NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION ON LOCAL SCOUR AND FLOW FIELD AROUND THE BRIDGE PIER UNDER PROTECTION OF PERFORATED BAFFLE AND RING-WING PLATE

Numerical Investigation on Local Scour and Flow Field around the Bridge Pier under Protection of Perforated Baffle and Ring-Wing Plate

In this paper, a series of numerical experiments are carried out on the anti-scour device combined with perforated baffle and ring-wing plate.In addition, the optimal dimensions and location of the combined device are obtained: The perforated ratio of the baffle is S = 20%, the distance from the center of the bridge pier is L = 2d (d is the diamete

Effect of stem rot on wood basic density, carbon, and nitrogen content of living deciduous trees in hemiboreal forests

While numerous studies have focused on analyzing various aspects of the carbon (C) budget in forests, there appears to be a lack of comprehensive assessments specifically addressing the impact of stem rot on the C budget of broadleaf tree species, especially in old-growth Eyeliner forests where stem rot is prevalent.One of the main challenges in ac
