Abstract Hazardous gas intrusion in tightly sealed and geometrically complex confined spaces, such as armored tanks, poses a critical threat to occupant health. The intricate internal structure of these systems may lead to non-intuitive pollutant transport pathways. However, the spatial and temporal evolution of these structures, as well as the intrinsic mechanisms of the purification systems, remain poorly elucidated. In this study, a high-fidelity, transient three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was developed to simulate the leakage and dispersion of carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) using the RNG k-ε turbulence model. Scenarios with and without… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Cooling system design applicable to more than one photovoltaic (PV) unit may be challenging due to the arrangement and geometry of the modules. Different cooling techniques are provided in this study to regulate the temperature of conductive panels that are arranged perpendicular to each other. The model uses two vented cavity systems and one L-shaped channel with ternary nanofluid enhanced non-uniform magnetic field. Their cooling performances and comparative results between different systems are provided. The finite element method is used to conduct a numerical analysis for a range of values of the following: the strength… More >

Abstract In low-light image enhancement, prevailing Retinex-based methods often struggle with precise illumination estimation and brightness modulation. This can result in issues such as halo artifacts, blurred edges, and diminished details in bright regions, particularly under non-uniform illumination conditions. We propose an innovative approach that refines low-light images by leveraging an in-depth awareness of local content within the image. By introducing multi-scale effective guided filtering, our method surpasses the limitations of traditional isotropic filters, such as Gaussian filters, in handling non-uniform illumination. It dynamically adjusts regularization parameters in response to local image characteristics and significantly integrates… More >

Abstract The temperature gradient between the geological formation and the injected supercritical CO₂ (Sc-CO₂) initiates heat transfer processes, leading to a non-uniform temperature field within the fracture. This spatial thermal variation induces fluctuations in the density and viscosity of Sc-CO₂. Moreover, the non-uniform density distribution of Sc-CO₂ leads to varying degrees of volume expansion or shrinkage, influencing fluid flow velocities within the fractures. This study integrates heat transfer and fluid leak-off models into the Eulerian-Eulerian two-fluid framework to systematically investigate the collective impacts of Sc-CO₂'s density, viscosity, and density-induced volumetric alterations on the proppant transport process under varied pumping… More >

Abstract High-performance finite element research has always been a major focus of finite element method studies. This article introduces isogeometric analysis into the finite element method and proposes a new isogeometric finite element method. Firstly, the physical field is approximated by uniform B-spline interpolation, while geometry is represented by non-uniform rational B-spline interpolation. By introducing a transformation matrix, elements of types C⁰ and C¹ are constructed in the isogeometric finite element method. Subsequently, the corresponding calculation formats for one-dimensional bars, beams, and two-dimensional linear elasticity in the isogeometric finite element method are derived through variational principles and… More >

Abstract Accurate simulation of the cracking process caused by rust expansion of reinforced concrete (RC) structures plays an intuitive role in revealing the corrosion-induced failure mechanism. Considering the quasi-brittle fracture of concrete, the fracture phase field driven by the compressive-shear term is constructed and added to the traditional brittle fracture phase field model. The rationality of the proposed model is verified by a mixed fracture example under a shear displacement load. Then, the extended fracture phase model is applied to simulate the corrosion-induced cracking process of RC. The cracking patterns caused by non-uniform corrosion expansion are… More >

Abstract An image can be degraded due to many environmental factors like foggy or hazy weather, low light conditions, extra light conditions etc. Image captured under the poor light conditions is generally known as non-uniform illumination image. Non-uniform illumination hides some important information present in an image during the image capture Also, it degrades the visual quality of image which generates the need for enhancement of such images. Various techniques have been present in literature for the enhancement of such type of images. In this paper, a novel architecture has been proposed for enhancement of poor… More >

Abstract A fuzzy extractor can extract an almost uniform random string from a noisy source with enough entropy such as biometric data. To reproduce an identical key from repeated readings of biometric data, the fuzzy extractor generates a helper data and a random string from biometric data and uses the helper data to reproduce the random string from the second reading. In 2013, Fuller et al. proposed a computational fuzzy extractor based on the learning with errors problem. Their construction, however, can tolerate a sub-linear fraction of errors and has an inefficient decoding algorithm, which causes the reproducing time… More >

Abstract A three-dimensional model for the numerical simulation of casing-cement behavior is used to investigate residual strength in the perforated casing of ultra deep wells. The influence of the hole diameter, hole density and phase angle on the residual strength of the casing under non-uniform stress and fracturing conditions is revealed through the consideration of different perforation parameters. It is shown that the residual strength of the casing increases with the hole diameter and periodically changes with the hole density; the phase angle is the main factor that affects the residual strength of the perforated casing, More >

Abstract An uncertainty analysis method is proposed for the assessment of the residual strength of a casing subjected to wear and non-uniform load in a deep well. The influence of casing residual stress, out-of-roundness and non-uniform load is considered. The distribution of multi-source parameters related to the residual anti extrusion strength and residual anti internal pressure strength of the casing after wear are determined using the probability theory. Considering the technical casing of X101 well in Xinjiang Oilfield as an example, it is shown that the randomness of casing wear depth, formation elastic modulus and formation More >
