Engineering Application of an Identification Method to Shock-Induced Vortex Stability in the Transonic Axial Fan Rotor by Yan Xue, Ning Ge

“…To ensure the prediction accuracy of all numerical methods selected in this research, detailed comparisons are made between computational and experimental results before flow analysis. The excellent agreement between the both indicates that the current code is capable of capturing the dominant secondary flow structures and aerodynamic phenomenon, especially the vortex system in tip region and SW/TLV interaction. …”

Control Index for Water Regulation in Fish Breeding Season for Dongta Spawning Ground after Operation of Datengxia Gorge Water Conservancy Project by LIU Lishi, WANG Li, GE Xiaoxia, TAN Xichang

“…After the operation of the Datengxia Gorge water conservancy project,the change in the hydrological rhythm of the downstream river channel may have a certain impact on the function of the Dongta spawning ground about 10 km downstream.To maintain the normal function of the Dongta spawning ground,we should analyze the hydrological rhythm process required for fish spawning and use it as a control index to implement ecological regulation of reservoirs and thus restore the ecological environment of river channels.According to the observation data of early fish resources and hydrology over the past dozen years,the correlation between early fish resources and hydrological characteristic values in the Dongta spawning ground is analyzed by different statistical methods such as grey relational analysis and linear regression.In combination with the practical experience of ecological regulation in the Xijiang River Basin,the control index requirements for water regulation during the fish breeding period by the Datengxia Gorge water conservancy project are put forward.Specifically,by the regulation of the Datengxia Gorge water conservancy project from May to July every year,when the section flow rate of Dahuangjiangkou exceeds 3 500 m³/s,the water rise duration shall be no less than four days,with the daily rise rate in the water rise stage of more than 1 000 m³/s.The time for water to recede shall be no less than three days,and the flow rate in the water recession stage shall be above 3 500 m³/s.The regulation shall be performed at least once each year.The research results can provide a technical reference for maximizing the function of the Dongta spawning ground in the fish breeding period by the regulation of the Datengxia Gorge water conservancy project.…”

Quantifying soil surface erosion by Philippe, Pierre, Benahmed, Nadia

“…While this loss of solid matter induced by all kinds of fluid flows on the surface of soils is often a source of beauty in the landscapes that surround us, it also constitutes a major risk and poses growing threats in the context of global change as loss of agricultural soil fertility, decline in coastal ecosystems or increase in safety standards for flood protection structures. …”

Cavitation Effects on the Stability of a Submerged Journal Bearing by Jerzy T. Sawicki, T. V. V. L. N. Rao

“…Results of steady state and transient response for the submerged journal bearing using the present approach are compared with the universal equation based on the striated flow in the cavitation region. At steady state, the angular extent of cavitation region predicted by the present approach is higher than that predicted by Elrod's model and the limit cycle journal transient response using the present approach predicts higher eccentricity ratios.…”
