Water-Polymer Perturbation Characterization and Rules of Polymer Flooding in Offshore Heavy Oilfield

Water injectors and polymer injectors coexist after well pattern infilling in some offshore oilfields, which exerts a deep impact on oil exploitation. In order to quantitatively characterize the injected water-polymer perturbation degree and analyze perturbation laws, water-polymer perturbation coefficient is proposed and established by comparing the displacement process of water-polymer coflooding and pure polymer flooding, which quantifies the dynamic change of displacement volume of injected water and polymer, and controlling strategy is discussed correspondingly to improve the development effect of water-polymer coflooding. Finally, a field case is used to demonstrate this new evaluation method. The results show that water-polymer perturbation coefficient has a good correlation with oil increasing, and water-polymer coflooding process can be divided into five stages according polymer perturbation coefficient. In addition, water-polymer coflooding has a better oil increasing effect than pure polymer flooding at the initial stage, but for a long period, development effect of pure polymer flooding is much better. The result has a great significance to quantitatively characterize water-polymer perturbation degree and make adjustment measurements.

A RANS-BEM Method to Efficiently Include Appendage Effects in RANS-Based Hull Shape Evaluation

Abstract. In this paper an approach to mimic the influence of appendages on the pressure distribution on a boat’s hull in RANS simulations is given. While, of course, the appendages could be modelled explicitly in the RANS simulation, this significantly increases the cell count and CPU-time requirements of the simulations, particularly for boats with multiple appendages. In this approach it is assumed that the pressure fields generated by the appendages can be decomposed into two parts: one related to lift (asymmetric) and one related to the displaced volume (symmetric). For these parts actuator line momentum theory is utilized, and doublet mass sources are described based on potential flow theory. An initial assessment of the approach’s capabilities and accuracy is presented based on the SYRF wide light series (Claughton, 2015), showing good promise. An application example with particular focus on the reduction of CPU-time requirement is given based on a boat fitted with canting keel and DSS foil.

Age-related morphological peculiarities of human testes.

This study aimed to compare the isolated testes size, volume, weight and density changes with age and to establish the suitability of three formulas of testicular volume calculation for 18-50 and 51-70-year-old men groups. Two hundred and six testes of 103 men (59 of 18-50-year-old and 44 of 51-70-year-old men) were weighed and their size was measured by the sliding calliper. The accurate volume was determined by water displacement and compared with volume calculated using three formulas, and the density of testicular tissues was calculated. The mean length and height of both testes and length and height of right and left testes decreased significantly with age. The mean width of both testes and width of right and left testes decreased with age insignificantly. The mean of water displacement volume and weight and volume and weight of right and left testes decreased with age significantly. The mean density of testicular tissues and the density of the right and left testes increased significantly with age. In the same age group, the size, water displacement volume and weight of right testes was insignificantly higher than that of the left ones, and the density of testicular tissues was similar in the right and left testes. The prolate spheroid formula was most suitable for calculation of testicular volume for 18-50-year-old men and prolate ellipsoid formula was most suitable for calculation of testicular volume in 51-70-year-old men.

Residence time distribution in RO channel

Residence time distribution (RTD) in a commercial Filmtec™ BW30-400 RO channel is determined using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and correlated with the Exponentially Modified Gaussian (EMG) model. The RTD, cumulative function of RTD, and flushing dynamics in RO channels are shown to be different from the analytical solutions derived for plane channels, due to the existence of spacer filaments in the former. The results for multiple channels connected in series are also acquired. The efficacy of purging after one displacement volume is estimated to be 90% for one RO element and 95% for seven RO elements connected in series.

Leaf turgor loss point shapes local and regional distributions of evergreen but not deciduous tropical trees.

Summary The effects of climate change on tropical forests will depend on how diverse tropical tree species respond to drought. Current distributions of evergreen and deciduous tree species across local and regional moisture gradients reflect their ability to tolerate drought stress, and might be explained by functional traits.We measured leaf water potential at turgor loss (i.e. ‘wilting point’; πtlp), wood density (WD) and leaf mass per area (LMA) on 50 of the most abundant tree species in central Panama. We then tested their ability to explain distributions of evergreen and deciduous species within a 50 ha plot on Barro Colorado Island and across a 70 km rainfall gradient spanning the Isthmus of Panama.Among evergreen trees, species with lower πtlp were associated with drier habitats, with πtlp explaining 28% and 32% of habitat association on local and regional scales, respectively, greatly exceeding the predictive power of WD and LMA. In contrast, πtlp did not predict habitat associations among deciduous species.Across spatial scales, πtlp is a useful indicator of habitat preference for tropical tree species that retain their leaves during periods of water stress, and holds the potential to predict vegetation responses to climate change.

