Field surveys in the Xisha and Zhongsha archipelagos, in the midnorthern South China Sea, show macroalgal dominance on remote reefs that were previously dominated by corals. This study was conducted to investigate the un...
Experiments were conducted to simultaneously remove NO and SO2 from simulated exhaust gas by cyclic scrubbing and online supplementing pH-buffered NaClO2 solutions in a bench-scale reactor. The effects of key operating p...

The stringent international regulations on marine emission abatement have exerted a huge push on the development of marine desulfurization and denitrification technologies. However, for the traditional vessels driven by ...
The main objective of this paper was to examine the influence of forereef bottom slope and the effects of coral degradation on the transformation of wave shapes over a fringing reef flat. Based on verification from a phy...
The 4.2 ka event that occurred during the period from 4 500-3 900 a BP was characterized by cold and dry climates and resulted in the collapse of civilizations around the world. The cause of this climatic event, however,...
Ship fouling is one of the essential factors that affect the economic benefits of the operational ships and the marine ecological environment. This will produce adverse effects such as increased energy consumption, incre...

The dynamic behaviour of an array of 6 x 6 semi-rigid "sea station" fish cages is studied under the effect of waves. The semi-rigid sea station system is discretized into a lumped mass model, that is used as the dynamic ...
ENGINEERING ANALYSIS WITH BOUNDARY ELEMENTSHuang, Ji Chu, Chi-Nan Fan, Chia-Ming Chen, Jiahn-Horng Lyu, Hongguan 出版年:2020
Nonlinear water waves are common physical phenomena in the field of coastal and ocean engineering, which plays a critical role in the investigation of hydrodynamics regarding offshore and deep-water structures. In the pr...
GLOBAL AND PLANETARY CHANGEJiang, Leilei Yu, Kefu Han, Tao Tao, Shichen Zhang, Huiling 出版年:2021
Few reconstructions of sea-surface temperature (SST) have focused on seasonal and interannual variability, two major components of the global climate system, due to the limited temporal resolution of proxies. This study ...
Effects of ethanol injection on NOx removal performance in an ozone advanced oxidation process were investigated based on a scale-up reaction system. Experimental results showed that the introduction of ethanol in simula...

This work presents a numerical study of the collective motion of two freely-swimming swimmers by a hybrid method of the deep reinforcement learning method (DRL) and the immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method (IB-LBM)...
A tautly moored floating breakwater exhibits favorable wave attenuation performance at a specific sea level, and a slackly moored floating breakwater is more adaptable to tidal variation. To bring their merits into full ...
SUSTAINABLE CITIES AND SOCIETYLu, Nan Zhu, Jiwei Tang, Zeming Zhang, Jianmei Chi, Hui 出版年:2022
Rapid economic growth has led to a surge in urban water consumption, making it imperative to reduce economic dependence on water resources to achieve sustainable urban development. This study selects Xi'an as the study a...
The commonly used acrylic frustum windows are the weakest components in the deep-sea manned cabin of the submersible. The short-term collapse test is typically required by full or scale model test, which can applied to m...
The wave-structure interaction for surface-piercing bodies is a challenging problem in both coastal and ocean engineering. In the present study, a two-dimensional numerical wave flume that is based on a newly-developed m...
