Achieving automated and high-precision in situ analysis of the dimensional accuracy and dynamic deformation of 3D-printed surgical templates: an in vitro study

PurposeTo demonstrate the viability of a coordinate-measuring machine (CMM) for the geometric analysis of 3D printed surgical templates.MethodsThe template was designed and modified by adding 18 cylindrical landmarks for CMM test and then classified into five groups according to the slicing software and resins (opaque and transparent): Streamflow-O, Streamflow-T, Shapeware-T, Rayware-T and Polydevs-T (N = 3). Three standing times (0 w, 1 w, and 2 w) were included to observe possible deformation. All the measurements were performed automatically by the CMM through a preset program. The Euclidian distance (dxyz) was regarded as the representation of global dimension accuracy, and displacements in the x-, y-, and z-axes were also calculated.ResultsThe average dxyz values of Streamflow-O, Streamflow-T, Shapeware-T, Rayware-T and Polydev-T are 32.6 μm, 31.3 μm, 56.4 μm, 96.4 μm, and 55.3 μm, respectively. Deviations were mainly induced by the upward bending of the free end region (positive direction of the z-axis). Different resins did not have a significant influence on the dimensional accuracy. Moreover, deformation appeared to be negligible after 2 weeks of storage, and the z-axis displacements were only approximately 30 μm at week 1 and 10 μm at week 2.ConclusionsThe deviations of the DLP-printed template are induced mainly by z-axis displacements and are determined by the processing accuracy. After 2 weeks, the dimensional stabilities of these templates are reliable, which is encouraging for clinicians. Moreover, the CMM is preliminarily demonstrated to be a feasible tool for achieving automated geometric analysis of surgical templates.

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY IN STEADY-STATE FOR DETERMINING THE COEFFICIENT OF EXTERNAL HEAT TRANSFER ON THE OUTER WALL OF ROTATING TUBES DURING THE QUENCHING PROCESS BY IMMERSION IN WATER TANK

The quenching process by immersion is one of the steel tube industry’s most commonly used heat treatment processes. For mathematical models to be reliably used as tools capable of simulating different geometries and cooling mechanisms, knowledge of the heat transfer coefficient between the surface of the tube and the water is essential. The present work’s primary objective is the experimental determination of the heat transfer coefficient between the external surface of the tube and the water. For this purpose, an experimental apparatus capable of representing the conditions of a real process was built. The predominant heat transfer regime in the single-phase region was mixed convection for the conditions tested. Two correlations were proposed to represent the data obtained for this region. Based on existing correlations in the literature, the first one returned a mean absolute error of 13.97%. The second one was proposed based on an optimization tool, returning a mean absolute error of 6.29%. Concerning the two-phase region, the obtained data characterized a transition regime and the beginning of the nucleated boiling. In this region, it was possible to observe that the effect of increasing rotation on the external heat transfer coefficient decreases with increasing tube surface temperature, which follows studies in the literature. The repeatability test shows that the apparatus could replicate the heat transfer coefficient values for the free convection region, staying within the range of uncertainties. However, for the boiling region, the data showed more significant disagreement. This behavior is mainly due to the difficulty of keeping the surface under the same conditions, which have greatly influenced the formation of bubbles and heat transfer.

Densification mechanism and structural transformation in glass: molecular dynamic simulation

The structure of GeO2 glass is investigated via molecular dynamic simulation. The influence of pressure to the structure of GeO2 glass is due to the change of short-range order, network structure, domain structure and free volume regions. The obtained results show that the structure of GeO2 was formed by a continuous random network of basic structural units linking to each other via with corner-sharing, edge-sharing, face-sharing bond. At low pressure, the basic structural units are mainly linked via one bridge oxygen (the corner sharing bonds). As pressure increases, the fraction of edge sharing bonds (two bridge oxygen) increases meanwhile the fraction of corner sharing bonds significantly decrease. There is a slight increase with the fraction of face- sharing bonds (three bridge oxygen). The Ge-O bond distance is almost not dependent on pressure, meanwhile the Ge-Ge and O-O bond distances are significantly dependent on pressure. Under compression, the average coordination number of Ge tends to increase from fourfold (at ambient pressure) to six-fold (at high pressure). Moreover, structure of GeO2 glass has two-domain near 15 and 25 GPa. And at ambient pressure or high pressures, the struture of GeO2 glass has single domain. The dependence of the distribution of free volumes on pressure in GeO2 glass has been examined. The distribution of void radius has the Gaussian form and the position of the peak tend to shift to the left under compression.

