Land surface dynamics: A Multiphysics Approach to Modeling Mass Transport
Abstract: Land surface dynamics are governed by complex interactions among hydrological, atmospheric, and geomorphological processes that collectively drive the transport of mass across terrestrial environments. Traditional modeling approaches often isolate individual mechanisms, limiting their ability to capture the coupled feedbacks that shape landscape evolution. This study presents a multiphysics framework for modeling mass transport on land surfaces, integrating fluid flow, sediment transport, heat exchange, and chemical reactions within a unified computational …

Polymeric Coating Applied for Corrosion Protection of Mild Steel in Corrosive Medium
Abstract: Mild steel is coated with a polymer layer of polybutadiene for protection. However, this coating does not effectively safeguard the metal in environments containing moisture, sulphur dioxide, or chloride. These pollutants interact with the polybutadiene-coated surface, creating a highly corrosive atmosphere. Moisture condenses on the coated metal surface and absorbs sulphur dioxide, forming sulphuric acid. This acid initiates both chemical and electrochemical reactions with the polymer-coated metal, accelerating the corrosion …
