Abstract In this study, a Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) surrogate model coupled with a Bayesian optimization algorithm was employed for the single-objective design optimization of fan-shaped film cooling holes on a concave wall. Fan-shaped holes, commonly used in gas turbines and aerospace applications, flare toward the exit to form a protective cooling film over hot surfaces, enhancing thermal protection compared to cylindrical holes. An initial hole configuration was used to improve adiabatic cooling efficiency. Design variables included the hole injection angle, forward expansion angle, lateral expansion angle, and aperture ratio, while the objective function was the More >

Abstract In modern engineering, situations that require vibration reduction often come with specific pressure requirements. Mechanical metamaterials have the advantages in mechanical loading and low-frequency band gap vibration reduction. To ensure that the structure has a wide and low-frequency band gap while having a pressure resistance, a two-dimensional triangular concave negative Poisson's ratio structure with strong pressure resistance is introduced. The internal structure is designed according to the principle of local resonance. The band structure and intrinsic modes of the two-dimensional triangular concave model are calculated by the finite element method through simulation software. The band… More >

Abstract The structure of the concave-convex plates has proven to be crucial in optimizing the internal flow characteristics of the electrolyzer for hydrogen production. This paper investigates the impact of the gradual expansion angle of the inlet channel on the internal flow field of alkaline electrolyzers. The flow distribution characteristics of concave-convex plates with different inlet angle structures in the electrolytic cell is discussed. Besides, the system with internal heat source is studied. The results indicate that a moderate gradual expansion angle is beneficial for enhancing fluid uniformity. However, an excessively large gradual expansion angle may More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) exists within the bronchial airway wall in a form of spirally winding bundles [1]. This pattern emerges early during embryonic development and is involved in airway branching [2], providing the airway appropriate contractile capacity and resistance to circumferential tension in health or causing excessive airway narrowing in disease such as asthma. Despite its importance, the cause of ASMCs self-organization remains largely a mystery. Previously, we have demonstrated in 2D that ASMCs can sense the curvature in their microenvironment and change behaviors in differentiation, orientation and migration accordingly [3]. Here we… More >
