AbstractMonitoring vessel traffic in coastal regions is a key element of maritime security. For this reason, additional ways of detecting moving vessels are explored by using the unique structure of their wake waves based on pressure measurements at the seabed. The expe...

Multiphase flows in porous media are important in many natural and industrial processes. Pore-scale models for multiphase flows have seen rapid development in recent years and are becoming increasingly useful as predictive tools in both academic and industrial applicati...

High-intensity plasmas can release material from the surface of polymers by a process known as arc-induced ablation. As consequence, the formation of a near-surface layer of polymeric vapor is generally assumed. In order to investigate the near-surface layer formed by t...

Abstract. Sea states and environmental conditions are basic data for the design of marine structures. Hindcasted wave data have been applied here with the aim of identifying the proper design conditions for an innovative quay wall concept. In this paper, the results of ...

We develop and analyse the first second-order phase-field model to combine melting and dissolution in multi-component flows. This provides a simple and accurate way to simulate challenging phase-change problems in existing codes. Phase-field models simplify computation ...

In this paper we study the well-posedness of a simple model of boundary layer for rotating fluids between two concentric spheres near the equator. We show that this model can be seen as a degenerate elliptic equation , for which we prove an existence result thanks to a ...

The objective of this article is to determine the anode surface temperature during and after current zero (CZ) with single and dual vacuum arc columns. Both the alternating current (ac) and pulsed direct current (dc) waveforms were applied with a peak value of 5–16 kA. ...

Against the background of a drastically increased demand of marine proteins, off-bottom, bivalve aquaculture, provides significant potential for production growth when moved into more energetic marine waters. Hence, research, industry and politics are currently proposin...

Abstract Based on the special physical–chemical characteristics of optical crystal in the field of aeronautics, a new anhydrous based shear-thickening polishing (ASTP) method has been proposed to restrain deliquescence and to improve physical properties for KDP machinin...

Nitric oxide is a relatively stable free radical and an important signal molecule in plants, animals, and humans with high relevance for biological processes involving inflammatory processes, wound healing or cancer. The molecule can be detected in the gas phase of non-...
