AI Article Synopsis
- The research utilized a comprehensive simulation model to analyze the behavior and distribution of bubbles in a continuous-casting mold, focusing on their interaction with two-phase flow.
- It examined how various bubble interaction models influenced the spatial and size distribution of bubbles, as well as the overall flow dynamics in the mold.
- Findings indicated that bubble coalescence and break-up occurred predominantly near the submerged entry nozzle, with an average bubble diameter of 0.741 mm and 44.5% of bubbles being around this average size.
Article Abstract
In this paper, a fully coupled large eddy simulation model, including the volume of fluid model, the discrete phase model, the bubble-collision model, and the bubble-breakup model was used to simulate the spatial distribution of multi-size bubbles and its impact on the instantaneous two-phase flow in a slab continuous-casting mold. The influence of the bubble-interaction model on the bubbles' three-dimensional spatial distribution and size distribution, as well as on two-phase flow was discussed. By comparison with the velocity on the meniscus and the average bubble diameter inside a continuous-casting slab water model, the appropriate numerical model was recommended to accurately simulate the two-phase flow and characteristics of discrete bubbles. The submerged entry nozzle and the area around it saw bubble coalescence and breakage more frequently than other areas. The key interaction between the bubbles was their bouncing in the deep region of the mold. In the mold, the average bubble diameter was 0.741 mm, and 44.5% of the total number of bubbles had an approximately average diameter.

Tomato fruit ripening is a complex physiological process that involves morphological, anatomical, biochemical, and molecular alterations. One of these changes occurring during ripening is the softening of the fruit, which is attributed to modifications in the biosynthesis and degradation of individual cell wall components, i.e.

To understand the gut microbiota composition in different intestinal segments is essential to clarify the structure-hypoglycemic relationship of Fructus Mori Polysaccharides (MFP). In this study, the spatial distribution of gut microbiota and fecal metabolites affected by MFP in type 2 diabetes mice was investigated using the 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing technology and gas chromatography. The results showed that MFP could control body weight and reduce the blood glucose level.

Quantitatively assessing the origins of aerosol zinc (Zn) is crucial for understanding of the global atmospheric Zn cycle and for formulating targeted policies to mitigate anthropogenic Zn emissions. Zn isotope ratios (denoted as δ⁶⁶Zn) serve as powerful tools for constraining the origins of aerosol Zn. This review comprehensively compiles an δ⁶⁶Zn (relative to Lyon JMC Zn standard) dataset (n = 207) for multi-sized aerosols observed exclusively in the Northern Hemisphere, encompassing diverse atmospheric environments, including urban areas and remote deserts, glacier, and ocean.

Environmental DNA (eDNA) is emerging as a valuable tool for generating standardised biodiversity data. Whether used alone or alongside conventional surveys, it is expected that eDNA data can improve conservation planning, but this remains largely untested. Here, we assessed the value of eDNA data for making more robust conservation prioritisation decisions, by comparing errors made when identifying priority areas based on conventional data, eDNA or a combination of both.

Evaluating tissue distribution of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) tracers during their development conventionally involves autoradiography techniques, where radioactive compounds are used for visualization and quantification in tissues during preclinical development stages. Mass Spectrometry Imaging (MSI) offers a potential alternative, providing spatial information without the need for radioactivity with a similar spatial resolution. This study aimed to optimize a MSI sample preparation protocol for assessing PET tracer candidates with a focus on two compounds: UCB-J and UCB2400.
