Flows in manholes are complex and may include swirling and recirculation flow with significant turbulence and vorticity. However, how these complex 3D flow patterns could generate different energy losses and so affect flow quantity in the wider sewer network is unknown. In this work, 2D3C stereo Particle Image Velocimetry measurements are made in a surcharged scaled circular manhole. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model in OpenFOAM with four different Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) turbulence model is constructed using a volume of fluid model, to represent flows in this manhole. Velocity profiles and pressure distributions from the models are compared with the experimental data in view of finding the best modelling approach. It was found among four different RANS models that the re-normalization group (RNG) k-ɛ and k-ω shear stress transport (SST) gave a better approximation for velocity and pressure.

When a hypersonic seeker flies at high speed within the atmosphere, intense interaction with the incoming flow gradually develops into a complex turbulent flow field. This interaction results in complex thermal responses at the seeker window, causing aerodynamic optical effects such as image shift, jitter, and blur of the target image, thereby restricting the seeker's detection capability and accuracy. This paper uses a numerical simulation model for the guidance performance of a hypersonic seeker under aerodynamic optical transmission effects.

As human complex diseases are influenced by the interaction between genetics and the environment, identifying gene-environment interactions (G × E) is crucial for understanding disease mechanisms and predicting risk. Developing robust quantitative tools for G × E analysis can enhance the study of complex diseases. However, many existing methods that explore G × E focus on the interplay between an environmental factor and genetic variants, exclusively for common or rare variants.

Aim: The aim of this revision was to update the Remote Area Nurse (RAN) Model of Consultation (MoC) and was prompted by publication of the National Rural and Remote Nursing Generalist Framework (2013-2018), shifts in RAN workforce patterns, community health patterns and technology use.
Context: Rural and remote residents face higher rates of hospitalisations, deaths and poorer access to health care with a significant burden of avoidable fatal conditions among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Health care is mostly provided by RANs and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioners (ATSIHPs), addressing diverse health needs, a mobile population and navigating cross-cultural situations.

As train speeds increase, the aerodynamic effects generated during the passage of high-speed trains in tunnels become more pronounced. This article investigates the influence of line spacing on the aerodynamic forces during the passage of high-speed trains in tunnels at different speeds. The research methodology is based on the three-dimensional transient compressible Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and the k-ω Shear Stress Transport (SST) turbulence model, using overset grid technology to simulate the train passing process in the tunnel.
