Multiscale modeling of reservoir systems using geostatistical methods by Chihi, Hayet, Hammami, Mohamed Amin, Mezni, Imen, Belayouni, Habib, Ben Mammou, Abdallah

“…This provides a detailed input for the geostatistical modeling procedures that enabled to precisely capture the varying extent and shape of the hydrogeological units at regional scale.Geophysical data, available along the Jeffara plain, were added as a complement to the Jeffara geodatabase and used to establish the fault network and to build a local architectural model of the coastal aquifer system, based on time-to-depth conversion using kriging with external drift.The results have allowed (i) a major update of the geological configuration of the Jeffara basin, (ii) more precision on the geometries and extent of the stratigraphic sequences and (iii) an accurate prediction of the main characteristics of water reservoirs, i.e. their occurrence, thickness, facies and dynamic properties variation at the basin and reservoir scale. …”

Responses of Typical Riparian Vegetation to Annual Variation of River Flow in a Semi-Arid Climate Region: Case Study of China’s Xiliao River by Xiangzhao Yan, Wei Yang, Zaohong Pu, Qilong Zhang, Yutong Chen, Jiaqi Chen, Weiqi Xiang, Hongyu Chen, Yuyang Cheng, Yanwei Zhao

“…However, with the decrease in river runoff caused by human activities and the continuous changes in climate, riparian vegetation has gradually degraded. To identify the main influencing factors of riparian vegetation changes, we extracted the river flow indicators, climate indicators, and riparian vegetation indicators of a Xiliao River typical section from 1985 to 2020 in spring and summer, and established a random forest model to screen the key driving factors of riparian vegetation. …”

Experimental case study for optimizing heat sink performance using ZnO nanocarriers integrated with phase change materials for environmental sustainability by Muhammad Farooq, Imran Zahid, M. Yasar Javaid, Noreen Sher Akbar, Enio Pedone Bandarra Filho, M. Farrukh Shahzad, M. Imran Khan, Mohammad Ilyas Khan, Mohammad Rehan, Fahid Riaz

“…PCMs can be made more thermally conductive with the use of nanocarriers-based phase change materials (NcPCMs), which could lower system temperatures and increase device operational lifetimes. In this study, the main objective is to improve overall performance of heat sinks by integrating ZnO nanocarriers into RT54HC (PCM) to enhance thermal conductivity using ZnO/RT54HC (NcPCM) across various transient heat energy loads (09 W–27 W) and different optimal saturation levels of ZnO, varying between 1.0 wt% to 3.0 wt%. …”
