Modeling of critical sand-carrying flow rate of gas-liquid-solid three-phase flow in an inclined pipe by Guowei Wang, Yong Zhang, Junwei Sun, Qi Xia, Manlai Zhang, Ruiquan Liao

“…The results indicate that under critical conditions, the gas-liquid-solid three-phase flow exhibits a flow pattern transitioning from turbulent flow to annular flow. The critical sand-carrying flow velocities for ellipsoidal, octahedral, hexagonal, and tetrahedral particles are 5.18 %, 8.83 %, 16.73 %, and 23.86 % higher than those of spherical particles, respectively. …”

Improved lightweight DeepLabV3+ for bare rock extraction from high-resolution UAV imagery by Pengde Lai, Chao Lv, Lv Zhou, Shengxiong Yang, Jiao Xu, Qiulin Dong, Meilin He

“…However, in sparsely vegetated areas, bare rock exhibits similar spectral characteristics to surrounding land cover, and the boundaries are often indistinct, making it challenging for traditional classification methods to distinguish these transitional zones accurately. To address these challenges, this study proposes a bare rock extraction method based on an improved lightweight DeepLabV3+ model. …”