The 3D Crustal Structure of the Wilkes Subglacial Basin, East Antarctica, Using Variation of Information Joint Inversion of Gravity and Magnetic Data

AbstractDirect geological information in Antarctica is limited to ice free regions along the coast, high mountain ranges, or isolated nunataks. Therefore, indirect methods are required to reveal subglacial geology and heterogeneities in crustal properties, which are critical steps toward interpreting geological history. We present a 3D crustal model of density and susceptibility distribution in the Wilkes Subglacial Basin (WSB) and the Transantarctic Mountains (TAM) based on joint inversion of airborne gravity and magnetic data. The applied “variation of information” technique enforces a coupling between inferred susceptibility and density, relating these quantities to the same gravity and magnetic sources to give an enhanced inversion result. Our model reveals a large body located in the interior of the WSB interpreted as a batholithic intrusive structure, as well as a linear dense body at the margin of the Terre Adélie Craton. Density and susceptibility relationships are used to inform the interpretation of petrophysical properties and the reconstruction of the origin of those crustal bodies. The petrophysical relationship indicates that the postulated batholitic intrusion is granitic, but independent from the Granite Harbor Igneous Complex described previously in the TAM area. Emplacement of a large volume of intrusive granites can potentially elevate local geothermal heat flow significantly. Finally, we present a new conceptual tectonic model based on the inversion results, which includes development of a passive continental margin with seaward dipping basalt horizons and magmatic underplating followed by two distinct intrusive events associated with the protracted Ross Orogen.

Scrutiny of pseudoplastic nanofluid flow under the influence of magnetic hydrodynamics with chemical reaction across the cylinder with slip boundary condition

Buoyantly induced flows possess diversified utilizations in numerous engineering processes for instance, reactor cooling through passive strategy, LED lights, pipes manufacturing, ship funnel and many more. Galvanized sheets sticked to form a hollow cylinder is used for fast cooling in naval ship and chimney of steam power plant. In view of such mesmerizing significance of flow and thermal attributes of fluid over vertical cylinder, current effort is articulated. For this purpose, Williamson fluid model is accounted and nanoparticles are also induced to envision advanced thermal features in the flow over vertically oriented cylinder. Physical effectiveness of magnetic field implications and chemical reactive species are entertained to notice change in hydrothermal and mass fields. Slip boundary constraint along with stagnant flow at the surface of cylinder is considered to inspect behavior in free stream region. The fundamental governing equations of problem are attained in the sense of PDEs by utilizing the concept of boundary layer approximation and converted into coupled nonlinear ODEs by substituting specific similar variables. Numerically the resulting ODEs are resolved by making the use of bvp4c built in MATLAB routine, the outcomes are attained and arranged in graphical and tabular manner. The influence of pertinent flow parameters such as (0.1 ≤ We ≤ 1.0), (1.0 ≤ M ≤ 3.0), (1.0 ≤ Pr ≤ 11), thermophoresis parameter (0.5 ≤ Tp ≤ 4.5), (1.0 ≤ Bp ≤ 5.0), (0.05 ≤ Nr ≤ 0.7), and (0.5 ≤ Kc ≤ 5.0) are examined on the momentum, thermal and concentration distributions. It is manifested that the velocity distribution depreciates by uplifting magnetic field strength. Increment in magnitude of wall drag and convective heat transfer is perceived by enhancing Prandtl number. It is inferred that friction coefficient in absolute sense and heat flux coefficient tends to exceed against elevation in (We). From comprehensive analysis, declination in velocity and thermal field is depicted versus Reynold number whereas, contrary aspects are visualized in concentration. Enhancement in the value of surface drag and thermal flux is revealed versus (Re).

