The occurrence of significant implant shifts between CT simulation planning and first fraction delivery is a frequent challenge for HDR prostate brachytherapy treatment. Here, we present evidence supporting the viability of a first-order adaptation strategy as a viable alternative to the conventional practice of re-scanning and re-planning. Our findings underscore the potential of this approach to enhance workflow efficiency in HDR prostate brachytherapy.

This paper comprehensively considers the impact of both internal and external traffic environments on the collection and distribution road system in the harbor area. Utilizing Anylogic simulation software, we construct a test environment using Yulong Port’s collection and distribution scenario as a case study. The analysis examines the influence of changes in road construction and the growth of external traffic on the operational efficiency of the port’s road collection and distribution system. The results indicate that with the addition of new roads, the efficiency of car and freight vehicle operations improves, leading to a respective decrease in the average travel time within the system by 3.6% and 4.4%. However, under conditions where social traffic flow increases to 1.2 times, the average travel time of the traffic flow within the system significantly rises, and congestion occurs in the external traffic around the port. The findings of this research provide valuable decision-making insights for the construction of collection and distribution channels in port areas and the approval of governmental projects.

The applicability of the soil spring calculation model given in China’s standard SY/T 7403 “Code for strain-based design of oil & gas transmission pipelines” and GB/T 50470 “Seismic technical code for oil and gas transmission pipeline engineering” to large-diameter pipelines is not clear. In this paper, the soil spring calculation formulas recommended in the two standards are analyzed, and the corresponding finite element numerical simulation models are established. The applicability of the lateral and vertical soil spring models in the two standards is discussed. The results show that the calculation accuracy of the two standards needs to be improved, and the applicability is different for different pipe diameters and soil properties.

In this paper, the influence of shaft spillway shape on its performance is studied by numerical simulation to improve its design and operation efficiency. The type of pressure slope section, the sensitivity of the radius of the turning section, and the optimal arrangement of the stilling pool are studied and analyzed. It is found that increasing the length of the pressure slope section can stabilize the flow in the pressure section of the tunnel. The deflection phenomenon can be reduced by increasing the radius of the turning section. The symmetrical arrangement of the stilling pool can improve the water flow pattern. Through numerical simulation, the paper provides some suggestions on the optimal design of the shaft spillway to improve its performance and efficiency.

Currently, much interest is attracted to investigating the potential of hybrid systems that exhibit plasmon-induced photoluminescence (PL) enhancement of quantum emitters in terms of optoelectronics and biosensing applications. The implementation of these systems based on photonic microcavities offers benefits due to a stronger localization of the field within the resonant cavity. Porous silicon is one of interesting materials for engineering such microcavities thanks to the simplicity of its fabrication and the possibility to embed emitters from the solution into a ready-made resonator. In this theoretical study, the fluorescence enhancement of a quantum dot (QD) in a hybrid system based on a porous silicon microcavity (pSiMC) and silver nanoplatelets (AgNPs) was investigated using finite element method (FEM) numerical simulations. For this purpose, infinite arrays were simulated by using a periodic unit cell. The pSiMC was designed as two λ/4 distributed Bragg reflectors with alternating refractive indices and a cavity layer of a double thickness between them. For comparison, simulations were also performed for an AgNP and a QD in a reference monolayer with a constant refractive index without a microcavity structure. The results show QD fluorescence enhancement in the AgNP/pSiMC hybrid system, mainly due to the higher excitation rate.

Supersonic cyclone separation technology, as a new type of natural gas dewatering technology, utilizes the temperature drop generated by ultrahigh velocity fluid flow to condense the water vapor, thus accomplishing the goal of gas-liquid separation. At the input pressure of 8.48×104 Pa (G), the input temperature of 279.6 K, and the input water steam quality score of 5%, the flow fields and condensation characteristics were compared within the steeped, attached, five-curved three separator structures and the control group without the separator structure. The result shows that when the number of mahs of the ultrasonic spin separator of the ladder separator structure reached 1.51, the minimum pressure is −7.49×104 Pa, resulting in a temperature drop of approximately 100 K, and the flow field is most conducive to droplet condensation and growth; the maximum nucleation rate is 2.23×1023 kg−1·s−1, and the droplet diameter is 6.64×10−3μm.

In the maglev system, the long stator linear motor provides power for the train, and electromagnetic disturbance will be generated during the operation of the motor, which will interfere with other equipment. In this paper, the influence of linear motors on the electromagnetic environment inside the train is analyzed by the finite element method, and the magnetic field intensity inside the train under two different working conditions is obtained by software simulation. It is found that under normal working conditions, the magnetic field radiation emission of the linear motor meets the requirements. Under phase absence conditions, the overall magnetic field intensity on the left side of the car body, the center of the axis, and the right side increases by 12 dB, 17 dB, and 19 dB respectively, so it is necessary to avoid such a situation. This paper further proposes that the external radiation emission of the vehicle can be improved through shielding.

This paper employs finite element simulation techniques to devise an innovative array-type petal-shaped pulsed eddy current testing probe and investigates its distinctions related to conventional cylindrical probes. Within the simulation framework, a thorough comparative analysis of the detection capabilities of the two probe types is conducted, encompassing an examination of the eddy current regions formed, the impact of lift-off effects and sensitivity to circular corrosion defects. The simulation outcomes reveal that the probe designed in this study exhibits a more extensive detection range and superior detection performance in comparison to its counterparts. This observation holds significance for defect detection in coated materials and the refinement of pulsed eddy current testing probe designs.

In this paper, the air threat received in modern naval warfare is taken as the background, and based on the threat assessment index, PCA and BP neural networks are used to establish a target threat assessment model. Through simulation and analysis, the threat values of different incoming targets are derived, and the data results of this model and other models are compared. It is concluded that the results of this model are basically consistent with the original values, and the error is significantly smaller than that of the other models, which realizes the real-time dynamic detection of threatening targets, and provides a strong support for the subsequent combat program.

This paper establishes a 1/2 three-dimensional finite element model that considers multiple factors affecting the erosion rate of the four-way fracturing structure on site. The model can simulate the effects of different inlet velocities, dynamic viscosities, outlet quantities, outlet pressures, and channel wall angles on the velocity and streamline distribution of the four-way channel. It is also possible to analyze the effects of different factors such as inlet velocity, sand carrying mass flow rate, inlet quantity, fluid dynamic viscosity, fracturing fluid particle density, fracturing fluid particle diameter, four-way wall hardness, and channel wall inclination angle on the erosion of the inner wall. Through the established model calculation, it was found that as the inlet flow velocity increases, the maximum flow velocity in the channel also increases, and the value is close to 1.8 times the inlet velocity, with the maximum value appearing at the inlet corner. When the inlet velocity of the four-way valve is low, a significant vortex-like flow field appears in the closed flow channel of the four-way valve, which will lead to the accumulation of particles in the fracturing fluid. The calculation shows that the number and velocity of sand containing fracturing fluid inlets have the greatest impact on the erosion rate of the four-way flow channel, and the optimal inclination angle of the flow channel is 9 degrees. Increasing the hardness of the four-way wall can improve the maximum erosion rate of the flow channel wall, but changing the sand particle density and diameter has little significance in reducing the erosion rate of the four-way flow channel. It is recommended to perform corresponding heat treatment on the inner wall of the four-way valve to reduce the impact of sand containing fracturing fluid on wall erosion. This article provides a theoretical basis and guidance for controlling or avoiding erosion and thinning failure of four-way valves and also provides a theoretical basis for the design of wellhead four-way valves and various safe construction operations.
