Abbott’s Mechanical Circulatory Support group build implants that help people suffering from heart failure, a deadly and increasingly common disease. We combine computational fluid dynamics and particle tracing simulations to optimize the designs of implantable blood pumps that replace ... Read More
Bio-compatibilized G/GO/RGO composite structures with embedded stearic acid on a bilayer structure model, biomimicking the cellular lipid bilayer are introduced through successive models. The solvent accessible surface of the models (van der Waals surface) and the related MD values were ... Read More
Laser cladding is an additive manufacturing process, where a laser beam creates a melt pool, into which powder is fed from a powder nozzle. Due to the feed motion of the laser beam and the powder nozzle relative to the workpiece, coatings and 3D parts can be deposited, which consist of ... Read More
The Laser Metal Deposition process (LMD) is a rapid free form fabrication method which can be used to manufacture new near net shape metallic components, to repair used ones or to add functional parts on existing ones. This process is composed by multiple gas streams flowing inside a ... Read More
Air pollution caused by particulate matter (PM) is one of the most severe issues in urban environments. Urban green infrastructure (UGI), in particular green walls, have been proven to be capable of capturing PM via deposition on leaves. This phenomenon was assessed by numerical ... Read More
The mesh is a key component in numerical simulations as it represents the spatial discretization of the model geometry. To accurately measure the variation of the unknowns, a relevant mesh should have a high density of degrees of freedom in regions where the norm of the gradient of the ... Read More
Water disinfection using UV light is a well-known technology. Conventionally, mercury based cylindrical lamps are used, however, recently LED based UV lamps have emerged on a commercial scale. These devices hold several advantages compared to the conventional lamps, e.g. being mercury ... Read More
In the decades since humans first went to space, there has been growing interest in utilizing microgravity to improve our understanding in many scientific fields (1). Applied fields have included evolutionary development, cell mechanics and protein crystallization (2-4). Microgravity ... Read More
One of the obstacles preventing photovoltaic and concentrated solar power technologies from scaling up to meet increasing electricity demands is the inevitable dust accumulation on the optical surfaces of solar collectors. The ideal location for solar power is arid environments due to ... Read More
At the Kansas City National Security Campus (KCNSC), simulation analysts are often called upon to evaluate designs and manufacturing processes performed in the plant. Precision mechanisms need to be assembled on clean benches that provide laminar airflow to prevent dust contamination. ... Read More