Determination of critical pressure in the free molecular region and performance analysis of vacuum glass-covered flat plate collector under typical days

Abstract The pressure of the gas in the interlayer of the vacuum glass-covered flat plate collector (VGFC) is critical in evaluating its performance. Even though the gas in the interlayer under high vacuum conditions is in the free molecular region, the critical pressure is also influenced by external environmental parameters. In this paper, based on the theory of heat transfer of rarefied gas in the free molecular region and the principle of energy balance, a mathematical-physical model of VGFC was established and validated under two typical days’ meteorological parameters of the spring equinox and the summer solstice. The results show that, compared with the spring equinox day, on the summer solstice day, the critical pressure of the interlayer gas under the free molecular region is notably higher and exhibits greater fluctuations. Specifically, the minimum and maximum critical pressures of the gas increased by 7.88% and 16.2%, respectively. Additionally, the heat loss coefficient of the top of the VGFC is also significantly higher than on the spring equinox day, with an increase of 6.58%.

Well-posedness of the stationary and slowly traveling wave problems for the free boundary incompressible Navier-Stokes equations

We establish that solitary stationary waves in three dimensional viscous incompressible fluids are a general phenomenon and that every such solution is a vanishing wave-speed limit along a one parameter family of traveling waves. The setting of our result is a horizontally-infinite fluid of finite depth with a flat, rigid bottom and a free boundary top. A constant gravitational field acts normal to bottom, and the free boundary experiences surface tension. In addition to these gravity-capillary effects, we allow for applied stress tensors to act on the free surface region and applied forces to act in the bulk. These are posited to be in either stationary or traveling form.In the absence of any applied stress or force, the system reverts to a quiescent equilibrium; in contrast, when such sources of stress or force are present, stationary or traveling waves are generated. We develop a small data well-posedness theory for this problem by proving that there exists a neighborhood of the origin in stress, force, and wave speed data-space in which we obtain the existence and uniqueness of stationary and traveling wave solutions that depend continuously on the stress-force data, wave speed, and other physical parameters. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first proof of well-posedness of the solitary stationary wave problem and the first continuous embedding of the stationary wave problem into the traveling wave problem. Our techniques are based on vector-valued harmonic analysis, a novel method of indirect symbol calculus, and the implicit function theorem.

Turbulence and sediment deposition in a channel with floating vegetation

Floating canopies of vegetation alter the vertical profile of flow velocity within and below canopies, which in turn impacts sediment deposition below canopies. This study explored the impacts of channel-average velocity (U0), vegetation density (a), and relative flow depth (hg/H, where hg is the height of the free flow region below the floating canopy and H is the entire flow depth) on the longitudinal distributions of near-bed turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) and sediment deposition in a channel with a floating vegetation canopy. Below a floating canopy, sediment deposition was correlated with the near-bed TKE. For the low-density and low-velocity cases, sediment deposition was spatially uniform across the entire channel because the near-bed TKE was lower than the critical value for sediment resuspension. As the vegetation density and channel-average velocity increased, the near-bed TKE increased and surpassed the critical TKE, which caused resuspension and reduced deposition below the canopy relative to the upstream reference. For the same vegetation density and channel-average velocity, a lower relative flow depth (hg/H) produced a higher below-canopy depth-averaged velocity and near-bed TKE, resulting in less deposition below the canopy. A model was proposed for predicting the longitudinal evolution of near-bed TKE based on the predicted flow velocity below the canopy throughout the channel. The longitudinal evolution of deposition below a floating canopy was predicted by combining the predicted near-bed TKE with the deposition probability. The predicted near-bed TKE and deposition matched laboratory measurements. Finally, the proposed model can be used to predict the longitudinal profile of deposition below a real Eichhornia crassipes canopy.

Theoretical study on the luminescence mechanism of AIEgens based HOFs adsorbing small molecules

The diversity and reversibility of non-covalent interactions give hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) excellent gas adsorption and separation performance. Here we designed and synthesized HOFs based on aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) to visualize the adsorption process of HOFs. We focused on the SQ system and its solvated SQ frameworks by different solvent conditions, employing the thermal vibration correlation function rate formalism coupled hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics protocol, to elucidate the relation between crystal structure and luminescent properties, as well as the specific adsorption ability of porous SQ HOF crystals on acetylene gas. It is found that compare to SQ crystal, the SQ symmetry in cocrystals are improved, and SQ-DCM cocrystal has the best symmetry. The absorption spectra of five SQ-based crystals are close to each other, and their emission spectra blueshifted from 540 nm of SQ, to 509 nm, 508 nm, 507 nm of SQ-EA, SQ-ACN, SQ-DCM, and then to 495 nm of SQ-TOL, consistent with experimental results. The kic of solvated cocrystals are about 1∼2 orders of magnitude smaller than that of non-solvated crystal SQ, resulting in significantly higher Φexp of solvated cocrystals than that of un-solvated one. DCM with small volume and C2v point group is more suitable for SQ crystal channel, indicating that small free region and shape matching are the key factors affecting the reversibility of crystallization of porous frames during solvent transport. Finally, the volume of the adsorbed gas C2H2 which is close to DCM, is more easily adsorbed by SQ framework. Our study offers theoretical insights into the design of porous crystals for gas adsorption and separation applications.

