Calving dynamics at Jakobshavn Isbrae (Sermeq Kujalleq) controlled by local geometry: insights from a 3D Stokes calving model by Iain Wheel, Anna J. Crawford, Douglas I. Benn

“…Additional, 2-year transient simulations show that although ice mélange is essential to the glacier's winter readvance, when removed, the glacier only retreats a couple of kilometres before reaching a stable position. …”

Projection of glacier changes over the Laohugou Glacier No. 12, Northeast Tibetan Plateau, China from 2020 to 2100 by Mengyuan Liu, Baojuan Huai, Lei Wang, Yuzhe Wang, Hongmin An, Jizu Chen, Wentao Du, Xiang Qin, Weijun Sun

“…In this study, Laohugou Glacier No. 12 (LHG12), in the western QMs, was selected as a study area. Based on the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) models, the degree-day and glacier retreat models were used to predict the glacier changes under three scenarios for 2020–2100. …”

Nonharmonic Control of the Blade-Vortex Interaction Noise of Electrically Controlled Rotor by Kewei Li, Taoyong Su, Yang Lu, Qijun Zhao

“…The results show that flap nonharmonic control has little effect on miss distance and that it controls BVI noise mainly by reducing the wake vortex strength on the advancing and retreating sides, which may lead to an increase in rotor noise in other regions; the noise reduction effect of flap nonharmonic control for different blade preindex angles indicates that suitable preindex angles coupled with flap nonharmonic control help optimally reduce noise.…”
