This study aimed to examine the acoustic field radiated by propellers and underwater vehicles. For the verification of sound radiation in underwater vehicles, numerical methods are widely used in addition to experiments and propeller blade frequencies for calculation and validation. Numerical convergence and accuracy are more important for near-field and far-field problems. This paper uses the boundary element method (BEM) to...

Aim The Sino‐Japanese Floristic Region has extremely high species diversity with respect to temperate plants; however, the reasons for this diversity are poorly understood because most studies have only considered geographic isolation caused by climatic oscillations. In some plant groups, high floral trait diversity and uneven species diversity between insular systems and the continental area suggest other factors may have imp...
