Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8304: A Dynamically Adaptive Cell-Centred Lattice Boltzmann Framework for Shallow-Water Flows with Wetting and Drying
3+ week, 2+ day ago (323+ words) Solving the shallow-water equations (SWEs) using the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) can be computationally expensive on uniform grids. Here we develop a quadtree-based adaptive mesh refinement framework that preserves the Cartesian grid structure while enabling local refinement. A cell-centred data…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8874: Research on Optimization of Material Transportation Scheduling for Water Conservancy Engineering Considering Emergency Response to Vehicle Malfunctions
6+ day, 58+ min ago (453+ words) In-transit vehicle malfunctions during material transportation in water conservancy construction can cause delivery delays, disrupt subsequent tasks, and lead to duplicate material requisitions. To address these issues, this study develops a material transportation scheduling optimization model that explicitly incorporates vehicle-malfunction…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 7950: Numerical Analysis of Hydraulic Fracture Propagation Behaviors in Ultra-Deep Lattice-like Fractured Reservoirs
1+ mon, 2+ day ago (447+ words) Ultra-deep lattice-like fractured carbonate reservoirs, formed by multi-period tectonic movements, feature strong heterogeneity, multi-scale fracture nesting, and anisotropic in situ stress. However, hydraulic fracture (HF) propagation behaviors within these complex formations remain poorly understood. In this study, using an unstructured…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8081: A PRISMA-ScR-Guided Scoping Review of the Impacts of Metal Mining Waste Discharges on Coastal and Marine Environments
4+ week, 2+ day ago (428+ words) The discharge of metal-rich mining effluents and waste into marine environments represents a significant environmental challenge, with impacts extending from coastal to deep-sea ecosystems. This study presents a scoping review conducted in accordance with PRISMA-ScR guidelines to identify, classify, and…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8170: Subdivision of Carbonate Platform Developmental Stages Based on Seismic Attribute Analysis: An Example from the Indus Fan Offshore Basin
3+ week, 6+ day ago (441+ words) Carbonate formations host abundant hydrocarbon resources and constitute a key target for current and future petroleum explorations. A massive Paleocene-Eocene carbonate platform system overlies Late Cretaceous Deccan volcanic rocks within the Indus Fan Offshore Basin. Low geophysical exploration maturity and…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8845: Characterization of Geothermal Reservoir Structures Based on a Deep Generative Neural Network with Local Edge Pattern Learning
1+ week, 1+ day ago (420+ words) Accurate three-dimensional (3D) characterization of geothermal reservoirs is crucial for resource assessment and development, yet it remains a significant challenge due to sparse direct observations and the complex, heterogeneous nature of subsurface geology. While deep learning has emerged as a powerful…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8507: Mechanical Degradation and Acoustic Emission Characteristics of Sandstone Containing Intersecting Fissures Under Uniaxial Compression
2+ week, 3+ day ago (425+ words) Intersecting fissures strongly affect stress transfer and crack coalescence in rock, but their coupled effects on mechanical degradation and acoustic emission signatures remain incompletely understood. We conducted uniaxial compression tests with synchronous acoustic emission monitoring on prismatic sandstone specimens containing…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8408: Model Test on Thermo-Mechanical Behavior of Pure Friction Piles Under Cyclic Temperature
2+ week, 6+ day ago (477+ words) Frictional energy piles are a more desirable form of shallow geothermal energy utilization. A pure friction pile condition cannot be achieved in field tests. In this study, foam was placed beneath the model pile tip to weaken the end-bearing resistance....
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 7818: Target-Protected Multiscale GLRT-CUSUM Detection for Low-SNR Vector Magnetic Anomalies on Ocean Buoys
1+ mon, 1+ week ago (372+ words) Vector magnetic anomaly detection on ocean buoys is challenged by attitude changes, non-stationary backgrounds, and weak targets that adaptive filters may absorb. We propose an online target-protected framework combining attitude compensation, constant-false-alarm-rate normalized innovation squared (CFAR-NIS) threshold adaptation, target-dwell gating,…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 7985: When Tomography and Semblance Disagree: Constructing a Practical Starting Velocity Model for Shallow PSDM in Active, Fault-Bounded Intramontane Basins
1+ mon, 2+ day ago (407+ words) Pre-stack depth migration can improve imaging shallow structures in fault zones, but its use is limited by the difficulty of defining a suitable starting velocity model. This problem is relevant in small intramontane basins, where strong lateral heterogeneity, limited aperture,…...
