This paper presents a methodology for estimating the pressure field from experimental velocity fields using physics-informed neural networks (PINNs). The proposed model estimates pressures directly raw data, without requiring boundary conditions or regular meshes. Manufactured solutions lid-driven cavity problem were employed to evaluate model's performance, demonstrating reasonable accuracy and minimal dependence on data refinement. Time-averaged vector of single-phase flows across tube...

Identifying the main taxonomic, phylogenetic and trait dimensions of beta diversity, evaluating their prospective drivers, advances our understanding patterns processes involved in evolution biological assemblages. Using comprehensive databases on distribution, phylogeny, morphological traits (later referred as functional traits) Amazonian freshwater fishes, we analyzed diversity these three to evaluate historical contemporary drivers. We mostly focused pure turnover components (Taxoβsim,...

An atmospheric Internal Boundary Layer (IBL) occurs when sudden changes in surface roughness disturb wind flows. The region of the Brazilian Alcantara Space Center (ASC), with its rocket launching pad located 150 m downwind a 40 coastal cliff, presents formation an IBL due to winds blowing inland from ocean.
