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. …”
