    Dynamics of Low-Viscosity Liquids Interface in an Unevenly Rotating Vertical Layer

    Victor Kozlov1,*, Vladimir Saidakov1, Nikolai Kozlov2

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.4, pp. 693-703, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2024.048068

    Abstract The behavior of two immiscible low-viscosity liquids differing in density and viscosity in a vertical flat layer undergoing modulated rotation is experimentally studied. The layer has a circular axisymmetric boundary. In the absence of modulation of the rotation speed, the interphase boundary has the shape of a short axisymmetric cylinder. A new effect has been discovered, under the influence of rotation speed modulation, the interface takes on a new dynamic equilibrium state. A more viscous liquid covers the end boundaries of the layer in the form of thin films, which have the shape of round spots of almost constant radius;… More >

    Experimental Study of the Effect of Water Salinity on the Parameters of an Equilibrium Droplet Cluster Levitating over a Water Layer

    Alexander A. Fedorets1, Eduard E. Kolmakov1, Leonid A. Dombrovsky1,2,3,*

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.22, No.1, pp. 1-14, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fhmt.2024.049335

    Abstract New experimental results, which are important for the potential use of small levitating droplets as biochemical microreactors, are reported. It is shown that the combination of infrared heating and reduced evaporation of saline water under the droplet cluster is sufficient to produce equilibrium saltwater droplets over a wide temperature range. The resulting universal dependence of droplet size on temperature simplifies the choice of optimal conditions for generating stable droplet clusters with droplets of the desired size. A physical analysis of the experimental results on the equilibrium size of saltwater droplets makes it possible to separate the effects related to the… More > Graphic Abstract

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.2, No.4, pp. 1-20, 2011, DOI:10.5098/hmt.v2.4.3001

    Abstract Recent advances in thermodiffusion (Soret effect) in binary and higher multicomponent liquid mixtures are reviewed. The mixtures studied include the hydrocarbon, associating, molten metal and semiconductor, polymer, and DNA mixtures. The emphasis is placed on the theoretical works, particularly models based on the nonequilibrium thermodynamics, although other approaches such as the statistical, kinetic and hydrodynamic approaches are discussed as well. For each mixture, the major theoretical and experimental works are discussed and the research trends and challenges are addressed. Some of the challenges include a need for combining various methods to develop a comprehensive theoretical model or at least to… More >

    Abstract Background: Renal fibrosis is an important process in the development of chronic kidney disease. Understanding the pathogenesis and finding effective treatments for renal fibrosis is crucial. This study aims to investigate whether a newly discovered long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) called LOC103694972 could be a potential target for treating fibrosis of NRK-49F cells. Methods:: LncRNA Chip was used to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs between TGF-β1-induced NRK-49F cells and normal cells. The dual-luciferase assay confirmed the binding between miR-29c-3p and signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT3), as well as between miR-29c-3p and lncRNA LOC103694972. Si-LOC103694972 and miR-29c-3p mimic were then transfected… More > Graphic Abstract

    A Hybrid SIR-Fuzzy Model for Epidemic Dynamics: A Numerical Study

    Muhammad Shoaib Arif1,2,*, Kamaleldin Abodayeh1, Yasir Nawaz2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.3, pp. 3417-3434, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2024.046944

    Abstract This study focuses on the urgent requirement for improved accuracy in disease modeling by introducing a new computational framework called the Hybrid SIR-Fuzzy Model. By integrating the traditional Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered (SIR) model with fuzzy logic, our method effectively addresses the complex nature of epidemic dynamics by accurately accounting for uncertainties and imprecisions in both data and model parameters. The main aim of this research is to provide a model for disease transmission using fuzzy theory, which can successfully address uncertainty in mathematical modeling. Our main emphasis is on the imprecise transmission rate parameter, utilizing a three-part description of its membership level.… More >

    Dynamic Response Impact of Vehicle Braking on Simply Supported Beam Bridges with Corrugated Steel Webs Based on Vehicle-Bridge Coupled Vibration Analysis

    Yan Wang*, Siwen Li, Na Wei

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.3, pp. 3467-3493, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2024.046454

    Abstract A novel approach for analyzing coupled vibrations between vehicles and bridges is presented, taking into account spatiotemporal effects and mechanical phenomena resulting from vehicle braking. Efficient modeling and solution of bridge vibrations induced by vehicle deceleration are realized using this method. The method’s validity and reliability are substantiated through numerical examples. A simply supported beam bridge with a corrugated steel web is taken as an example and the effects of parameters such as the initial vehicle speed, braking acceleration, braking location, and road surface roughness on the mid-span displacement and impact factor of the bridge are analyzed. The results show… More >

    Prediction of Ground Vibration Induced by Rock Blasting Based on Optimized Support Vector Regression Models

    Yifan Huang1, Zikang Zhou1,2, Mingyu Li1, Xuedong Luo1,*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.3, pp. 3147-3165, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2024.045947

    Abstract Accurately estimating blasting vibration during rock blasting is the foundation of blasting vibration management. In this study, Tuna Swarm Optimization (TSO), Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA), and Cuckoo Search (CS) were used to optimize two hyperparameters in support vector regression (SVR). Based on these methods, three hybrid models to predict peak particle velocity (PPV) for bench blasting were developed. Eighty-eight samples were collected to establish the PPV database, eight initial blasting parameters were chosen as input parameters for the prediction model, and the PPV was the output parameter. As predictive performance evaluation indicators, the coefficient of determination (R2), root mean square… More >

    Xiaofang Kang1,2,*, Qiwen Huang1, Zongqin Wu1, Jianjun Tang1, Xueqin Jiang1, Shancheng Lei3

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.3, pp. 2361-2398, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.043936

    Abstract Tuned mass damper inerter (TMDI) is a device that couples traditional tuned mass dampers (TMD) with an inertial device. The inertial device produces resistance proportional to the relative acceleration at its two ends through its “inertial” constant. Due to its unique mechanical properties, TMDI has received widespread attention and application in the past twenty years. As different configurations are required in different practical situations, TMDI is still active in the research on vibration control and energy harvesting in structures. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the research status of TMDI. This work first examines the generation and important vibration… More >

    Multi-Objective Equilibrium Optimizer for Feature Selection in High-Dimensional English Speech Emotion Recognition

    Liya Yue1, Pei Hu2, Shu-Chuan Chu3, Jeng-Shyang Pan3,4,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.78, No.2, pp. 1957-1975, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.046962

    Abstract Speech emotion recognition (SER) uses acoustic analysis to find features for emotion recognition and examines variations in voice that are caused by emotions. The number of features acquired with acoustic analysis is extremely high, so we introduce a hybrid filter-wrapper feature selection algorithm based on an improved equilibrium optimizer for constructing an emotion recognition system. The proposed algorithm implements multi-objective emotion recognition with the minimum number of selected features and maximum accuracy. First, we use the information gain and Fisher Score to sort the features extracted from signals. Then, we employ a multi-objective ranking method to evaluate these features and… More >
