Numerical Investigation of Heat Transfer and Flow Dynamics in Tubes with DNA-Inspired Slotted Inserts by Penglong Zhu, Guoxiu Sun, Ruimeng Liu, Sicong Zhou, Baisong Hu, Shaofeng Zhang

“…The study provides a thorough analysis of fully turbulent flow (Re = 6600–17,200), examining the effects of various DSI pitches, key lengths, and geometries. The findings reveal that the DSI instigates a three-dimensional spiral flow pattern, which is accompanied by an escalation in the Nusselt number (Nu) and friction factor (f) with increasing Reynolds numbers. …”

Fractal-Shaped Metamaterials and Applications to Enhanced-Performance Devices Exhibiting High Selectivity by He-Xiu Xu, Guang-Ming Wang, Chen-Xin Zhang

“…It is found that fractal perturbation in CRR results in lower and more transmission zeros in comparison with conventional CRR using nonfractal geometries. The single negative-permeability or -permittivity of these MTM TLs which associated with the resultant multitransmission zeros occurs by turns and should benefit devices with high selectivity requirement. …”

High-Gain Textile Antenna Array System for Off-Body Communication by Maria Lucia Scarpello, Luigi Vallozzi, Hendrik Rogier, Dries Vande Ginste

“…To allow simple low-cost beam steering, we specifically minimize mutual coupling by using a relative large distance between the patches and by selecting the ETMPA element as the most suited topology from three potential patch geometries. Moreover, we investigate the stability of return loss and mutual coupling characteristics under different relative humidity conditions, when bending the array, when placing the system on-body, and when covering it by different textile layers. …”
