Abstract: AbstractFlood is one of the most costly natural disasters in the United States, causing significant economic losses annually. These high-loss flood events are becoming increasingly frequent, threatening the safety of ...

Abstract: Heat transfer enhancement is an important thermal–hydraulic phenomenon in heat exchangers. Previous investigations mostly focused on unidirectional heat transfer enhancement inside the tube. In order to realize the ...

Abstract: A numerical investigation was performed to study the thermo-hydraulic performance in an enhanced tube with crossed helical dimples. The simulations were carried out in the Reynolds number range of 5000–30,000 in crossed ...

Abstract: The different elastic properties of tension and compression are obvious in many engineering materials, especially new materials. Materials with this characteristic, such as graphite, ceramics, and composite materials, are ...

Abstract: AbstractTransportation professionals increasingly rely on large data sets to understand travel behavior and improve system performance. However, many agencies face challenges accessing and using these data due to limited ...

Abstract: n most parts of the world, pan evaporation decreases with increased air temperature rather than increases, which is known as the ?evaporation paradox.? The semiarid Loess Plateau, which is sensitive to global climate change ...

Abstract: With the characteristics of the sandglassshaped temperature field generated during welding of highfrequency induction longitudinally welded pipe taken into consideration, this paper focuses on the rules of influence of a ...

Abstract: AbstractLand surface models (LSMs) have been widely used to provide objective monitoring of soil moisture during drought, but large uncertainties exist because of the different parameterizations in LSMs. This study aims ...

Abstract: With the significant increase in vehicle ownership in our country, urban traffic conditions have become increasingly congested. Low-speed driving has become more prevalent, leading to more frequent instances of starting ...

Abstract: AbstractFracturing fluids play a crucial role in hydraulic fracturing by significantly improving coal seam permeability and promoting coal seam gas desorption. To investigate the impact of clean fracturing fluids with ...