Surrogate based blended-wing-body underwater glider shape optimization design

In order to improve the design quality and optimization efficiency for blended-wing-body underwater glider(BWBUG) shape design optimization problems, a surrogate-based blended-wing-body underwater glider shape optimization(SBUGSO) framework is proposed. The aim is to maximize the lift to drag ratio(LDR) of BWBUG with the constrain that the displacement volume of the optimal shape is larger than that of the initial shape. The LDR of the optimal BWBUG is improved by 24.32% with acceptable computational resources. The optimization results show that the present SBUGSO framework can efficiently decrease the computational resource, and improve the hydrodynamic performance and loading capacity of BWBUG. Comparing with the other optimization algorithms, SBUGSO framework shows the significant superiority.

Secondary organic aerosol formation from untreated exhaust of gasoline four-stroke motorcycles

This study investigates the secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation potential of carburetor motorcycles exhaust. This type of two-wheeler is a popular means of transport in many Asian cities. A volatility-based numerical model was employed to predict SOA formation from a fleet of motorcycles in Tehran, capital of Iran. The fleet was a combination of four-stroke, gasoline-powered motorcycles with different engine displacement volumes. Total hydrocarbon (THC) emission factors of all motorcycles were previously measured in a chassis dynamometer laboratory according to cold start Euro-3 emissions certification test procedures. Due to incomplete combustion and lack of control on exhaust emissions, unburned fuel was assumed to be a good surrogate for the exhaust of carburetor motorcycles, regarding SOA formation. 150 cc engine and 200 cc engine motorcycles had the highest SOA formation potential, under atmospheric oxidant concentration, while 125 cc engine motorcycles had the highest SOA emission factor (travel- and fuel-based). It was found out that SOA emission factor of 125 cc engine motorcycles could increase up to 20%, three to five years after production. Average SOA formation from carburetor motorcycles in the present study was 4 times higher than Euro-4 passenger cars and 20 times higher than direct emission of particles from Euro-2 motorcycles and on (according to EMEP/EEA levels for PM2.5 emission factors). Carburetor motorcycles with 180 cc engine volume in the present study, had the lowest SOA formation potential.

Global optimization of trimaran hull form to get minimum resistance by slender body method

In the current paper, different geometrical parameters of the trimaran hull ship are investigated to achieve the optimal points of geometry parameters. Considering the fixed displacement volume, the values of the longitudinal center of buoyancy, block coefficient, midsection coefficient as well as the side hull length and position are computed and using Lackenby shift transformation, the geometry is reconstructed during the optimization process. It is then necessary to compute the ship resistance of the reconstructed geometry which is hereby accomplished by slender body method. Subsequently, D-optimal method is used for finding the best parameters to achieving minimum resistance at cruise and sprint speeds. Two strategies are pursued to find optimum value of design variable: trimaran hull transformation and separated hull approach. Generally, a hull optimization process takes huge time and depending on the applied methodology, it might take somewhere between 6 months and 2 years. However, through slender body method and design of experiment study, proposed in this paper, the total time of global optimization process is only 1 week. Meanwhile, 9.1% resistance reduction at cruise speed and 2.24% resistance reduction at sprint speed is achieved. Hence, a successful ship hull optimization with suitable computational time and effort is the novelty of the current work. The conducted optimization indicates that two parameters of longitudinal center of buoyancy and block coefficient have significant effect on the total resistance. Comparison of the original and optimized hull signals the validity and superiority of the proposed optimization strategy, which can be extended to other maritime industrial projects.

