Exploring the Impact of Nanomaterials on Heat- and Mass-Transfer Properties of Carreau-Yasuda Fluid with Gyrotactic Bioconvection Peristaltic Phenomena

Hani Alahmadi, Mohammed Omar Alkinidri

Summary: This research investigates the impact of nanomaterials on the heat and mass transfer properties of fluids, focusing on exploring bioconvection phenomena. The study analyzes a Carreau-Yasuda (CY) fluid known for its shear thickening and thinning nature, considering porous medium, radiation, and viscous dissipation to analyze heat transfer rates. The velocity, temperature, and concentration of nanomaterials and gyrotactic microorganisms are analyzed through graphs. The study finds that increasing the thermophoresis parameter leads to an increase in nanomaterial concentration, while the opposite trend is observed for motile microorganisms. These findings suggest that adding nanomaterials to fluids can significantly impact heat and mass transfer properties, with potential implications for biological processes.

Theoretical method for the estimation of vapour conductivity for unsaturated soil

Qian Zhai, Weimin Ye, Harianto Rahardjo, Alfrendo Satyanaga, Guoliang Dai, Xueliang Zhao

Summary: In the high suction zone, the hydraulic conductivity of unsaturated soil may increase with an increase in soil suction, and water mainly moves in soil in the vapor form. The proposed theoretical method for estimating vapor conductivity from the soil-water characteristic curve is rational and has been validated against experimental results and published literature.

Controlling the drying characteristics of suspensions via colloidal interactions: Particle-scale modeling

Rei Tatsumi, Osamu Koike, Yukio Yamaguchi, Yoshiko Tsuji

Summary: This study investigates the influence of particle interactions on the drying characteristics of colloidal suspensions. By conducting Langevin dynamics simulations, it is found that there is a certain ionic strength in aqueous suspensions that significantly lowers the drying rate, and the decrease in drying rate is suppressed when the particles aggregate at sufficiently high ionic strength. This behavior reflects the changes in particle layer structure. The results provide insights on how to control drying characteristics through suspension composition.

Optimal convergence rates to diffusion waves for solutions of p-system with damping on quadrant

Nangao Zhang

Summary: This paper investigates the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the initial-boundary value problem for the p-system with linear damping. It is shown that the solutions to this system globally exist and asymptotically converge to a nonlinear diffusion wave, whose profile is a self-similar solution to the corresponding parabolic equation governed by the classical Darcy's law. Better convergence rates are obtained compared to the results obtained by Nishihara and Yang [15]. The proof is based on time-weighted energy estimates together with Green's function method.

A Prospective Comparative Study of Health Inequalities and the Epidemiology of Stroke in French Guiana and Dijon, France

Devi Rita Rochemont, Emmanuelle Mimeau, Caroline Misslin, Martine Papaix-Puech, Bertrand de Toffol, Nadia Sabbah, Emmanuel Delmas, Yannick Bejot, Isabelle Fournel, Mathieu Nacher

Summary: This study compared the stroke cases between French Guiana and mainland France and investigated the impact of social inequalities on strokes. The results showed that patients in French Guiana were younger, more frequently faced precarious situations, and had more severe conditions. Precarious patients, especially immigrants, had a younger age and lower mortality rate.

A justification of the Darcy law for a suspension of not self-similar solid particles non-periodically distributed

Carmen Calvo-Jurado, Juan Casado-Diaz, Manuel Luna-Laynez

Summary: In this paper, we extend the classical homogenization result to a non-periodic framework, allowing for the derivation of Darcy's law from the Stokes or Navier-Stokes system posed in a perforated domain. We study the asymptotic behavior of the stationary Stokes system in a sequence of varying domains, and show that the limit problem corresponds to a Darcy system. However, we find that certain strong convergence results and capacity formulas for the limit system do not extend from the periodic framework to the non-periodic one.

Validation of alternative methodologies by using capillarity in the determination of porosity parameters of cement-lime mortars

Markssuel T. Marvila, Afonso R. G. de Azevedo, Ruan L. S. Ferreira, Carlos Mauricio F. Vieira, Jorge de Brito, Adeyemi Adesina

Summary: This study investigated the capillary mechanisms in mortars and the porosity rate by using different cement-lime mortar compositions. The results showed a direct relationship between certain compositions and Darcy's law, which can be used to determine the percentile of capillary pores in mortars. Lime mortars, however, did not comply with Darcy's law due to their intrinsic properties.

Rayleigh-Taylor instability of classical diffusive density profiles for miscible fluids in porous media: a linear stability analysis

P. M. J. Trevelyan, A. De Wit, J. Kent

Summary: This article investigates the linear stability analysis of classical diffusive density profiles for porous media flows. It is found that the growth rate of eigenfunctions decays with time, and the maximum growing wavenumber scales with time. The analytical predictions provide a set of generalized results for the analysis of Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities of nontrivial density profiles.

Summary: Groundwater discharge is an important source of dissolved nutrients to the coastal ocean. This study estimated fresh groundwater nutrient fluxes to the coastal ocean under different Patos Lagoon water level scenarios. The nutrient availability changed along the coast depending on the water levels, with potential implications for primary productivity.

On mixing rules for the hydraulic permeability of fiber mixtures

Lydia Kolitsi, Stergios G. Yiantsios

Summary: We performed numerical simulations of Stokes flow through ordered arrays of square cross-section fibers. The study verified the permeability of single-size-fiber arrays using the effective radius of equivalent cylindrical fibers with the same cross-sectional area according to the correlation of Jackson and James. We then investigated arrays of mixtures of different-sized fibers and tested various mixing rules for estimating the composite permeability. The combination of the unweighted- and volume-averaged resistivity rules gave the best prediction by taking the geometric mean over an extended range of size ratios and relative volume fractions.

Cooling power of sea breezes and its inland penetration in dry-summer Adelaide, Australia

Yifei Zhou, Huade Guan, Saeedeh Gharib, Okke Batelaan, Craig T. Simmons

Summary: This study investigates the cooling capacity of sea breeze and its penetration distance in the metropolitan Adelaide during summer. Results show that the sea breeze front takes around 67 minutes to penetrate the city and the cooling effect decreases as it moves inland. Multiple linear regression analysis indicates that the distance from the coast and elevation at the onshore point can explain 88% of the variability of the cooling effect in the study area.
