Air-core vortices are a ubiquitous phenomenon in the intakes of hydropower stations. Due to
the transient and instability of two-phase vorticial flow, the prediction of air-core vortex …

Transient (highly unsteady) air–water two-phase flows and spring-like geysers have been
one of the critical concerns in drainage pipeline systems, which may cause or exacerbate …

The storm surges caused by tropical cyclones may lead to overtopping floods in low-lying
coastal communities, which will be further exacerbated by sea level rise. In this study, a …

Tangential intake structures with vertical dropshafts are commonly employed in stormwater
and urban drainage systems. Vortex and plunging flows are the two typical flow patterns …

Vertical dropshafts with tangential intake structures are often used in urban drainage
systems to route surface flow into underground systems. Vortex flow driven by a tangential …

An isolated liquid slug in the pipeline can accelerate and achieve a high speed when
subjected to a driving pressure. During the slug's high-speed movement in a pipeline, part of …

When installed in deep tunnel systems, the cover of the vortex dropshaft may be partially or
fully sealed. With air exchange restricted through the cover, the air supply to the dropshaft …

Intake structures are commonly used in drainage systems to redirect surface rainfall runoff
into underground tunnels. The Hong Kong West Drainage Tunnel (HKWDT) system is …

The pressure surge at the moment of blasting seriously threatens the safety of pipeline
structures and other buildings. This article established two numerical simulation models of …

At present, to reduce the energy consumption of buildings and thereby decrease carbon
emissions, the research on the internal flow mechanism of local components represented by …