On the optimal design of sliding rotary vane pump for heavy-duty engine cooling systems

Presently the on-the-road transportation sector is responsible of the 21% of the whole CO2 amount emitted into atmosphere. This pushes the International Governments and Organizations to provide strict limitations in terms of ICEs emissions, also introducing fees payment for the car manufacturers. The vehicle electrification allows certainly to meet these requirements, but the higher cost and the need of a green electricity still limit a widespread diffusion among all social classes. Thus, the technological improvement of internal combustion engine plays a key role in the transition period. Among these technologies, the engine thermal management allows to achieve a good compromise between the CO2 emission reduction and related costs. It was demonstrated that replacing the conventional centrifugal pump of engine cooling system with a sliding vane rotary pump (SVRP), important benefits in terms of CO2 emission reduction can be achieved as centrifugal pump efficiency decreases significantly when the engine works far from the maximum load (i.e. design point of the pump). Nevertheless, the complex thermo-fluid-dynamic phenomena taking place inside a SVRP make its design not immediate, particularly if heavy duty ICE cooling systems are considered. These applications indeed are challenging due to the wide operating range and the huge flow rates which pump must deliver. These operating requirements make difficult the choice of the main design parameters: among the different ones, the pump revolution speed and displaced volume. In the present paper a design strategy is developed for this type of pumps based on a comprehensive mathematical model of the processes occurring, predicting volumetric, indicated and mechanical efficiencies. The model was validated with a wide experimental activity so acting as virtual development platform. The results show how the best global efficiency (0.59) is achieved adopting a dual axial intake port configuration, with a suitable choice result of a trade-off between displaced volume and revolution speed. The analysis also show that the pump keeps its efficiency close to the design one for a wide operating range which is particularly suitable for the cooling of an ICE.

Characterization of Cardiac- and Respiratory-driven Cerebrospinal Fluid Motions Using a Correlation Mapping Technique Based on Asynchronous Two-dimensional Phase Contrast MR Imaging.

PurposeThe cardiac- and respiratory-driven components of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) motion characteristics and bulk flow are not yet completely understood. Therefore, the present study aimed to characterize cardiac- and respiratory-driven CSF motions in the intracranial space using delay time, CSF velocity waveform correlation, and displacement.MethodsAsynchronous two-dimensional phase-contrast at 3T was applied to measure the CSF velocity in the inferior–superior direction in a sagittal slice at the midline (N = 12) and an axial slice at the foramen magnum (N = 8). Volunteers were instructed to engage in six-second respiratory cycles. The calculated delay time and correlation coefficients of the cardiac- and respiratory-driven velocity waveforms, separated in the frequency domain, were applied to evaluate the propagation of the CSF motion. The cardiac- and respiratory-driven components of the CSF displacement and motion volume were calculated during diastole and systole, and during inhalation and exhalation, respectively. The cardiac- and respiratory-driven components of the velocity, correlation, displacement, and motion volume were compared using an independent two-sample t-test.ResultsThe ratio of the cardiac-driven CSF velocity to the sum of the cardiac- and respiratory-driven CSF velocities was higher than the equivalent respiratory-driven ratio for all cases (P < 0.01). Delay time and correlation maps demonstrated that the cardiac-driven CSF motion propagated more extensively than the respiratory-driven CSF motion. The correlation coefficient of the cardiac-driven motion was significantly higher in the prepontine(P < 0.01), the aqueduct, and the fourth ventricle (P < 0.05). The respiratory-driven displacement and motion volume were significantly greater than the cardiac-driven equivalents for all observations (P < 0.01).ConclusionThe correlation mapping technique characterized the cardiac- and respiratory-driven CSF velocities and their propagation properties in the intracranial space. Based on these findings, cardiac-driven CSF velocity is greater than respiratory-induced velocity, but the respiratory-driven velocity might displace farther.

Interpreting Dynamic Hardness: Separating Roles of Speed, Strain Rate and Shock

Mechanical hardness is classically defined as force divided by indented area. Hardness (dynamic) is alternately sometimes defined based on indentation energy absorbed normalized by displaced volume. This elementary study compares static and dynamic hardness using standard definitions. Hardness is often observed to increase with strain rate and this is commonly interpreted as strain-rate hardening by mechanisms such as dislocation drag. This analysis considers the simplest situation – ballistic indentation of an elastic-perfectly plastic material without rate dependence. Results from both Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) show a linear correlation between indenter impact speed and dynamic hardness. Extrapolating to an impact speed of 0 m/s converges to static hardness. Neither approach demonstrates indenter size dependence. High impact speeds also can introduce shock. It is suggested that speed and shock hardening effects can account for the increase in dynamic hardness with increased indenter speed without strain-rate-hardening.

The role of interface on the toughening and failure mechanisms of thermoplastic nanocomposites reinforced with nanofibrillated rubber.

