Mechanism of Drag Reduction in Floating Plate of Paddy Field Based on CFD by Xiaoze Yu, Baofeng Zhang, Jiahan You

“…The results show that, compared with the ordinary floating plate, the pressure difference resistance can be reduced by increasing the elevation angle by 60°, curved angle by 20°, and mud separation angle by 20°. The increase of the concave nonsmooth bottom surface structure can reduce viscous frictional resistance, and the total working resistance after structural optimization is comparatively reduced by 48.3%, with lowered hilling height in the forward direction and improved lubrication condition of the bottom surface, forming liquid lubrication effect. …”

Corneal Biomechanical Assessment Using Corneal Visualization Scheimpflug Technology in Keratoconic and Normal Eyes by Lei Tian, Yi-Fei Huang, Li-Qiang Wang, Hua Bai, Qun Wang, Jing-Jing Jiang, Ying Wu, Min Gao

“…The tomography and biomechanical parameters of the keratoconic corneas were significantly different from those of the normal corneas except for the anterior chamber angle, first applanation length, the highest concavity time, and peak distance. The deformation amplitude was the best predictive parameter (area under the curve: 0.882), with a sensitivity of 81.7%, although there was a significant overlap between keratoconic and normal corneas that ranged from 1.0 to 1.4 mm. …”

Experimental Analysis on Compression Characteristics of Improved Phyllite Filler by ZHANG Yang

“…Soil compression is an important characteristic that affect the construction and operation of improved soft rock filling in mountainous ports.Through adding 5% cement to improve the weakly weathered phyllite filler,setting 4 kinds of rolling loads and 5 cycles of loading and unloading,and using an improved high-pressure lever consolidation instrument,this paper measures the soil strain,compaction and porosity ratio under different stress states,and specifies the change law of compression modulus and resilience modulus during loading and unloading process.The test results shows that:The deformation of the modified phyllite filler mainly occurs in the first loading process,and it increases significantly with the increase of the rolling load.The porosity ratio curve shows a concave shape with the increased cycles of loading and unloading.When the rolling load is 100 kPa,the curve of porosity ratio is nonlinear with the increased cycles of loading and unloading;when the rolling load is 200 kPa,the compression of the soil changes from medium to low with the increase of compaction cycles.At this time,the modulus of resilience takes a minimum value.It is suggested that the 200 kPa roller compaction stress should be used as the first static compaction during the construction of improved soft rock filling in mountainous ports,which should be increased appropriately in the subsequent construction.…”

Research on Flood Impact and River Regime of Skew Bridges Crossing River Bend Based on FVM Method by NIU Jiao, CHENG Jingqing, YAN Xiaoyu, JIA Lei, WANG Zhichao

“…Based on finite volume method (FVM) and two-dimension unstructured grid,taking a skew bridge crossing the river bend as the research object,this paper builds a hydrodynamic model of the upstream and downstream of the bridge,and simulates and analyzes the impact of bridge construction on the upstream and downstream water level,flow velocity and river regime under different frequency floods.The results show that:Due to the water blocking action of the piers,the upstream water level of the bridge increases,the flow velocity between the piers increases,and the flow velocity of water face and back face of the piers decreases.As there is a angle between piers of the skew bridge and the natural river course,the water level on the left bank in the downstream rises and the right bank in the downstream drops.The flow velocity and sediment-carrying capacity on the left bank increases compared to those before the project,while those on the right bank decreases,and the affected area was concentrated in the river section near the bridge location.The river section where the bridge is located is bent.The bridge can play a positive role in preventing the siltation of convex bank (left bank) and the scour of concave bank (right bank) downstream the bridge.The research results can provide reference for the design of skew bridge.…”
