Two-dimensional (2D) topological insulators (TIs) or quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulators, characterized by insulating 2D electronic band structures and metallic helical edge states protected by time-reversal symmetry, offer a platform for realizing the quantum spin Hall effect, making them promising candidates for future spintronic devices and quant...

Background In recent decades, cities worldwide are increasingly adopting vehicle access policies and technologies to alleviate the negative externalities related to high car use in the urban built environments. As such, car-oriented infrastructures and mobility policies implemented post-World War II are giving way to sustainable mobility strategies...
The aim of the present numerical study is to show that the recently developed Alternating Direction Reconstruction Immersed Boundary Method (ADR-IBM) [1] can be used for Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) problems and can be combined with an Actuator Line Model (ALM) and a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) interface for high-fidelity simulations of fluid ...
The interaction between wind turbine wakes and atmospheric turbulence is characterised by complex dynamics. In this study, two major components of the atmospheric boundary layer dynamics have been isolated, namely, the mean velocity profile shear and the thermal stratification, to examine their impact on the near-wake development by undertaking a s...