The interface plays a crucial role in the physical and functional properties of polymer nanocomposites, yet its effects have not been fully recognized in the setting of classical continuum-based modeling. In the present study, we investigate the roles of interface and interfiber interactions on the toughening effects of rubber nanofibers embodied in thermoplastic-based materials. Emphasis is placed on establishing comprehensive theoretical and atomistic descriptions of the nanocomposite systems subjected to pull-out and uniaxial extension in the longitudinal and transverse directions. Using the framework of molecular dynamics, the annealed melt-drawn nanofibers were spontaneously formed via the proposed four-step methodology. The generated nanofibers were then crosslinked using the proposed robust topology-matching algorithm, through which the chemical reactions arising in the crosslinking were closely assimilated. The interfiber interactions were also examined with respect to separation distances and nanofiber radius via a nanofiber-pair atomistic scheme, and the obtained results were subsequently incorporated into the pull-out and uniaxial test simulations. The results indicate that the compatibilizer grafting results in enhanced interfacial shear strength by introducing extra chemical interactions at the interface. In particular, it was found that the compatibilizer restricts the formation and coalescence of nanovoids, resulting in enhanced toughening effects. Together, we have shown that the presence of a small amount of well-dispersed rubber nanofibrillar network whose surfaces are grafted with maleic anhydride compatibilizer can dramatically increase the toughness and alter the failure mechanisms of the nanocomposites without any deterioration in the stiffness, which is also consistent with the recent experimental observations in our lab. The interfacial failure mechanism was also investigated by monitoring the changes in the atomic concentration profiles, mean square displacement and fractional free volume. The results obtained may serve as a promising alternative for the continuum-based modeling and analysis of interfaces.

Exploration and Practice of Volume Fracturing Technology of Shale Oil in Dagang Oilfield

Based on the geological characteristics of the shale oil in the Kong 2 Member of the Cangdong Sag, Dagang Oilfield, and a large number of core experiments and numerical simulations, the displacement and single-stage liquid volume of the fracturing construction were simulated and optimized; in the stratigraphic shale and stratified mixed shale, the reverse mixing mode is adopted, that is, the gel is used for the rock-breaking seam, and then the low-concentration low-damage fracturing fluid system is used to form the complex seam net. Finally, the high-conductivity-producing area near the well is formed by the addition of sand and gel, forming a personalized horizontal well-cut volume fracturing technology in Dagang Oilfield. The application of this technology in shale oil shows that the output of horizontal well is stable after dense cutting volume fracturing, and industrial development can be realized. Microseismic and stable electric field monitoring confirmed the formation of complex network cracks, and achieved significant yield-increasing effects, providing a reference for the efficient exploration and development of China's continental shale oil.

Measurements of particulate emissions from Euro 5/6 passenger cars in different drive settings

The article presents the particulate emission measurements of passenger cars that meet the latest emission norms, the development of which has so far been dictated by requirements of downsizing. The comparison was made based on the selected vehicles equipped with spark-ignition engines, which are an example of reducing the displacement volume while maintaining the operational parameters of the drive units. Particle emissions were measured during tests in real traffic conditions. The change in the vehicle's emission category caused an increase in requirements regarding emitted particles number from these engines. As a result, the introduction of particulate filters into exhaust after-treatment systems of gasoline engines (so far only three-way catalytic converters have been used) became necessary. Comparisons of the mass and particles number and their dimensional distribution for vehicles of different ecological classes, and also engines before and after downsizing were the basis for making conclusions about the direction of changes in traditional propulsion units in modern vehicles.

Design and optimization of a bio-inspired hull shape for AUV by surrogate model technology

This paper proposes a bio-inspired hull shape (BHS) for AUV by studying and modeling the body shape of humpback whales. Among factors affecting hydrodynamic characteristics, this paper considers both the hull drag and displacement volume to optimize the BHS, which profitably improve the space utilization and voyage of the AUV. The optimization is conducted by a surrogate model using response surface methodology (RSM), during which the translational propagation Latin hypercube design (TPLHD) is adopted to obtain sampling points. In order to verify the optimization results of BHS, the drag computations for BHS and eight typical hull shapes of existing typical or bionic AUVs are performed for comparison under conditions of similar volume, wet surface area, body length and attachments. A scaled-down model of BHS with attachments is then designed, manufactured and carried out a towing tank test. The drag measured in the towing tank test is basically the same as the simulation result, with the average relative error of 3.68% at 4m/s. The result of the shape optimization performed with the RSM is effective. Furthermore, the proposed BHS is highly suitable for underwater vehicles with requirements for longer distance, higher speed or better sensor carrying capacity.