The Comparative Study Between the Grid Size of Image Frame Using Image Subtraction and Pixel Expansion Cue for Free Obstacle Region Detection

This research investigates optimizing grid sizes for obstacle detection in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) using vision-based approaches. There were many proper computer visions algorithm that can be used to detect free obstacle region. One of it is by using grid-based approach. By dividing the image that taken by camera, the algorithm can choose the best path to go through.This study willexplore various grid sizes, from 3x4 to 24x32, to determine their effectiveness in detecting free obstacle regions in different environments. The methodology combines image subtraction, pixel expansion cues, and k-means segmentation, with images resized to 640x360 pixels and processed to display only two colors for simplification. The experiments, conducted using an iPhone 12 camera and analyzed with Spyder software and OpenCV, reveal that larger grids are more accurate in complex environments, albeit with higher computational time, whereas smaller grids are more efficient in simpler settings. The research identifies a grid size range of 12x16 to 16x24 as a balanced solution for various scenarios, highlighting the need for adaptive sizing and sophisticated algorithms in UAV obstacle detection.

Pressure-robust finite element scheme for the time-dependent fully coupled Stokes–Darcy-transport problem

We present a pressure-robust mixed finite element scheme for the time-dependent fully coupled Stokes–Darcy-transport problem. The P1c⊕RT0 discretization and Raviart–Thomas mixed elements are used to discretize the velocity in the free flow region and the porous medium region, respectively. We approximate the pressure with piecewise constant finite elements and the concentration with piecewise linear finite elements. We perform a divergence-free reconstruction of the velocity in the Stokes domain. Our scheme preserves local mass conservation in the sense of projection and has pressure-robust property. The stability and error analysis of the method are obtained. The errors of velocity and concentration are independent of pressure, and our method works well even with small viscosity. The theoretical results are validated with numerical examples.

Understanding the Quad’s Climate Diplomacy in the Indo-Pacific Region

The Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (popularly known as Quad) emphasizes building a free, open, inclusive, secure, stable and resilient Indo-Pacific region. For this, it adopts an action-oriented practical approach to provide holistic security for all types of vulnerabilities, risks and threats. The region is vulnerable to various climate change impacts, including sea-level rise, floods and droughts, heatwaves and typhoons or cyclones. To strengthen climate security, the Quad set up a Working Group on Climate Change and launched practical joint climate action, namely ‘The Quad Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Package’ (Q-CHAMP), which equally focuses on mitigation and adaptation/resilience aspects of climate action in the region. It also stressed making climate diplomatic efforts with other countries and regional organizations like ASEAN to set up mechanisms for joint climate action to address climate change effectively. Against this backdrop, this article aims to discuss joint climate initiatives taken by the Quad under its climate diplomacy to address climate change in the Indo-Pacific region. This study has also addressed a fundamental question: To what extent does climate diplomacy make the Quad an appropriate strategic platform that provides a suitable political environment for cooperation, negotiation and dialogue to address complex security issues in the post-Cold War era? This qualitative study has been completed based on a textual analysis of the data relating to the Quad’s joint climate action. The article argues that as a minilateral cooperative platform, the Quad’s joint climate action in the form of a Climate Working Group and the Q-CHAMP would be able to mitigate greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions and build the adaptive capability of communities to adapt to the various climate change impacts, as well as contribute to establishing a secure, stable and resilient region along with a noticeable contribution to meeting the objectives of the Paris Agreement at the global level.

