Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology provides high-precision ZTD estimation, but sparse station coverage poses fundamental challenges for real-time ZTD mapping, particularly in regions with complex terrain where conventional interpolation methods exhibit limited accuracy due to inadequate characterization of ZTD’s vertical stratification. Here we present a hierarchical framework incorporating two methods: ZTD-ER, combining a three-dimensional voxel empirical model (EZTD) with radial basis function interpolation, and ZTD-GR, integrating Global Forecast System (GFS) data with radial basis function interpolation. The respective average RMSE values are 6.85 mm and 5.90 mm. We found that this represents accuracy improvements of 46–67 % compared to traditional polynomial and spherical harmonic methods, while the EZTD-based approach maintains near-optimal performance (6.85 mm RMSE) even when GFS data is unavailable, demonstrating superior robustness across different elevations and seasons. Our results provide a reliable solution for high-precision real-time ZTD mapping in challenging regions where GNSS networks are sparse. This strategy addresses critical limitations in current tropospheric modeling capabilities, offering enhanced spatial resolution for real-time GNSS meteorological monitoring and improved atmospheric corrections for precision satellite navigation applications.

Most previous studies have focused on experimental characterisation or tool motion analysis, lacking research on the intrinsic coupling relationship between vibration and cutting force. This has resulted in a lack of systematic understanding of the dynamic interaction processes within the machining system. This study performs appropriate phase space reconstruction (PSR) on one-dimensional milling signals and uses it to draw a cross-recursive plot (CRP). Based on the structural characteristics of the image, the correlation between signals is discussed qualitatively. A subsequent cross recurrence quantitative analysis (CRQA) is employed to quantitatively evaluate the correlation across different process parameters. Unlike traditional non-linear analysis techniques, the cross-recursive method can capture coupling properties in short-term, non-stationary, non-linear signals. This paper is the first to apply the cross-recursive method to the study of the correlation between vibration and cutting force in dry whirlwind milling. The research results indicate that there is a good continuous correlation between vibration and cutting force under certain combinations of process parameters. At high cutting speeds (V<sub>t</sub> = 180 m/min), the use of multiple cutting tools (N<sub>t</sub> = 6) significantly reduces the correlation and stability between vibration and force (by approximately 30–35 %).

The device comprises two coiled pipes: the inner pipe carries a heat-transfer fluid (HTF), and the outer pipe is maintained at the liquidus temperature of a binary solar salt that serves as phase-change material (PCM). The PCM-filled annulus is modeled via the enthalpy–porosity method to capture mushy-zone behavior with temperature-dependent properties for both PCM and HTF. The inner pipe is an Al/AlN metal–matrix composite (MMC); its effective conductivity is computed using the Maxwell–Eucken relation. Transient CFD with energy, momentum, and mass conservation is coupled to a one-way fluid–structure interaction (FSI) step to quantify tube deformation. Model validity is established against published data with a maximum discrepancy of 5.2%. To enable rapid performance estimation, a Reptile Search Algorithm–optimized deep neural network (RSA-DNN) is trained on simulation data to map operating/material inputs to the outlet–inlet temperature rise and to replicate the FSI-informed trends. The surrogate achieves validation R<sup>2</sup> up to 0.947 and ≤0.5 K absolute error across the operating envelope while preserving expected monotonic trends with mass flow and AlN fraction. As an application, four HTFs are benchmarked: Therminol 62 attains a 48 °C gradient at 200 s with the lowest mass flow (50 g/s), whereas Therminol 66 requires 57.89 g/s. The integration of CFD–FSI modeling with an RSA-optimized DNN surrogate constitutes a novel, data-efficient framework that simultaneously captures thermal and structural responses in PCM-assisted helical systems. This dual focus on thermo-mechanical performance, combined with a metaheuristic-optimized surrogate, goes beyond existing PCM-based exchanger studies.
