Investigation of Fluid–Structure Interaction in Stenosed Bifurcated Arteries: Flow Dynamics and Conjugate Heat Transfer by Mudassar Razzaq, Muhammad Adnan Anwar, Kaleem Iqbal, Marcel Gurris

“…Previous research has shown that the likelihood of high-rupture stenosis can be linked to temperature distribution variations in bifurcated arteries. In this study, we employ a monolithic Arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) finite element approach to model heat transfer in fluid–structure interactions within stenosed bifurcated arteries, considering the elasticity of arterial walls. …”

Geopolitical, economic risk and the time-varying structure of extreme risk in the carbon emissions trading market by Junlong Mi, Junlong Mi, Xing Yang, Xing Yang, Xing Yang, Feifei Huang, Yufa Xu

“…The relevant results are threefold. (1) Significant extreme risk spillover effects exist between the carbon market and the stock, commodity, exchange rate, and interest rate markets, influenced by economic risks and geopolitical risks. (2) In the average extreme risk structure of the carbon market, aside from itself, geopolitical risks contribute the most, followed by the stock and commodity markets, while the contributions of the exchange rate and interest rate are relatively small, with economic risks exerting a slow and steadily increasing influence on extreme risks in the carbon market over the forecast period. (3) The extreme risk structure of the carbon market exhibits significant time-varying characteristics, with contributions from related extreme market risks, geopolitical risks, and economic risks showing significant variations during important periods such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia–Ukraine war. …”
