    He Wang1,*, Ying He2

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.4, pp. 889-899, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.042728

    Abstract Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) induction pumps are contactless pumps able to withstand harsh environments. The rate of fluid flow through the pump directly affects the efficiency and stability of the device. To explore the influence of induction pump settings on the related delivery speed, in this study, a numerical model for coupled electromagnetic and flow field effects is introduced and used to simulate liquid metal lithium flow in the induction pump. The effects of current intensity, frequency, coil turns and coil winding size on the velocity of the working fluid are analyzed. It is shown that the first three parameters have a… More >

    Ran Wang1, Aimin Gong1,*, Shanqing Shao1, Baoli Qu2, Jing Xu3, Fulai Wang1, Feipeng Liu3,*

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.4, pp. 749-769, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.042566

    Abstract The mechanical properties of cementitious sand and gravel damming material have been experimentally determined by means of microscopic SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) image analysis. The results show that the combination of fly ash and water can fill the voids in cemented sand and gravel test blocks because of the presence of hydrated calcium silicate and other substances; thereby, the compactness and mechanical properties of these materials can be greatly improved. For every 10 kg/m3 increase in the amount of cementitious material, the density increases by about 2%, and the water content decreases by 0.2%. The amount of cementitious material used… More > Graphic Abstract

    Influence of Flap Parameters on the Aerodynamic Performance of a Wind-Turbine Airfoil

    Yuanjun Dai1,2, Jingan Cui1, Baohua Li1,*, Cong Wang1, Kunju Shi1

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.4, pp. 771-786, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.029584

    Abstract A numerical method has been used to analyze the flow field related to a NACA 0015 airfoil with and without a flap and assess the influence of the flap height and angle on the surface pressure coefficient, lift coefficient, and drag coefficient. The numerical results demonstrate that the flap can effectively improve the lift coefficient of the airfoil; however, at small attack angles, its influence is significantly reduced. When the angle of attack exceeds the critical stall angle and the flap height is 1.5% of the chord length, the influence of the flap becomes very evident. As the flap height… More >

    An Investigation into the Compressive Strength, Permeability and Microstructure of Quartzite-Rock-Sand Mortar

    Wei Chen*, Wuwen Liu, Yue Liang

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.4, pp. 859-872, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.029310

    Abstract River sand is an essential component used as a fine aggregate in mortar and concrete. Due to unrestrained exploitation, river sand resources are gradually being exhausted. This requires alternative solutions. This study deals with the properties of cement mortar containing different levels of manufactured sand (MS) based on quartzite, used to replace river sand. The river sand was replaced at 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% with MS (by weight or volume). The mechanical properties, transfer properties, and microstructure were examined and compared to a control group to study the impact of the replacement level. The results indicate that the compressive… More >

    On the Preparation of Low-Temperature-Rise and Low-Shrinkage Concrete Based on Phosphorus Slag

    Jianlong Jin, Jingjing Ding, Long Xiong, Ming Bao, Peng Zeng*

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.4, pp. 803-814, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.027311

    Abstract The effects of different contents of a MgO expansive agent and phosphorus slag on the mechanical properties, shrinkage behavior, and the heat of hydration of concrete were studied. The slump flow, setting time, dry shrinkage, and hydration heat were used as sensitive parameters to assess the response of the considered specimens. As shown by the results, in general, with an increase in the phosphorus slag content, the hydration heat of concrete decreases for all ages, but the early strength displays a downward trend and the dry shrinkage rate increases. The 90-d strength and dry shrinkage of concrete could be improved… More > Graphic Abstract

    The Turbulent Schmidt Number for Transient Contaminant Dispersion in a Large Ventilated Room Using a Realizable k-ε Model

    Fei Wang, Qinpeng Meng, Jinchi Zhao, Xin Wang, Yuhong Liu, Qianru Zhang*

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.4, pp. 829-846, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.026917

    Abstract Buildings with large open spaces in which chemicals are handled are often exposed to the risk of explosions. Computational fluid dynamics is a useful and convenient way to investigate contaminant dispersion in such large spaces. The turbulent Schmidt number (Sct) concept has typically been used in this regard, and most studies have adopted a default value. We studied the concentration distribution for sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) assuming different emission rates and considering the effect of Sct. Then we examined the same problem for a light gas by assuming hydrogen gas (H2) as the contaminant. When SF6 was considered as the contaminant… More >

    Revue Internationale de Géomatique, Vol.33, pp. 37-50, 2024, DOI:10.32604/rig.2024.047908

    Abstract Severe earthquakes in the world and in Turkey can cause great loss of life and property, environmental problems and health problems. In addition to the loss of life and property, earthquakes are closely related to ecosystems, air, water, and soil pollution. Particularly in post-earthquake debris removal, very large amounts of particulate matter are released and may have negative effects on the health of the local population. This study aimed to detect two types of particle matter pollution during debris removal in 25 different locations in Adiyaman City using a CEM DT 9880 particle matter measuring device in May and August… More >

    Abstract With its untameable and traceable properties, blockchain technology has been widely used in the field of data sharing. How to preserve individual privacy while enabling efficient data queries is one of the primary issues with secure data sharing. In this paper, we study verifiable keyword frequency (KF) queries with local differential privacy in blockchain. Both the numerical and the keyword attributes are present in data objects; the latter are sensitive and require privacy protection. However, prior studies in blockchain have the problem of trilemma in privacy protection and are unable to handle KF queries. We propose an efficient framework that… More >

    Shaha Al-Otaibi1, Rahim Khan2,*, Hashim Ali2, Aftab Ahmed Khan2, Amir Saeed3, Jehad Ali4,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.78, No.3, pp. 3805-3823, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.049017

    Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) is a smart networking infrastructure of physical devices, i.e., things, that are embedded with sensors, actuators, software, and other technologies, to connect and share data with the respective server module. Although IoTs are cornerstones in different application domains, the device’s authenticity, i.e., of server(s) and ordinary devices, is the most crucial issue and must be resolved on a priority basis. Therefore, various field-proven methodologies were presented to streamline the verification process of the communicating devices; however, location-aware authentication has not been reported as per our knowledge, which is a crucial metric, especially in scenarios where… More >
