to enhance skills and patient care.

文摘This study introduces a new ocean surface friction velocity scheme and a modified Thompson cloud microphysics parameterization scheme into the CMA-TYM model.The impact of these two parameterization schemes on the prediction of the movement track and intensity of Typhoon Kompasu in 2021 is examined.Additionally,the possible reasons for their effects on tropical cyclone(TC)intensity prediction are analyzed.Statistical results show that both parameterization schemes improve the predictions of Typhoon Kompasu’s track and intensity.The influence on track prediction becomes evident after 60 h of model integration,while the significant positive impact on intensity prediction is observed after 66 h.Further analysis reveals that these two schemes affect the timing and magnitude of extreme TC intensity values by influencing the evolution of the TC’s warm-core structure.

文摘Automation and intelligence have become the primary trends in the design of investment casting processes.However,the design of gating and riser systems still lacks precise quantitative evaluation criteria.Numerical simulation plays a significant role in quantitatively evaluating current processes and making targeted improvements,but its limitations lie in the inability to dynamically reflect the formation outcomes of castings under varying process conditions,making real-time adjustments to gating and riser designs challenging.In this study,an automated design model for gating and riser systems based on integrated parametric 3D modeling-simulation framework is proposed,which enhances the flexibility and usability of evaluating the casting process by simulation.Firstly,geometric feature extraction technology is employed to obtain the geometric information of the target casting.Based on this information,an automated design framework for gating and riser systems is established,incorporating multiple structural parameters for real-time process control.Subsequently,the simulation results for various structural parameters are analyzed,and the influence of these parameters on casting formation is thoroughly investigated.Finally,the optimal design scheme is generated and validated through experimental verification.Simulation analysis and experimental results show that using a larger gate neck(24 mm in side length) and external risers promotes a more uniform temperature distribution and a more stable flow state,effectively eliminating shrinkage cavities and enhancing process yield by 15%.

文摘Marine thin plates are susceptible to welding deformation owing to their low structural stiffness.Therefore,the efficient and accurate prediction of welding deformation is essential for improving welding quality.The traditional thermal elastic-plastic finite element method(TEP-FEM)can accurately predict welding deformation.However,its efficiency is low because of the complex nonlinear transient computation,making it difficult to meet the needs of rapid engineering evaluation.To address this challenge,this study proposes an efficient prediction method for welding deformation in marine thin plate butt welds.This method is based on the coupled temperature gradient-thermal strain method(TG-TSM)that integrates inherent strain theory with a shell element finite element model.The proposed method first extracts the distribution pattern and characteristic value of welding-induced inherent strain through TEP-FEM analysis.This strain is then converted into the equivalent thermal load applied to the shell element model for rapid computation.The proposed method-particularly,the gradual temperature gradient-thermal strain method(GTG-TSM)-achieved improved computational efficiency and consistent precision.Furthermore,the proposed method required much less computation time than the traditional TEP-FEM.Thus,this study lays the foundation for future prediction of welding deformation in more complex marine thin plates.

文摘Compared to the well-studied two-dimensional(2D)ferroelectricity,the appearance of 2D antiferroelectricity is much rarer,where local dipoles from the nonequivalent sublattices within 2D monolayers are oppositely oriented.Using NbOCl_(2) monolayer with competing ferroelectric(FE)and antiferroelectric(AFE)phases as a 2D material platform,we demonstrate the emergence of intrinsic antiferroelectricity in NbOCl_(2) monolayer under experimentally accessible shear strain,along with new functionality associated with electric field-induced AFE-to-FE phase transition.Specifically,the complex configuration space accommodating FE and AFE phases,polarization switching kinetics,and finite temperature thermodynamic properties of 2D NbOCl_(2) are all accurately predicted by large-scale molecular dynamics simulations based on deep learning interatomic potential model.Moreover,room temperature stable antiferroelectricity with low polarization switching barrier and one-dimensional collinear polarization arrangement is predicted in shear-deformed NbOCl_(2) monolayer.The transition from AFE to FE phase in 2D NbOCl_(2) can be triggered by a low critical electric field,leading to a double polarization–electric(P–E)loop with small hysteresis.A new type of optoelectronic device composed of AFE-NbOCl_(2) is proposed,enabling electric“writing”and nonlinear optical“reading”logical operation with fast operation speed and low power consumption.
文摘Analysis of the environmental and economic performance of fishing vessels has received limited attention compared with other ship types despite their notable contribution to global greenhouse gas(GHG)emissions.This study evaluates the carbon footprint(CF)and economic viability of a liquefied natural gas(LNG)-fueled fishing vessel,using real engine operation simulations to provide precise and dynamic evaluation of fuel consumption and GHG emissions.Operational profiles are obtained through the utilization of onboard monitoring systems,whereas engine performance is simulated using the 1D/0D AVL Boost^(TM)model.Life cycle assessment(LCA)is conducted to quantify the environmental impact,whereas life cycle cost assessment(LCCA)is performed to analyze the profitability of LNG as an alternative fuel.The potential impact of the future fuel price uncertainties is addressed using Monte Carlo simulations.The LCA findings indicate that LNG has the potential to reduce the CF of the vessel by 14%to 16%,in comparison to a diesel power system configuration that serves as the baseline scenario.The LCCA results further indicate that the total cost of an LNG-powered ship is lower by 9.5%-13.8%,depending on the share of LNG and pilot fuels.This finding highlights the potential of LNG to produce considerable environmental benefits while addressing economic challenges under diverse operational and fuel price conditions.

文摘Wavefields in porous media saturated by two immiscible fluids are simulated in this paper.Based on the sealed system theory,the medium model considers both the relative motion between the fluids and the solid skeleton and the relaxation mechanisms of porosity and saturation(capillary pressure).So it accurately simulates the numerical attenuation property of the wavefields and is much closer to actual earth media in exploration than the equivalent liquid model and the unsaturated porous medium model on the basis of open system theory.The velocity and attenuation for different wave modes in this medium have been discussed in previous literature but studies of the complete wave-field have not been reported.In our work,wave equations with the relaxation mechanisms of capillary pressure and the porosity are derived.Furthermore,the wavefield and its characteristics are studied using the numerical finite element method.The results show that the slow P3-wave in the non-wetting phase can be observed clearly in the seismic band.The relaxation of capillary pressure and the porosity greatly affect the displacement of the non-wetting phase.More specifically,the displacement decreases with increasing relaxation coefficient.
