Abstract: While forward osmosis (FO) has great potential to be the next generation water treatment technology, it is constrained by the development of ideal draw agents and membranes. Herein, a series of copolymerized hydrogels based ...

Abstract: The flowfield around a 6:1 prolate spheroid at angle of attack is predicted using solutions of the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and detached-eddy simulation (DES). The calculations ...

Abstract: The large head loss of the disc filter has always been one of its main limiting factors, which may affect its working efficiency and service life. Disc flow channel structure is an important factor affecting the performance ...