Controlling electrothermal behavior of Metal–Carbon hybrid wire in free molecular flow region

We investigated the heat loss of the metal wire to the gases in the free molecular region, whose pressure is below 10−3 Pa. The heat transfer characteristics at the interface between the metal surface and the gases are only accessible when the conductional heat loss along the wire is comparable to or less than 100 nW/K. Unfortunately, such an infinitesimal heat flow is not controllable from typical metal wire. For this reason, we have synthesized a new material, metal-carbon hybrid wire (MCHW). In the free molecular flow region, the resistance of MCHW is inversely proportional to the pressure (P), R∼1/P, regardless of gas species, which contradicts the gas-dependent heat loss theory. At a pressure <1 × 10−4 Pa, we observe a deviation from reciprocal linearity attributed to a growing radiational heat loss. Our results realize the thermal conductive sensing of the pressure below 10−5 Pa, which has been unprecedented.

Dynamical analysis of a novel memristor-type chaotic map

As a unique nonlinear component, the discrete memristor, with its simple structure, is associated with the ability to lead to excellent chaotic performance in the construction of chaotic systems. This characteristic has elevated the discrete memristor to a hot topic in the field of chaos. This paper introduces a cosine hyperchaotic map. Numerical simulations reveal its rich dynamical behaviors. The chaotic map exhibits diverse chaotic control models, including partial amplitude control, total amplitude control, initial boosting, and parameter-offset boosting, with dynamical distribution diagrams plotted for amplitude control to quantify the range of amplitude modulation. Additionally, a localized boosting free region is identified, which exhibits extreme sensitivity to initial values. Dual offset parameters are introduced to control this localized boosting free region, enhancing the flexibility of the system. Finally, the map is implemented on STM32 to validate the numerical simulation results.

Porous structures impact on particle dynamics of non-Brownian and noncolloidal suspensions

This study aims to provide valuable insights into the impact of porous structures on particle dynamics in non-Brownian, non-colloidal suspension flows at very low Reynolds numbers. Two experimental approaches, Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) with refractive index matching and Optical Flow Tracking Velocimetry (OFTV) were employed to analyze very dilute suspensions over various porous media models. The study considered three different porous structures with permeabilities ranging from 0.7 to 0.9 and three different thicknesses ranging from 0.2 cm to 0.5 cm, while the suspension bulk volume fraction was maintained at 3 %. In the PIV analysis, we observed that decreasing the porous permeability resulted in the maximum velocity location within the free flow region moving closer towards the interface between the flow and the porous media. We further quantified the effect of the porous structure on the suspension by characterizing interface properties, such as dimensionless slip velocity, shear rate, and slip length. These interface properties were found to be influenced by both the thickness and permeability of the porous media. Next, we analyzed particle migration due to the presence of porous structures using OFTV for very dilute suspensions of 1 %, 2 %, and 3 %, considering a porous medium with known physical properties and thickness. The study revealed two local concentration maxima: one within the free flow region on top of the rod arrays used to create the porous structure and a second along the rods' centerline inside the porous media model.

Time-resolved tomographic particle image velocimetry of flow structures in non-circular orifice impinging jets

In this study, time-resolved tomographic particle image velocimetry (Tomo-PIV) was implemented on two different non-circular orifice impinging jets, i.e., elliptical and square orifices, and the circular one was employed as a reference for comparison, with the same equivalent diameter De=20 mm, impinging distance-to-diameter H/D = 3.0, and the Reynolds number (Re) at 1.6×103. A particular concern was placed on examining the coherent structure dynamics and turbulence dissipation of these impinging jets. The dominant Strouhal number (St) of all three jets has the component of 0.53, representing the large-scale Kelvin–Helmholtz (K–H) vortex ring, particularly for the square orifice, the dominant St is 0.70 at the central axis and 0.18 at the diagonal axis near the impinging surface. In free jet region, the streamwise velocity profile of the square orifice jet always maintains a rhombic development with a 45° difference relative to the outlet shape. In the impingement region, the circular orifice jet has the strongest K–H structure, with two opposite wall jets generated inside and outside, while in elliptical jet impinging, the upturned short axis of the vortex ring after axis-switching invariably contacts the impinging surface first, and then the wall jet vortex ring re-stretches to a circular shape due to the higher velocity of the wall jets generated from the upturned short axis, and the square orifice impinging jet contains no obvious wall K–H vortex rings but undergoes an irregular merging with the vortex ring downstream and stagnation. The time-averaged flow field statistics show that the circular orifice impinging jets have stronger wall jets, while the square orifice is the weakest, due to the strongest turbulent dissipation generated by the more fragmented flow upstream.

