Nature-based solutions (Nbs) for flood mitigation: Recent UK case studies by Rameshwaran Ponnambalam, Blake James, Trill Emily, Robotham John, Bishop James, Old Gareth, O’Brien Alex, Scarlett Pete

“…The Littlestock Brook NFM study showed that the Nbs interventions successfully attenuated all storm event discharge peaks during the monitoring period (up to 55% reductions) and that over 40% of the total storage volume remained available throughout all events. The LANDWISE project demonstrated that whilst increased organic matter improves soil structure and porosity, innovative arable management practices (e.g., controlled traffic and min till) can also improve soil structure and porosity, increasing soil hydraulic conductivity and therefore NFM potential.…”

Ligament and Droplet Generation by Oil Film on a Rotating Disk by Hengchao Sun, Guoding Chen, Li’na Wang, Fei Wang

“…The oil film thickness and velocity, ligaments number, and droplet SMD are calculated as functions of the rotating disk radius, rotational speed and oil volume flow rate and oil properties. The theoretical results show that the oil film thickness and SMD are decreased with an increasing rotational speed, while the radial, transverse velocities, and ligament number are increased. …”
