Modelling infiltration processes in rain gardens: Influence of design parameters on hydrological efficiency by M. Kravchenko, T. Tkachenko, V. Mileikovskyi

“…It was demonstrated that a rain garden with a depth of 1.2 m, a catchment-to-garden area ratio of 15, and a filtration coefficient of 100-200 cm/h functions effectively under critical rainfall intensities. The developed model and the resulting data, providing precise calculations and design recommendations, can be utilised by engineers and planners to optimise rain garden designs, thereby enhancing stormwater management efficiency…”

Simulation of Surface Segregation in Nanoparticles of Pt-Pd Alloys by Jose Brito Correia, Ana Isabel de Sá

“…Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been conducted to understand the structural and surface energy effects of PdPt nanoparticles, revealing phase separation and chemical ordering, which are critical for optimizing these catalysts. Pd migration to the surface layer in Pt-Pd alloys minimizes the overall potential energy through the formation of Pd surface monolayers and Pt-Pd bonds, leading to a lower surface energy for intermediate compositions compared to that of the pure elements. …”
