Abstract The configuration of underground powerhouses is crucial in pumped-storage hydropower projects, which play a vital role in maintaining grid stability, facilitating the integration of renewable energy sources, and managing flood risks. However, geotechnical challenges, such as complex joint orientations, anisotropy in in-situ stress, and rock damage caused by excavation, require thorough stability assessments. This research employs the ubiquitous anisotropic joint model within FLAC3D to investigate the effects of joint dip angle, joint dip direction, and the alignment of in-situ stress on the stability of surrounding rock formations. The key parameters analyzed include joint cohesion, friction angle, More >

Abstract To elucidate the relationship between pipeline erosion and wear during slurry transportation, this study considers three key influencing parameters, namely, the ratio of inlet to outlet pipe diameter, the length of the variable diameter section, and the roughness of the pipe wall. The impact of these factors on pipeline erosion and wear is analyzed using a single-factor analysis approach. In particular, the Fluent software is employed to conduct the required numerical simulations for variable diameter elbows of varying morphologies. The results indicate that as the inlet to outlet diameter ratio increases, the wear on… More >

Abstract

SR-AOP (sulfate radical advanced oxidation process) is a novel water treatment method able to eliminate refractory organic pollutants. Hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) is a novel green technology, that can effectively produce strong oxidizing sulfate radicals. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the research advancements in these fields and a critical discussion of the principal factors influencing HC-enhanced SR-AOP and the mechanisms of synergistic degradation. Furthermore, some insights into the industrial application of HC/PS are also provided. Current research shows that this technology is feasible at the laboratory stage, but its application on larger scales requires

Abstract Wood is a green material in line with the sustainable development strategy. From the excellent performance of engineering wood products, modern wood structures represented by light wood structures have gained more development opportunities. As an indispensable part of light wood structure systems, the wood-frame shear wall plays a vital role in the bearing capacity and earthquake resistance of light wood structure systems. This paper is focused on a review of the lateral performance of wood-frame shear walls and classifies the influencing factors in relevant experimental research into three categories, including internal factors such as shear More >

Abstract In this study a Cu₄₃Zr₄₈Al₉ bulk metallic glass prepared by the copper mold casting method is considered. In recent years, Cu-Zr-Al systems like this have enjoyed widespread attention due to their high strength, high hardness, high corrosion resistance and low cost. Here samples of this substance are studied using DSC (Differential scanning calorimetry) to determine the effect of different test conditions (heating rate, sample mass, sample specific surface area and sample crystal phase) on the characteristic thermodynamic temperature of the bulk metallic glass. Experimental results show that almost all of the five characteristic thermodynamic temperatures More >

Abstract Based on the Viscous Kelvin-Helmholtz theory used by D. Barnea & Y. Taitel (1993), a two-fluid stratified flow model of gas-liquid two-phase flow is established. Using the mathematical derivation, the influence of various influence factors on the stability of liquid level structure is synthesized. Compared with the criteria of D Barnea & Y. Taitel (1993) and Taitel & Dukler(1976) , and the algorithm of flow pattern transition criterion of stratified flow is proposed. According to the data of multiphase flow experimental loop, the influence of liquid viscosity and the instantaneous volume flow rate change of More >

Abstract At present, the academic researches on moral choices focus mainly on the individuals’ external behaviors, without fully considering the influences of the individuals’ internal psychological factors. Based on the model of complete information static games in the Non-cooperative Game theory, the present research has designed a “Red and Blue Experiment” to explore the psychological influencing factors of the new generation employees’ moral choices. The research has conducted psychoanalysis on the new generation employees through experiments and interviews with 118 data sources, and concluded the characteristics in relation to the different stages of psychological processes and More >

Abstract Hevea brasiliensis is one of the important economic trees with a great economic value for natural rubber production. Symbiosis between roots of H. brasiliensis and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is widely recognized, and can provide a range of benefits for both of them. Hainan Island harbors is one of the largest plantations of H. brasiliensis in China, whereas the information regarding the diversity of AMF in the rhizosphere of H. brasiliensis on this island is scarce. The diversity of AMF species in the rhizosphere of rubber tree plantations in Hainan was investigated in this study. A total of 72… More >