Amphibian tolerance to arsenic: microbiome-mediated insights

Amphibians are often recognized as bioindicators of healthy ecosystems. The persistence of amphibian populations in heavily contaminated environments provides an excellent opportunity to investigate rapid vertebrate adaptations to harmful contaminants. Using a combination of culture-based challenge assays and a skin permeability assay, we tested whether the skin-associated microbiota may confer adaptive tolerance to tropical amphibians in regions heavily contaminated with arsenic, thus supporting the adaptive microbiome principle and immune interactions of the amphibian mucus. At lower arsenic concentrations (1 and 5 mM As3+), we found a significantly higher number of bacterial isolates tolerant to arsenic from amphibians sampled at an arsenic contaminated region (TES) than from amphibians sampled at an arsenic free region (JN). Strikingly, none of the bacterial isolates from our arsenic free region tolerated high concentrations of arsenic. In our skin permeability experiment, where we tested whether a subset of arsenic-tolerant bacterial isolates could reduce skin permeability to arsenic, we found that isolates known to tolerate high concentrations of arsenic significantly reduced amphibian skin permeability to this metalloid. This pattern did not hold true for bacterial isolates with low arsenic tolerance. Our results describe a pattern of environmental selection of arsenic-tolerant skin bacteria capable of protecting amphibians from intoxication, which helps explain the persistence of amphibian populations in water bodies heavily contaminated with arsenic.

Quantitative analysis of lung lesions using unenhanced chest computed tomography images.

Chest radiograph and computed tomography (CT) scans can accidentally reveal pulmonary nodules. Malignant and benign pulmonary nodules can be difficult to distinguish without specific imaging features, such as calcification, necrosis, and contrast enhancement. However, these lesions may exhibit different image texture characteristics which cannot be assessed visually. Thus, a computer-assisted quantitative method like histogram analysis (HA) of Hounsfield unit (HU) values can improve diagnostic accuracy, reducing the need for invasive biopsy. In this exploratory control study, nonenhanced chest CT images of 20 patients with benign (10) and cancerous (10) lesion were selected retrospectively. The appearances of benign and malignant lesions were very similar in chest CT images, and only pathology report was used to discriminate them. Free hand region of interest (ROI) was inserted inside the lesion for all slices of each lesion. Mean, minimum, maximum, and standard deviations of HU values were recorded and used to make HA. HA showed that the most malignant lesions have a mean HU value between 30 and 50, a maximum HU less than 150, and a minimum HU between -30 and 20. Lesions outside these ranges were mostly benign. Quantitative CT analysis may differentiate malignant from benign lesions without specific malignancy patterns on unenhanced chest CT image.

Heat transfer behaviors in corium pools under swinging conditions

As an effective severe accident mitigation strategy, in-vessel retention (IVR) of molten corium is one of key research objects in the realm of nuclear safety analysis. However, relevant studies on this topic are currently very limited for ocean floating reactors (OFRs), which are inevitably influenced by ocean motion conditions. Thus, in this paper, both experimental and numerical study were performed on the heat transfer behaviors in corium pools under swinging conditions for OFRs. Experimental results showed that swinging motions generally weakened the thermal stratification in the liquid region of corium pools. When swinging motions were intense enough, the dimensionless temperature decreased by 7.1 % at the top of corium pool, while it increased by 30.7 % at the bottom. Accordingly, remelting of the solid crust at the bottom was found in this case. Moreover, a surge of heat flux was observed in the middle and upper parts of corium pool contacting the vessel wall soon after swinging motions started. The peak heat flux could be about 2.57 times higher than that before the starting of swinging motion. But in the stable state of swinging motions, thermal focusing effect was alleviated by more than 18 % within the test conditions. Based on the numerical simulation, the convection inside corium pools was enhanced under swinging conditions, with the bulk flow velocity reaching the magnitude of 1 cm/s. Additionally, high heat flux was mainly concentrated in the symmetric two directions perpendicular to the axis of swinging motion in the free surface nearby region. The peak heat flux ratio was about 2.3 in the azimuth angle 0° and 180°, 25.7 % higher than that in the azimuth angle 90° and 270°. This work is supposed to provide valuable references to evaluate the safety designs for ocean floating reactors during postulated severe accidents.
