Establishing human habitat using in-situ materials on the Moon or Mars autonomously by robotic systems is of great interest to humans. In such autonomous assembly tasks, it is crucial to integrate a slip detection capability ...

The objective of this study is to investigate the evolution of surface geometry during pulsed laser surface melting (pLSM) via level-set method-based interface tracking numerical framework. Existing models to track surface ...

The flow over a bluff body with a blunt trailing edge has been extensively studied due to its relevance in underwater vehicles, such as submarines and torpedoes, where wake control is critical for optimizing stealth and ...

Meshless methods have recently gained popularity for numerically solving partial differential equations, such as those governing fluid flows, heat transfer, and species transport. They have also been employed for the linear ...

This study investigates the bubble-type vortex breakdown within the azimuthal vortices of a spherical Couette flow, where a viscous fluid is trapped between a stationary outer sphere and a rotating inner sphere. The study ...

Reverse osmosis (RO) membrane water permeability is measured under cyclic pressure loading conditions corresponding to batch and semi-batch operation modes. Due to the viscoelasticity of the membrane support layer, compaction ...

Separation into a more concentrated and a diluted stream is an energy-efficient alternative to thermal distillation for saline brine management. Here, we compare counterflow reverse osmosis (CFRO) with electrodialysis (ED) ...
