Abstract The safety and stability of high-speed maglev trains traveling on viaducts in crosswinds critically depend on their aerodynamic characteristics. Therefore, this paper uses an improved delayed detached eddy simulation (IDDES) method to investigate the aerodynamic features of high-speed maglev trains with different marshaling lengths under crosswinds. The effects of marshaling lengths (varying from 3-car to 8-car groups) on the train’s aerodynamic performance, surface pressure, and the flow field surrounding the train were investigated using the three-dimensional unsteady compressible Navier-Stokes (N-S) equations. The results showed that the marshaling lengths had minimal influence on the aerodynamic performance of the head and middle… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Text summarization aims to generate a concise version of the original text. The longer the summary text is, the more detailed it will be from the original text, and this depends on the intended use. Therefore, the problem of generating summary texts with desired lengths is a vital task to put the research into practice. To solve this problem, in this paper, we propose a new method to integrate the desired length of the summarized text into the encoder-decoder model for the abstractive text summarization problem. This length parameter is integrated into the encoding phase at each self-attention step and… More >

Abstract In this study, numerical simulations of the pinching-off phenomena displayed by the dispersed phase in a continuous phase have been conducted using COMSOL Multiphysics (level-set method). Four flow patterns, namely “drop flow”, “jet flow”, “squeeze flow”, and “co-flow”, have been obtained for different flow velocity ratios, channel diameter ratios, density ratios, viscosity ratios, and surface tension. The flow pattern map of two-phase flow in coaxial microchannels has been obtained accordingly, and the associated droplet generation process has been critically discussed considering the related frequency, diameter, and pinch-off length. In particular, it is shown that the larger the flow velocity ratio,… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Fish schools are capable of simultaneous linear acceleration. To reveal the underlying hydrodynamic mechanism, we numerically investigate how Reynolds number Re = 1000−2000, Strouhal number St = 0.2−0.7 and wavelength λ = 0.5−2 affects the mean net thrust of two side-by-side NACA0012 hydrofoils undulating in anti-phase. In total, 550 cases are simulated using immersed boundary method. The thrust is strengthened by wavelength and Strouhal number, yet only slightly by the Reynolds number. We apply the symbolic regression algorithm to formulate this relationship as a high-level summary. More >

Abstract This study presents the design of a modified attributed control chart based on a double sampling (DS) np chart applied in combination with generalized multiple dependent state (GMDS) sampling to monitor the mean life of the product based on the time truncated life test employing the Weibull distribution. The control chart developed supports the examination of the mean lifespan variation for a particular product in the process of manufacturing. Three control limit levels are used: the warning control limit, inner control limit, and outer control limit. Together, they enhance the capability for variation detection. A genetic algorithm can be used… More >

Abstract To analyze the effects of a time-varying viscosity on the penetration length of grouting, in this study cement slurries with varying water-cement ratios have been investigated using the Bingham’s fluid flow equation and a discrete element method. A fluid-solid coupling numerical model has been introduced accordingly, and its accuracy has been validated through comparison of theoretical and numerical solutions. For different fracture forms (a single fracture, a branch fracture, and a fracture network), the influence of the time-varying viscosity on the slurry length range has been investigated, considering the change in the fracture aperture. The results show that under different… More >

Abstract Diethyl ether is one of the potential alternative fuels for the high speed compression ignition engines that can replace the existing neat diesel fuel. It is well known that the combustion characteristic of a compression ignition engine is highly influenced by the fuel spray structure formed during the injection process. In this paper the spray structure formation for the diethyl ether fuel is studied numerically, using the discrete phase model and it is compared with the neat diesel fuel. The spray is investigated in a constant volume chamber maintained at 30 bar pressure. The fuel is injected into the chamber… More >

Abstract The recent trend application of the nanofluids is used in some industrial equipment such as tube heat exchanger, double pipe exchanger and shell-tube type heat exchanger. The Triangle tubes may be used in the heat exchanger. Thus, this experimental study reports the convective heat transfer performance of the aluminum oxide-water nanofluids flowing in the triangle channel. In this study, the amount of the volume fraction of the Al₂O₃ used was 0.1 %, 0.2 %, and 0.3 respectively in base-water as the nanofluids and the Reynolds numbers were varied from about 1000 to 7000. The channel was heated by the electric… More >

Abstract This study aims to realize the sharing of near-infrared analysis models of lignin and holocellulose content in pulp wood on two different batches of spectrometers and proposes a combined algorithm of SPA-DS, MCUVE-DS and SiPLS-DS. The Successive Projection Algorithm (SPA), the Monte-Carlo of Uninformative Variable Elimination (MCUVE) and the Synergy Interval Partial Least Squares (SiPLS) algorithms are respectively used to reduce the adverse effects of redundant information in the transmission process of the full spectrum DS algorithm model. These three algorithms can improve model transfer accuracy and efficiency and reduce the manpower and material consumption required for modeling. These results… More >

Abstract The length of flame and behavior of the flame and homogenization in temperature distribution play the main roles to obtain a better quality of lime. Performing experiments in a real lime shaft kiln plant are quite complicated. A lime shaft kiln normally has a large geometry, including a height of 15 meters and a diameter of 3 meters, and is filled with large stones moving in a vertical direction. In most cases, the measuring instruments are damaged. Due to these difficulties, modeling of physical and chemical processes is required for having a better understanding of the process and optimizing the… More >
