Physics Informed Neural Networks for Modeling Large-Scale Wind Driven Ocean Circulation by Boohyun An, Mohammad Z. Shanti, Chan Yeob Yeun, Ernesto Damiani, Sungmun Lee, Tae-Yeon Kim

“…The architecture of the neural network was systematically optimized through hyperparameter tuning, including the selection of optimizers, activation functions, network configurations, and learning rate schedulers to ensure stable convergence and minimize fluctuations in training loss. The effects of different training point distributions, such as uniform, uniform-refined, random, and random-refined, were also examined. …”

Research on Pump Primers for Friction Reduction of Wet-Mix Shotcrete Based on Precreating Lubricating Layer by Guoming Liu, Lianjun Chen, Weimin Cheng, Yanan Huang

“…The inner surface of pipes will absorb water from fresh concrete to wet itself if concrete pump primers is not pumped early; meanwhile, the saturated concrete is transformed into the unsaturated concrete, and pipe blockage often occurs. In order to minimize the loss of water and wet pipes, a new type of pump primers was developed to precreate the lubricating layer that is one of the most dominant factors in determining the pumping capability, which would provide a cost-effective replacement for premium priced cement-based primers. …”
