(author), Milošev, Ingrid (author), Kokalj, Anton (author), Renner, Frank Uwe (author)The initiation of corrosion can be triggered by defects in the adsorbed layer of organic inhibitors. A detailed knowledge of the intermolecular forces between the inhibitor molecules and the interfacial bonding will be decisive to unravel the mechanisms driving the corrosion initiation. In this work, adsorbed organic layers of 2-mercapto-5...journal article 2021

Xie, Dongfeng (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)Despite the increasing number of studies on the river-tide interactions in estuaries, less attention has been paid to the role of seasonal morphological changes on tidal regime. This study analyzes the seasonal interplay of river and tide in the Qiantang Estuary, China, particularly focusing on the influences of the active morphological...journal article 2021

Morphodynamic modeling the impact of large-scale embankment on the large bar in a convergent estuaryXie, Dongfeng (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), van der Wegen, Mick (author), Huang, Junbao (author)Many alluvial estuaries worldwide include an inside bar system, a large sediment deposit deeply stretched into the estuary. A good example of such a system is the large sediment deposit in the Qiantang Estuary, China. Its length and height reach 130 km and 10 m, respectively. Bathymetrical comparison reveals that the large bar has moved seaward...journal article 2021

Liu, S. (author), Zhou, Yangxiao (author), Xie, Mingzhao (author), McClain, M.E. (author), Wang, Xu Sheng (author)A coupled regional and local model is required when groundwater flow and solute transport are to be simulated in local areas of interest with a finer grid while regional aquifer boundary and major stresses should be retained with a coarser grid. The coupled model should also maintain interactions between the regional and local flow systems. In...journal article 2021

(author), Hwang, Harold Y. (author)In systems near phase transitions, macroscopic properties often follow algebraic scaling laws, determined by the dimensionality and the underlying symmetries of the system. The emergence of such universal scaling implies that microscopic details are irrelevant. Here, we locally investigate the scaling properties of the metal-insulator...journal article 2021

(author), Meng, Yi (author), Zhang, Weiguo (author), He, Qing (author)Net sediment transport is predominantly seaward in fluvial-dominated estuaries worldwide. However, a distributary branch in the Changjiang Estuary, the North Branch, undergoes net landward sediment transport, which leads to severe channel aggradation. Its controlling mechanism and the role of human activities remain insufficiently understood,...review 2021
