An orbifold framework for classifying layer groups with an application to knitted fabrics

Abstract Entangled structures, such as textiles and architected materials, are often doubly periodic. Owing to this property and their finite transverse thickness, the symmetries of these materials are described by the crystallographic layer groups. While orbifold notation provid...

Role of interfacial contact topology in reduction-dependent molten iron–slag dripping through coke-packed beds

Hydrogen-enriched blast furnace operations change the reduction state and composition of dripping slag; however, its effects on coupled iron–slag flow through coke-packed beds remain insufficiently quantified. Therefore, dynamic multiphase simulations were performed for molten ir...
