In this paper, we develop a macroscopic finite-difference scheme from the mesoscopic regularized lattice Boltzmann (RLB) method to solve the Navier-Stokes equations (NSEs) and convection-diffusion equation (CDE). Unlike the commonly used RLB method based on the evolution of a set of distribution functions, this macroscopic finite-difference scheme is constructed based on the hydrodynamic variables of NSEs (density, momentum, and strain rate tensor) or macroscopic variables of CDE (concentration and flux), and thus shares low memory requirement and high computational efficiency. Based on an accuracy analysis, it is shown that, the same as the mesoscopic RLB method, the macroscopic finite-difference scheme also has a second-order accuracy in space. In addition, we would like to point out that compared with the RLB method and its equivalent macroscopic numerical scheme, the present macroscopic finite-difference scheme is much simpler and more efficient since it is only a two-level system with macroscopic variables. Finally, we perform some simulations of several benchmark problems, and find that the numerical results are not only in agreement with analytical solutions, but also consistent with the theoretical analysis.

Auto-ejection of liquid is an important process in engineering applications, and is also very complicated since it involves interface moving, deforming, and jet breaking up. In this work, a theoretical velocity of meniscus at nozzle exit is first derived, which can be used to analyze the critical condition for auto-ejection of liquid. Then a consistent and conservative axisymmetric lattice Boltzmann (LB) method is proposed to study the auto-ejection process of liquid jet from a nozzle. We test the LB model by conducting some simulations, and find that the numerical results agree well with the theoretical and experimental data. We further consider the effects of contraction ratio, length ratio, contact angle, and nozzle structure on the auto-ejection, and observe some distinct phenomena during the ejection process, including the deformation of meniscus, capillary necking, and droplet pinch off. Finally, the results reported in the present work may play an instructive role on the design of droplet ejectors and the understanding of jetting dynamics in microgravity environment.

Accurate net load forecasting is vital for energy planning, aiding decisions on trade and load distribution. However, assessing the performance of forecasting models across diverse input variables, like temperature and humidity, remains challenging, particularly for eliciting a high degree of trust in the model outcomes. In this context, there is a growing need for data-driven technological interventions to aid scientists in comprehending how models react to both noisy and clean input variables, thus shedding light on complex behaviors and fostering confidence in the outcomes. In this paper, we present Forte, a visual analytics-based application to explore deep probabilistic net load forecasting models across various input variables and understand the error rates for different scenarios. With carefully designed visual interventions, this web-based interface empowers scientists to derive insights about model performance by simulating diverse scenarios, facilitating an informed decision-making process. We discuss observations made using Forte and demonstrate the effectiveness of visualization techniques to provide valuable insights into the correlation between weather inputs and net load forecasts, ultimately advancing grid capabilities by improving trust in forecasting models.

Executive functioning is a cognitive process that enables humans to plan, organize, and regulate their behavior in a goal-directed manner. Understanding and classifying the changes in executive functioning after longitudinal interventions (like transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)) has not been explored in the literature. This study employs functional connectivity and machine learning algorithms to classify executive functioning performance post-tDCS. Fifty subjects were divided into experimental and placebo control groups. EEG data was collected while subjects performed an executive functioning task on Day 1. The experimental group received tDCS during task training from Day 2 to Day 8, while the control group received sham tDCS. On Day 10, subjects repeated the tasks specified on Day 1. Different functional connectivity metrics were extracted from EEG data and eventually used for classifying executive functioning performance using different machine learning algorithms. Results revealed that a novel combination of partial directed coherence and multi-layer perceptron (along with recursive feature elimination) resulted in a high classification accuracy of 95.44%. We discuss the implications of our results in developing real-time neurofeedback systems for assessing and enhancing executive functioning performance post-tDCS administration.
