Abstract Carbonate gas reservoirs are often characterized by strong heterogeneity, complex inter-well connectivity, extensive edge or bottom water, and unbalanced production, challenges that are also common in many heterogeneous gas reservoirs with intricate storage and flow behavior. To address these issues within a unified, data-driven framework, this study develops a multi-block material balance model that accounts for inter-block flow and aquifer influx, and is applicable to a wide range of reservoir types. The model incorporates inter-well and well-group conductive connectivity together with pseudo–steady-state aquifer support. The governing equations are solved using a Newton–Raphson scheme, while particle More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Addressing the limitations of inadequate stochastic disturbance characterization during wind turbine degradation processes that result in constrained modeling accuracy, replacement-based maintenance practices that deviate from actual operational conditions, and static maintenance strategies that fail to adapt to accelerated deterioration trends leading to suboptimal remaining useful life utilization, this study proposes a Time-Based Incomplete Maintenance (TBIM) strategy incorporating reliability constraints through stochastic differential equations (SDE). By quantifying stochastic interference via Brownian motion terms and characterizing nonlinear degradation features through state influence rate functions, a high-precision SDE degradation model is constructed, achieving 16% residual reduction compared to… More >

Abstract In recent years, tuned liquid dampers (TLDs) have emerged as a focal point of research due to their remarkable potential for structural vibration mitigation. Yet, progress in this field remains constrained by an incomplete understanding of the fundamental mechanisms governing sloshing-induced loads in liquid-filled containers. Aqueducts present a distinctive case, as the capacity of their contained water to function effectively as a TLD remains uncertain. To address this gap, the present study investigates the generation mechanisms of sloshing loads under non-resonant cases through a two-dimensional (2D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model developed in ANSYS Fluent.… More >

Abstract The work presents new methods for selecting adaptive artificial viscosity (AAV) in iterative algorithms of completely conservative difference schemes (CCDS) used to solve gas dynamics equations in Euler variables. These methods allow to effectively suppress oscillations, including in velocity profiles, as well as computational instabilities in modeling gas-dynamic processes described by hyperbolic equations. The methods can be applied both in explicit and implicit (method of separate sweeps) iterative processes in numerical modeling of gas dynamics in the presence of heat and mass transfer, as well as in solving problems of magnetohydrodynamics and computational astrophysics.

Abstract In recent years, tuned liquid dampers (TLDs) have attracted significant research interest; however, overall progress has been limited due to insufficient understanding of the mechanisms governing sloshing-induced loads. In particular, it remains unclear whether the water in aqueducts—common water-diversion structures in many countries—can serve as an effective TLD. This study investigates the generation mechanisms of sloshing loads during the first-order transverse resonance of water in a U-shaped aqueduct using a two-dimensional (2D) numerical model. The results reveal that, at the equilibrium position, the free surface difference between the left and right walls, the horizontal force… More >

Abstract Background: Academic stress is a critical factor influencing university students’ well-being. However, research has shown that stress is not a unidimensional construct; different types of stressors (challenge vs. hindrance) may lead to distinct outcomes. This study constructed a structural equation model (SEM) to examine the relationships between challenge and hindrance academic stressors and students’ well-being, as well as the mediating mechanisms. Methods: Data were collected from 836 undergraduates at six universities in China (58.4% female, 41.6% male; Mean age = 20.47 ± 1.46 years). Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, and SEM with 5000 bootstrap resamples were conducted… More >

Abstract Fractional differential equations (FDEs) provide a powerful tool for modeling systems with memory and non-local effects, but understanding their underlying structure remains a significant challenge. While numerous numerical and semi-analytical methods exist to find solutions, new approaches are needed to analyze the intrinsic properties of the FDEs themselves. This paper introduces a novel computational framework for the structural analysis of FDEs involving iterated Caputo derivatives. The methodology is based on a transformation that recasts the original FDE into an equivalent higher-order form, represented as the sum of a closed-form, integer-order component G(y) and a residual… More >

Abstract Spherical bubble oscillations are widely used to model cavitation phenomena in biomedical and naval hydrodynamic systems. During collapse, a sudden increase in surrounding pressure initiates the collapse of a cavitation bubble, followed by a rebound driven by the high internal gas pressure. While the ideal gas equation of state (EOS) is commonly used to describe the internal pressure and temperature of the bubble, it is limited in its capacity to capture molecular-level effects under highly compressed conditions. In the present study, we employ non-ideal EOS for the gas (the van der Waals EOS and its… More >

Abstract This study presents a numerical investigation of shallow water wave dynamics with particular emphasis on the role of surface tension. In the absence of surface tension, shallow water waves are primarily driven by gravity and are well described by the classical Boussinesq equation, which incorporates fourth-order dispersion. Under this framework, solitary and shock waves arise through the balance of nonlinearity and gravity-induced dispersion, producing waveforms whose propagation speed, amplitude, and width depend largely on depth and initial disturbance. The resulting dynamics are comparatively smoother, with solitary waves maintaining coherent structures and shock waves displaying gradual… More > Graphic Abstract
