Uncertainty appears in many aspects of physical simulations including stochastic design parameters, hard-to-specify input distributions, probabilistic boundary and initial conditions, and unknown geometries. Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) has emerged as the science of quantitative ... Read More

Introduction Fluid flow patterns in research or process-scale equipment where a fluid is contained between concentric rotating cylinders in the absence of bulk axial flow has received notable attention in the field of fluid mechanics. Annular flows occur in many practical applications, ... Read More

The flow simulation of solid, particulate materials is still challenging, even though estimations show that three-quarters of products and raw materials are present as granules form in the industry. We can think of grain in the agriculture, raw materials of the glass industry, granulated ... Read More

Electroporation is a biotechnological technique which subjects cells to strong (~kV/cm), short (~ms) electric field pulses that open pores on the cells’ plasma membranes. Under the appropriate conditions, the pores mediate the passage of exogenous material into cells. If the pores ... Read More

Reynolds Numbers effect: In the first bend, the higher the Reynolds number, the longer the first pair of vorticities stays attached to the wall. In the second bend, the higher Reynolds Numbers, the secondary flow from the first bend dominates. Curvature Radius effect: The smaller the ... Read More

Stress and failure in the earth have long been observed to couple to hydrogeology. Poroelastic models, introduced by soil scientists, can account for strong two-way coupling between porous crustal rock formations and their pore fluids. Current efforts to provide new energy resources ... Read More

Fluid injection and withdrawal in deep wells is a basic procedure in mining activities and deep resources exploitation, i.e. oil and gas extraction, geothermal exploitation, geothermal permeability enhancement and waste ?uid disposal. All these activities have the potential to induce ... Read More

Today, low noise is a mandatory feature for power transformers to comply with customer specifications and environmental regulations. Therefore, it is crucial to develop sound prediction tools with sufficient accuracy to avoid overkill margins in design and costly modifications after ... Read More

In inductive heating simulations the electromagnetic properties of the steel have a significant impact on the temperature pattern along the heated product. Indeed, taking into account the non-linearity of the ferromagnetic material properties is a key point to have relevant simulation ... Read More

Parallelization of microfluidic droplet generators is one of the major challenges that droplet microfluidics has to overcome to contribute significantly towards the sustainable manufacturing of advanced materials such as nanoparticles, quantum dots, active pharmaceuticals, etc. A ... Read More
