Introduction: Assessment of articular cartilage thickness distribution is important for localization of osteoarthritic development and determination of subsequent surgical therapy. Among various imaging modalities, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging showed superior clinical usefulness for evaluation of three dimensional (3D) cartilage thickness in knee joints, however, few studies have been conduc...

Laboratory measurements of the upward intensity distribution in young thin sea ice illustrate the variation of this distribution and peak intensity with growth temperature and ice thickness.

Recent satellite observations yield estimates of the distribution of sea ice thickness across the entire Arctic Ocean. While these sensors were only placed in operation within the last few years, information from other sensors may assist us with estimating the distribution of sea ice thickness in the Arctic beginning in the 1980s. A previous study found that the age of sea ice is correlated to ...

In this paper, the reconstruction mechanism of the boundary layer in the channel is studied using the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). By comparing the distribution of velocity in the channel, the conclusion that LBM has feasibility and superiority is obtained. Based on this, a physical model of square cylinders is set up to simulate the velocity distribution and the effect on the thickness of b...
