Abstract: A hybrid method which couples a vortexlattice method (VLM) solver and a ReynoldsAveraged Navier–Stokes (RANS) solver is applied to simulate the interaction between a dynamic positioning (DP) thruster and a floating ...

Abstract: This paper presents a multileaf foil bearing (MLFB), which consists of four resilient top foils and four stiff bump foils underneath; thus, a high supporting capacity and a high damping capacity can be achieved. A specially ...

Abstract: This work focuses on the study of the flow around a rigid cylinder with both particle image velocimetry (PIV) experiment and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation. PIV measurements of the flow field downstream of ...

Abstract: Abstract Traditional earth pressure theories assumed that soil was either fully saturated or completely dry, neglecting the effects of wall displacement and unsaturated soil properties on passive earth pressure. This ...

Abstract: ncertainties in high flows originating from greenhouse gas emissions scenarios, hydrological model structures, and their parameters for the Jinhua River basin, China, were assessed. The baseline (1961?90) and future (2011?40) ...

Abstract: This study mainly focuses on site effects of the Ni pad interface on intermetallic compounds (IMCs) characteristic during assembly reflowing, and attempts to provide a reasonable explanation for this particular finding. ...

Abstract: Moderate and intense low-oxygen dilution (MILD) combustion, characterized by low reaction rate, uniform heat flux, and significantly reduced pollutants, is a promising technology which is widely used in various industries. ...

Abstract: This paper describes the use of a lifting line model in order to determine the optimum loading on a marine turbine's blades. The influence of the wake and its geometry is represented though the use of a full wake alignment ...

Abstract: Notched structures widely exist in steam turbine components in fossil power plant, e.g., the groove of the rotor, etc. Previous studies indicate that creep failures occur at the groove of the rotor or the adjacent regions. ...

Abstract: AbstractThis study establishes a novel thermo-hygro-mechanical coupling model to analyze load effects on temperature and humidity transmission in early-age concrete, marking the first integration of solid-phase displacement ...
