A simple collision model for small bubbles.

Institute of Fluid Mechanics, TU Dresden, George-Bähr-Str 3c, 01069 Dresden, Germany.

Published: March 2017

In this work, a model for the interaction force between a small bubble and a wall or another bubble is presented. The formulation is especially designed for Lagrangian calculations of bubble or soft sphere trajectories, with or without resolution of the continuous fluid. The force only relies on position and velocity of the bubble. The model does not include any empirical parameter that would have to be calibrated. Therefore, this force model is easy to implement. The formulation of the force is explicit, which means low computational effort. The collision of a small bubble with an inclined top wall is investigated numerically and experimentally. The computational results achieved with the new collision model show good agreement with the experiment.

Collision detection method for anchor digging machine water drilling rig.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Institute of Mineral Resources Exploitation and Utilization Technology and Equipment, Liaoning Technical University, Fuxin, 123000, Liaoning, China.

Loading water drilling rig on the anchor digging machine can effectively increase the tunneling efficiency. In order to avoid the interference between the water drilling rig and the anchor machine in the working process, it is necessary to calculate the joint variables of the drilling rig accurately. Using the robot kinematics analysis method, the kinematics model of the system is established.

Purpose: Previous research on pediatric motor vehicle collisions (MVC) and fatalities has primarily focused on patient demographics and crash specific information. This study evaluates whether various measures of local infrastructure, including the National Walk Index (NWI), population density, and public school density, or macroeconomic forces, encapsulated in Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) and food area deprivation (PFA) can predict which counties are most at risk for pediatric traffic fatalities.

Methods: Counties with more than 100,000 children in the most recent US census and ≥1 pediatric traffic fatality as identified in the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) between 2017 and 2021 were included in the study.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates CP symmetry violation in the decay of D^{+} particles into K^{-}K^{+}π^{+} using data from proton-proton collisions at a high energy of 13 TeV.
  • A unique model-independent method was employed to analyze the phase-space distributions of D^{+} and D^{-} particles, correcting for any instrumental biases using D_{s}^{+} decays.
  • The findings indicate no significant evidence of CP violation, with a p value of 8.1%, and measure specific CP asymmetry observables, marking this study as the most sensitive search of its kind in multibody decays.

Article Synopsis
  • Using alternating currents (AC) can effectively prevent the formation of mineral crystals on surfaces in contact with super-saturated fluids, such as heat exchangers and pipes.
  • The study demonstrates that periodic charging and discharging of the electrical double layer (EDL) on titanium sheets in super-saturated CaCO solutions inhibits both crystal nucleation and growth due to enhanced ion migration.
  • Operating at 4 V and frequencies between 0.1-10 Hz results in over 96% reduction in turbidity and over 92% reduction in calcium carbonate coverage, showcasing a promising method for controlling mineral scaling in various industrial applications.