Performance evaluation and multi-objective optimization of a low-temperature CO2 heat pump water heater based on artificial neural network and new economic analysis

For the advantages of high efficiency and low impact to the environment, CO2 air source heat pump water heater (ASHPWH) is applied to produce domestic water, which also reveals good potential in cold regions. In order to boost the system performance and practicability under low ambient temperature, optimization for CO2 ASHPWH is conducted using non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II). A validated artificial neural network (ANN) predicts energy parameters for the optimization. And an economic model provides economic and environmental parameters, which considers the influence of housing price, tank volume, and on/off-peak electricity price, rarely taken into account in published studies. Then the optimizing progress is conducted under −20 °C ambient temperature and 9–65 °C water temperature, in which four optimized variables are selected: gas cooler outlet temperature (Tgc), heat rejection pressure (Pgc), compressor displacement (qvh) and water tank volume (Vwt). The final solution of Tgc = 15 °C, Pgc = 8294.1 kPa, Vwt = 0.3647 m3, qvh = 401.33 mL/s results in two objectives (CO2 emission and total annual cost) of 8599.4 kg and 1626.9 $/year, revealing advantages both in energy and economy. It is noteworthy that the cost of the space occupied by system is the fourth important factor in capital cost. These results lay solid foundation for further studies and system application.

Liquid CO 2 high‐pressure fracturing of coal seams and gas extraction engineering tests using crossing holes: A case study of Panji Coal Mine No. 3, Huainan, China

Owing to the low coal permeability coefficients and poor gas extraction efficiencies associated with the extraction of coal in the Huainan coal mining area, the aim of this study was to design, for the first time, a high-pressure low-temperature liquid CO2 (LCO2) pump for engineering tests with respect to the fracturing of coal seams and the improvement of CH4 recovery in China. To reasonably calculate the initiation pressure for the coal seam fracturing as well as the gas flow parameters, theoretical analysis with field testing were integrated in the design. In addition, considering the interim gas extraction standard, the gas extraction equivalent radius based on this standard was calculated. The test results revealed a maximum LCO2 pressure of 20.6 MPa, which surpasses the theoretical maximum pressure (19.5 MPa) required for the fracturing of coal seams. During the entire gas extraction process, the CO2 concentrations in boreholes K1 and K3 decrease exponentially with time, showing attenuation coefficients of 0.0205 and 0.0231, respectively. The attenuation coefficients of the three attenuation stages of the original coal seam gas flow rate were 0.0314, 0.2142, and 0.1198, which were higher than those corresponding to the test area. The CH4 concentration in boreholes K1 and K3 in the test area were both higher than that in the original coal seam, and the maximum CH4 flow rates in these boreholes were 1.31- and 1.72-fold higher than that in the original coal seam, respectively. The comparative analysis of CH4 concentrations and flow rates indirectly showed an improvement in the permeability of the coal seam. Further, a quantitative equivalent gas extraction evaluation method based on LCO2 fracturing of coal seam and gas displacement was proposed. Furthermore, based on a comprehensive evaluation, the effective displacement radius caused by the LCO2 fracturing test was 9 m, with a displacement efficiency of 23.95%, and a displacement volume ratio of 0.21. This method offered the possibility of realizing the quantitative evaluation of the LCO2 injection amount and the gas extraction effect, and provides a basis for optimizing the LCO2 fracturing of coal seams as well as the gas extraction process.

Surgical indication analysis according to bony defect size in pediatric orbital wall fractures.

