    Shiyue Zhang1, Xue Song1,2, Jingying Wang1,*, Wen Huang3,*, Yue Zhou4, Mingrui Li1

    Molecular & Cellular Biomechanics, Vol.20, No.2, pp. 81-94, 2023, DOI:10.32604/mcb.2023.044445

    Abstract Pulmonary embolism (PE), caused by deep venous thrombosis (DVT), is a disease with high morbidity and mortality. Implantation of inferior vena cava filters is an important method for the clinical prevention of PE. The hemodynamic characteristics of filters implanted in the inferior vena cava (IVC) have a significant impact on their performance. However, IVC diameters vary among patients. This may have a direct impact on the hemodynamic properties of the filter. At present, there is no research on this kind of problem to be investigated. In this paper, the hemodynamic properties of the VenaTech convertible filter were simulated in three… More > Graphic Abstract

    Influence of the Blade Bifurcated Tip on the Correlation between Wind Turbine Wheel Vibration and Aerodynamic Noise

    Baohua Li1, Yuanjun Dai1,2,*, Jingan Cui1, Cong Wang1, Kunju Shi1

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.19, No.12, pp. 3033-3043, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.029583

    Abstract To reduce the vibration and aerodynamic noise of wind turbines, a new design is proposed relying on a blade with a bifurcated apex or tip. The performances of this wind turbine wheel are tested at the entrance of a DC (directaction) wind tunnel for different blade tip angles and varying centrifugal force and aerodynamic loads. The test results indicate that the bifurcated apex can reduce the vibration acceleration amplitude and the vibration frequency of the wind wheel. At the same time, the bifurcated apex can lower the maximum sound pressure level corresponding to the rotating fundamental frequency of the wind… More >

    Simulation of Moving Bed Erosion Based on the Weakly Compressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics-Discrete Element Coupling Method

    Qingyun Zeng1,2, Mingxin Zheng1,*, Dan Huang2

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.19, No.12, pp. 2981-3005, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.029427

    Abstract A complex interface exists between water flow and solid particles during hydraulic soil erosion. In this study, the particle discrete element method (DEM) has been used to simulate the hydraulic erosion of a granular soil under moving bed conditions and surrounding terrain changes. Moreover, the weakly compressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (WCSPH) approach has been exploited to simulate the instability process of the free surface fluid and its propagation characteristics at the solid–liquid interface. The influence of a suspended medium on the water flow dynamics has been characterized using the mixed viscosity concept accounting for the solid–liquid mixed particle volume ratio.… More > Graphic Abstract

    Design and Fluid-Dynamic Analysis of a Flushing Nozzle for Drilling Applications

    Zhongshuai Chen1,2, Hongjian Ni1,*, Xueliang Pei2, Yu Gao3

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.19, No.12, pp. 2953-2963, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.029491

    Abstract The actuator is a key component of the creaming tool in drilling applications. Its jet performances determine the effective reaming efficiency. In this work, a new selective reaming tool is proposed and the RNG k-ε turbulence model is used to calculate its internal and external flow fields. In particular, special attention is paid to the design of the flushing nozzle. The results show that the jet originating from the flushing nozzle has a significant influence on rock cutting and blade cooling effects. In turn, the jet performances depend on geometric structure of the creaming actuator. In this framework, a conical-cylindrical… More >

    Time Highlighted Multi-Interest Network for Sequential Recommendation

    Jiayi Ma, Tianhao Sun*, Xiaodong Zhang

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.76, No.3, pp. 3569-3584, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.040005

    Abstract Sequential recommendation based on a multi-interest framework aims to analyze different aspects of interest based on historical interactions and generate predictions of a user’s potential interest in a list of items. Most existing methods only focus on what are the multiple interests behind interactions but neglect the evolution of user interests over time. To explore the impact of temporal dynamics on interest extraction, this paper explicitly models the timestamp with a multi-interest network and proposes a time-highlighted network to learn user preferences, which considers not only the interests at different moments but also the possible trends of interest over time.… More >

    A New Strategy for Dynamic Channel Allocation in CR-WMN Based on RCA

    Kaleem Arshid1,*, Jianbiao Zhang1, Muhammad Yaqub1, Mohammad Daud Awan2, Habiba Ijaz3, Imran Shabir Chuhan4

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.76, No.3, pp. 2631-2647, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.035735

    Abstract Channel assignment has emerged as an essential study subject in Cognitive Radio-based Wireless Mesh Networks (CR-WMN). In an era of alarming increase in Multi-Radio Multi-Channel (MRMC) network expansion interference is decreased and network throughput is significantly increased when non-overlapping or partially overlapping channels are correctly integrated. Because of its ad hoc behavior, dynamic channel assignment outperforms static channel assignment. Interference reduces network throughput in the CR-WMN. As a result, there is an extensive research gap for an algorithm that dynamically distributes channels while accounting for all types of interference. This work presents a method for dynamic channel allocations using unsupervised… More >

    He Wang1, Xiangsheng Xu1, Guanye Shen2, Bian Jing1,*

    Energy Engineering, Vol.120, No.10, pp. 2251-2272, 2023, DOI:10.32604/ee.2023.028965

    Abstract There are issues with flexible DC transmission system such as a lack of control freedom over power flow. In order to tackle these issues, a DC power flow controller (DCPFC) is incorporated into a multi-terminal, flexible DC power grid. In recent years, a multi-port DC power flow controller based on a modular multi-level converter has become a focal point of research due to its simple structure and robust scalability. This work proposes a model predictive control (MPC) strategy for multi-port interline DC power flow controllers in order to improve their steady-state dynamic performance. Initially, the mathematical model of a multi-terminal… More >

    Weijun Wang1,*, Min Chen1, Hui Yin1, Yuan Li2

    Energy Engineering, Vol.120, No.10, pp. 2433-2448, 2023, DOI:10.32604/ee.2023.028620

    Abstract To identify the parameters of the extended Debye model of XLPE cables, and therefore evaluate the insulation performance of the samples, the sparsity-promoting dynamic mode decomposition (SPDMD) method was introduced, as well the basics and processes of its application were explained. The amplitude vector based on polarization current was first calculated. Based on the non-zero elements of the vector, the number of branches and parameters including the coefficients and time constants of each branch of the extended Debye model were derived. Further research on parameter identification of XLPE cables at different aging stages based on the SPDMD method was carried… More >
