This paper proposes a novel swarm intelligence bioinspired optimization algorithm, called
the Dandelion Optimizer (DO), for solving continuous optimization problems. DO simulates …

Plants cover a large fraction of the Earth's land mass despite most species having limited to
no mobility. To transport their propagules, many plants have evolved mechanisms to …

Wind-dispersed plants have evolved ingenious ways to lift their seeds,. The common
dandelion uses a bundle of drag-enhancing bristles (the pappus) that helps to keep their …

This study proposes an advanced control strategy for the coordination of an energy storage
system (ESS) based on fuel cells (FCs) and renewable energy sources (RESs) to enhance …

Plants have evolved different mechanisms to disperse from parent plants and improve
germination to sustain their survival. The study of seed dispersal mechanisms, with the …

The viscous flow over a thick permeable circular disk in the Reynolds number (Re) range of
10 to 130 and in the Darcy number (Da) range of 10− 9 to 1 is examined. Direct numerical …

Although the stability properties of the wake past impervious bluff bodies have been widely
examined in the literature, similar analyses regarding the flow around and through porous …

We present a one-dimensional k-ɛ model and a Markov chain stochastic Lagrangian
particle tracking model to study wind-driven dispersal of forest and grassland seeds. The …

Many kinds of medicinal ingredients occur in Cirsium lineare that have good clinical efficacy,
conferring on this species its high medicinal development value. However, with a rapidly …

Dandelion seeds possess a complex three-dimensional structure and a self-adapted flying
ability. To understand this fascinating flight mechanism, a three-dimensional umbrella …