BackgroundOrbital fractures are the most common pediatric facial fractures. Treatment is conservative due to the anatomical differences that make children more resilient to severe displacement or orbital volume change than adults. Although rarely, extensive fractures may result in enophthalmos, causing cosmetic problems. We aimed to establish criteria for extensive fractures that may result in enophthalmos.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the charts of patients aged 0–15 years diagnosed with orbital fractures in our hospital from January 2010 to February 2019. Computed tomography images were used to classify the fractures into linear, trapdoor, and open-door types, and to estimate the defect size. Data on enophthalmos severity (Hertel exophthalmometry results) and fracture pattern and size at the time of injury were obtained from patients who did not undergo surgery during the follow-up and were used to identify the surgical indications for pediatric orbital fractures.ResultsA total of 305 pediatric patients with pure orbital fractures were included–257 males (84.3%), 48 females (15.7%); mean age, 12.01± 2.99 years. The defect size (p= 0.002) and fracture type (p= 0.017) were identified as the variables affecting the enophthalmometric difference between the eyes of non-operated patients. In the linear regression analysis, the variable affecting the fracture size was open-door type fracture (p< 0.001). Pearson’s correlation analysis demonstrated a positive correlation between the enophthalmometric difference and the bony defect size (p= 0.003). Using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, a cutoff value of 1.81 cm2 was obtained (sensitivity, 0.543; specificity, 0.724; p= 0.002).ConclusionThe incidence of enophthalmos in pediatric pure orbital fractures was found to increase with fracture size, with an even higher incidence when open-door type fracture was a cofactor. In clinical settings, pediatric orbital fractures larger than 1.81 cm2 may be considered as extensive fractures that can result in enophthalmos and consequent cosmetic problems.

Characterization of a pulsatile rotary total artificial heart.

This article describes the properties and performance of a rotary total artificial heart (TAH) that produces inherently pulsatile flow. The hydraulic performance of the TAH was characterized using a mock circulatory loop to simulate four physiologically relevant conditions: baseline flow, increased flow, systemic hypertension, and pulmonary hypertension. The pump has a variable shuttle rate (beats per minute), percentage dwell time, and angular velocity on either side (revolutions per minute), which allows for full control of the flow rate and pulsatility over a range of healthy and pathologic pressures and flow rates. The end-to-end length and displacement volume of the TAH are 9.8cm and 130mL, respectively, allowing it to fit in smaller chest cavities including those of smaller adults and juvenile humans.

Linked 3-D modelling of megathrust earthquake-tsunami events: from subduction to tsunami run up

SUMMARYHow does megathrust earthquake rupture govern tsunami behaviour? Recent modelling advances permit evaluation of the influence of 3-D earthquake dynamics on tsunami genesis, propagation, and coastal inundation. Here, we present and explore a virtual laboratory in which the tsunami source arises from 3-D coseismic seafloor displacements generated by a dynamic earthquake rupture model. This is achieved by linking open-source earthquake and tsunami computational models that follow discontinuous Galerkin schemes and are facilitated by highly optimized parallel algorithms and software. We present three scenarios demonstrating the flexibility and capabilities of linked modelling. In the first two scenarios, we use a dynamic earthquake source including time-dependent spontaneous failure along a 3-D planar fault surrounded by homogeneous rock and depth-dependent, near-lithostatic stresses. We investigate how slip to the trench influences tsunami behaviour by simulating one blind and one surface-breaching rupture. The blind rupture scenario exhibits distinct earthquake characteristics (lower slip, shorter rupture duration, lower stress drop, lower rupture speed), but the tsunami is similar to that from the surface-breaching rupture in run-up and length of impacted coastline. The higher tsunami-generating efficiency of the blind rupture may explain how there are differences in earthquake characteristics between the scenarios, but similarities in tsunami inundation patterns. However, the lower seafloor displacements in the blind rupture result in a smaller displaced volume of water leading to a narrower inundation corridor inland from the coast and a 15 per cent smaller inundation area overall. In the third scenario, the 3-D earthquake model is initialized using a seismo-thermo-mechanical geodynamic model simulating both subduction dynamics and seismic cycles. This ensures that the curved fault geometry, heterogeneous stresses and strength and material structure are consistent with each other and with millions of years of modelled deformation in the subduction channel. These conditions lead to a realistic rupture in terms of velocity and stress drop that is blind, but efficiently generates a tsunami. In all scenarios, comparison with the tsunamis sourced by the time-dependent seafloor displacements, using only the time-independent displacements alters tsunami temporal behaviour, resulting in later tsunami arrival at the coast, but faster coastal inundation. In the scenarios with the surface-breaching and subduction-initialized earthquakes, using the time-independent displacements also overpredicts run-up. In the future, the here presented scenarios may be useful for comparison of alternative dynamic earthquake-tsunami modelling approaches or linking choices, and can be readily developed into more complex applications to study how earthquake source dynamics influence tsunami genesis, propagation and inundation.
