The influence of pulse current on drop transfer during double-electrode gas surfacing by Sergey K. Elsukov, Ilya V. Zorin, Dmitry S. Nesin

“…Together with a decrease in the arc temperature and pressure on the plate surface during the “heat input control” phase of the current pulse (180 A, t=1.4 s), this should help to reduce the heat input and the depth of penetration of the base metal, and, consequently, reduce the degree of dilution of the deposited alloy by the substrate metal. …”

The response characteristics and stability evaluation of vegetated slope under strong wind by Yanlin Liu, Fei Wang, Feng Ji, Lianhua Zhang, Jianjun Zhao, Chen Zheng, Jibin Chen

“…At wind forces ≥ 13 (typhoon: 37.0–41.4 m/s), vegetation exerts a negative influence under the combined action of strong wind loads. (2) Based on the experimentally determined evolution of soil strength parameters, a formula c (v, w) was fitted to express the variation of cohesion with wind speed (v) and moisture content (w). (3) The optimized evaluation model demonstrates increased sensitivity compared to the traditional model, resulting in a 17.88% increase in sliding force and a 10.62–11.64% increase in anti-sliding force. …”

Simulation of mixed flow characteristics of distiller′s grains-wastewater for anaerobic fermentation by Beibei YAN, Xiaoyun LIU, Shengquan ZHOU, Guanyi CHEN, Ziqiang ZHANG, Yonggang ZHANG

“…The simulation results showed that the slurry inside the curved blade at the top of the rotor reached a maximum velocity of 48.06 m/s and gradually decreased to zero along the radial direction. Due to the rotor's high-speed rotation, a high-pressure zone and a low-pressure zone were formed on each side of the rotor, with a maximum working pressure of 0.306 MPa. …”

The Impact of Air–Sea Flux Parameterization Methods on Simulating Storm Surges and Ocean Surface Currents by Li Cai, Bin Wang, Wenqian Wang, Xingru Feng

“…Our results quantify how the wind stress drag coefficient’s formulation alters atmosphere–ocean feedback, with wave-state aware schemes exhibiting superior surge prediction accuracy compared to wind-speed-dependent approaches. Specifically, a larger wind stress drag coefficient leads to increased atmospheric bottom stress and sea surface stress, resulting in weaker winds and larger sea surface currents and storm surges. …”
