Abstract The adaptation of existing natural gas pipelines for hydrogen transportation has attracted increasing attention in recent years. Yet, whether hydrogen and natural gas stratify under static conditions remains a subject of debate, and experimental evidence is still limited. This study presents an experimental investigation of the concentration distribution of hydrogen–natural gas mixtures under static conditions. Hydrogen concentration was measured using a KTL-2000M-H hydrogen analyzer, with a measurement range of 0–30% (by volume), an accuracy of 1% full scale (FS), and a resolution of 0.01%. Experiments were conducted in a 300 cm riser, filled with uniformly… More >

Abstract Geological stratification interpretation divides geological strata based on acquired well-logging data, providing comparative analysis results for strata and structures. This process serves as a fundamental framework for subsequent drilling and development design plans, making it a crucial step in oil exploration and development process. Traditional geological stratification interpretation methods are based primarily on geological, logging, and experimental data, with manual determination of strata boundaries to obtain interpretation results. However, manual interpretation is characterized by strong subjectivity and reliance on experience, which may compromise the quality and consistency of the results. To eliminate the dependency on… More >

Abstract The increasing demand due to development and advancement in every field of life has caused the depletion of fossil fuels. This depleting fossil fuel reserve throughout the world has enforced to get energy from alternative/renewable sources. One of the economical ways to get energy is through the utilization of solar ponds. In this study, a mathematical model of a salt gradient solar pond under the Islamabad climatic conditions has been analyzed for the first time. The model uses a one-dimensional finite difference explicit method for optimization of different zone thicknesses. The model depicts that NCZ More >

Abstract The variable salinity in stored reservoirs connected by a long channel attracts the attention of scientists worldwide, having applications in environmental and geophysical engineering. This study explores the impact of Navier slip conditions on exchange flows within a long channel connecting two large reservoirs of differing salinity. These horizontal density gradients drive the flow. We modify the recent one-dimensional theory, developed to avoid runaway stratification, to account for the presence of uniform slip walls. By adjusting the parameters of the horizontal density gradient based on the slip factor, we resolve analytically various flow regimes ranging… More >

Abstract The article presents the results of in-kind measurements and numerical modeling of the formation of water characteristics in the Kama River, which is used for technical water supply in the production of potash fertilizers. In the warm season, risks arise that threaten the sustainability of the water supply. It was found that in the summer, when the studied section of the Kama River is backed up by the Kama Hydroelectric Power Station, there is a significant decrease in flow rates, which leads to vertical stratification of water properties. This, in turn, significantly limits the possibilities… More >

Abstract The mathematical model for non-Newtonian magnetohydrodynamics flows across a vertically stretched surface with non-linear thermal radiation, mass and heat transfer rates, thermophoretic and Brownian movements, bio-convection, and motile microbes considered in the present work. It is possible to regulate the nanomaterial suspension in the nanofluid using the growth of microbes. With the use of boundary layer approximation, highly nonlinear partial differential equations were derived for the present flow model. The nonlinear partial differential equations are converted into ordinary differential equations by utilizing similarity transmutations, which simplify them. Numerical elixirs for ordinary differential equations are found More >

Abstract Introduction: Prostate cancer screening with PSA is associated with low specificity; furthermore, little is known about the optimal timing of biopsy. We aimed to evaluate whether a risk classification system combining PSA density (PSAD) and mpMRI can predict clinically significant cancer and determine biopsy timing.
Materials and methods: We reviewed the medical records of 256 men with a PI-RADS ≥ 3 lesion on mpMRI who underwent transperineal targeted and systematic biopsies of the prostate between 2017-2019. Patients were stratified into three risk groups based on PSAD and mpMRI findings.
The study endpoint was clinically significant prostate cancer (CSPC).… More >

Abstract Background: Current guidelines for managing pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) recommend a risk stratification approach. However, the applicability and accuracy of these strategies for PAH associated with congenital heart disease (PAH-CHD) require further validation. This study aims to validate the reliability and predictive accuracy of a simplified stratification strategy for PAH-CHD patients over a three-year follow-up. Additionally, new prognostic variables are identified and novel risk stratification methods are developed for assessing and managing PAH-CHD patients. Methods: This retrospective study included 126 PAH-CHD patients. Clinical and biochemical variables across risk groups were assessed using Kruskal-Wallis and Fisher’s… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract This study is devoted to an analysis of natural convection and the emergence of delamination in an incompressible fluid encapsulated in a closed region heated from the side. Weak, medium and intensive modes of stationary laminar thermal and thermo-concentration convection are considered. It is shown that nonlinear flow features can radically change the flow structure and characteristics of heat and mass transfer. Moreover, the temperature and concentration segregation in the center of the square region display a non-monotonic dependence on the Grashof number (flow intensity). The formation of a nonstationary periodic structure of thermal convection More >

Abstract The fully nonlinear equations of gas dynamics are solved in the framework of a numerical approach in order to study the stability of the steady mode of Rayleigh-Bénard convection in compressible, viscous and heat-conducting gases encapsulated in containers with no-slip boundaries and isothermal top and bottom walls. An initial linear temperature profile is assumed. A map of the possible convective modes is presented assuming the height of the region and the value of the temperature gradient as influential parameters. For a relatively small height, isobaric convection is found to take place, which is taken over… More >
