Article Abstract
A high-sensitivity hot-wire anemometer is proposed for use with a cobalt-doped fiber (CDF) based long-period grating (LPG) heated optically by a 1480 nm laser. The CDF-LPG absorbs laser power and generates heat inherently, thereby eliminating the need for both metal coating and mode coupling devices that are usually required in optical fiber grating anemometers. The dip wavelength of the CDF-LPG shifts with airflow velocity due to the cooling effect of the airflow. Airflow velocity is therefore measured by detecting the wavelength shift of the CDF-LPG. The measurement sensitivity is significantly enhanced by the high-temperature sensitivity of the LPG. In the experiment, high sensitivity up to -8.70 nm/(m/s) is achieved at an airflow velocity of 0.1 m/s, which is several times higher than that of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) based anemometers. The measurement range is 0-8.0 m/s. The response and recovery time are 0.4 and 0.3 seconds, respectively. The scheme of inscribing LPG on the CDF not only simplifies the production of hot-wire anemometers but also greatly improves the measurement sensitivity, making it a promising solution for high-precision airflow velocity measurement in practical applications.

Pneumatic booms offer distinct advantages over traditional structural barriers: not affecting the local vessel navigation and hydrological environment, enhanced mobility and maneuverability, etc. However, their oil interception performance remains insufficiently understood especially for the area-source ones. This study employs a well-validated numerical model based on the coupled VOF and DPM framework, to systematically investigate the plume evolution and oil containment efficiency of near-surface area-source bubble curtains under various aquatic scenarios.

Background And Objective: During exhalation, complex geometry in the larynx generates the pharyngeal jet, where higher velocity air is directed to the rear of the airway, influencing airflow downstream in the nasal passage. This study investigates the impact of boundary condition settings on the accuracy of airflow simulations in truncated airway geometries during exhalation, focusing on the nasopharynx and nasal passage. In addition to traditional inlet profiles, we tested a new method of remapping a profile from a complete airway to a truncated airway.

A miniaturised bionic electronic nose system was developed to solve the problems of expensive equipment and long response time for soil pesticide residue detection. The structure of the bionic electronic nasal cavity is designed based on the spatial structure and olfactory principle of the sturgeon nasal cavity. Through experimental study, the structure of the nasal cavity of the sturgeon was extracted and analyzed.

Background And Objective: Atmospheric aerosols from different industrial and natural sources enter the airways during inhalation. The smaller respirable aerosols enter the alveolar sacs and, depending on the residence time and toxicity, create severe respiratory health hazards. The physiological movement of the alveolar sacs is an important feature of breathing dynamics.
