Study of Thermal and Hydrodynamic Behavior of Incone-625 Additively Manufactured Surfaces with Varying Scan Orientations: Surface Topography Analysis, Experimental Investigation with Reproducibility Tests and CFD Verification

This study investigates the impact of laser powder bed fusion scan orientations (0°, 45°, and 90°) on the thermal and hydrodynamic performance of Inconel-625 cooling channels by combining experimental measurements with CFD simulations, revealing that the 90° build orientation yields superior heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics compared to other orientations and a smooth baseline.

Adaptive constrained first-arrival tomography driven by uphole velocity priors for complex near-surface imaging

This paper proposes an adaptive constrained first-arrival tomography method that integrates uphole velocity priors with a novel horizontally–vertically decoupled Gaussian regularization to overcome sparse ray coverage and ill-posed artifacts, thereby significantly improving near-surface velocity modeling accuracy and static corrections for complex environments like China's Loess Plateau.
