Article Vibration-Assisted Fluidization of Nanocellulose(Elsevier, 2026) Salimi, Sina; Hoorijani, Hamed; Zarghami, Reza; Sotudeh-Gharebagh, Rahmat; Van Geem, Kevin M.Nanocellulose, a renewable nanomaterial prized for its mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and tunable properties, faces challenges in gas-solid fluidization due to nanoparticle agglomeration, weak gas-solid interactions, and high elutriation caused by strong interparticle forces. This study uses pressure fluctuation analysis across frequency and time-frequency (wavelet transform) domains to investigate nanocellulose fluidization in a gas-solid bed. Mechanical vibration was introduced to optimize fluidization, with effects compared against nonvibrated conditions. Results show vibration significantly reduces agglomerate size and enhances bed expansion, improving fluidization efficiency. Notably, vibration lowers the minimum gas velocity requirement by approximately 4-fold. Pressure fluctuation analysis reveals that vibration amplifies low-frequency energy, fostering smaller bubbles and shifting energy contributions from large agglomerates to finer hydrodynamic structures. This shift correlates with intensified agglomerate interactions, leading to breakup and size reduction. Finally, the effect of introducing a powder additive to the nanocellulose bed on the hydrodynamics was examined, showing a moderate rise in macroscale energy at 1 % additive loading and a pronounced shift at 2 %, where macro structures accounted for nearly 45 % of the spectral energy. Overall, these findings underscore vibration-assisted fluidization as a promising method for scalable nanocellulose processing, offering actionable insights for advancing industrial applications.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Chiral Resonant Solitons in Chern-Simons Theory and Broer-Kaup Type New Hydrodynamic Systems(Elsevier Ltd., 2012) Lee, Jyh Hao; Pashaev, OktayNew Broer-Kaup type systems of hydrodynamic equations are derived from the derivative reaction-diffusion systems arising in SL(2, R) Kaup-Newell hierarchy, represented in the non-Madelung hydrodynamic form. A relation with the problem of chiral solitons in quantum potential as a dimensional reduction of 2 + 1 dimensional Chern-Simons theory for anyons is shown. By the Hirota bilinear method, soliton solutions are constructed and the resonant character of soliton interaction is found.Article Citation - WoS: 102Citation - Scopus: 112Effects of Selective Withdrawal on Hydrodynamics of a Stratified Reservoir(Springer Verlag, 2009) Çalışkan, Anıl; Elçi, ŞebnemIn water supply reservoirs, selective withdrawal is commonly implemented to control released water temperature for quality purposes. This study investigated the effects of selective withdrawal on hydrodynamics of a stratified reservoir through numerical modeling and analytical analysis. A 3-D hydrodynamic model was applied where observations of water temperature time series recorded every 30 min at the thermocline and measured temperature profiles along the water column were used to validate the numerical model. The effect of selective withdrawal from four outlets located along the water intake structure of Tahtali Reservoir in Turkey on water temperatures was investigated and the effects on thermal stratification structure were discussed. Withdrawal of the water at the bottom outlet was found to be the most effective choice encouraging the mixing of the water column and thus reducing anoxia. The results of this study can be used to guide the further investigations in stratified lakes for better management practices.
