Liquid films are often found in engineering applications with thicknesses ranging from micrometer scales to large scales with a wide range of applications. To optimize such systems, researchers have dedicated themselves to the development of new tech...
In this report we present seven lines of bioinformatic evidence supporting the conclusion that the Pentameric Ligand-gated Ion Channel (pLIC) Family is a member of the Voltage-gated Ion Channel (VIC) Superfamily. In our approach, we used the Transpor...
The plane–cube intersection problem has been discussed in the literature since 1984 and iterative solutions to it have been used as part of piecewise linear interface construction (PLIC) in computational fluid dynamics simulation codes ever sin...
The bubble bursting process existing in the particle flow is a complex gas-liquid-solid three-phase coupling dynamic problem. The bubble bursting mechanism, including dynamic characteristics and wall effects, is not clear. To address the above matter...
The pipeline system is widely used in marine engineering, and the formation mechanism and flow patterns of two-phase slug flows are of great significance for the optimal design of and vibration prevention in a complex pipeline system. Aiming at the a...
The transmission in automobiles is the core component to ensure operational stability. Heat accumulation in the meshing process will reduce the transmission efficiency and affect the service life. Here, the essential physical process to improve trans...
Low high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-c) is the most remarkable lipid trait both in mild-to-moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients as well as in advanced renal disease stages, and we have previously shown that reduced lecithin:cholest...
The volume-of-fluid (VOF) method is widely used for multiphase flow simulations, where the VOF function implicitly represents the interface through the volume fraction field. The height function (HF) method on a Cartesian grid integrates the volume f...
Objective: Cardiosurgical mitral valve repair (MVR) cannot be easily replaced by other interventional procedures due to the complexity of mitral valve regurgitation as well as physiologic and anatomic repair techniques. A wide variety of techniques h...
A Cr13Ni5Si2-based composite coating was successfully deposited on copper by pulse laser induction hybrid cladding (PLIC), and its high-temperature wear behavior was investigated. Temperature evolutions associated with crack behaviors in PLIC were an...
This study reports the development of a numerical method to simulate two-phase flows of Newtonian fluids that are incompressible, immiscible, and isothermal. The interface in the simulation is located and reconstructed using the geometric volume of f...
In recent years, academic research on perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has attracted remarkable attention, and one of the most crucial issues is promoting the power conversion efficiency (PCE) and operational stability of PSCs. Generally, modification o...
