Molecular simulations of interfacial systems: challenges, applications and future perspectives

Athanasios Nenes, Satoshi Takahama, Mária Lbadaoui-Darvas

We present a comprehensive review of methods and applications of molecular simulations of interfacial systems. We give a detailed overview of the main techniques and major challenges in the following aspects of solid and fluid surfaces: adsorption at solid ...

PyFrac: A planar 3D hydraulic fracture simulator

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Haseeb Zia

Fluid driven fractures propagate in the upper earth crust either naturally or in response to engineeredfluid injections. The quantitative prediction of their evolution is critical in order to better understandtheir dynamics as well as to optimize their cre ...

Influence of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) on the Tribocorrosion Behaviour of a Low Carbon CoCrMo Alloy in Simulated Body Fluids

Stefano Mischler, Shoufan Cao, Choshun Yoneyama

Tribocorrosion, as the interaction between mechanical wear and electrochemical corrosion, has been found to be the main problem causing the failure and limiting the lifetime of metal-on-metal artificial hip joints. Better understanding of the tribocorrosio ...

Cities, from Information to Interaction

João Vitor Meirelles de Miranda

From physics to the social sciences, information is now seen as a fundamental component of reality. However, a form of information seems still underestimated, perhaps precisely because it is so pervasive that we take it for granted: the information encoded ...

An online-offline homogenization strategy to solve quasilinear two-scale problems at the cost of one-scale problems

Assyr Abdulle, Gilles Vilmart, Yun Bai

Inspired by recent analyses of the finite element heterogeneous multiscale method and the reduced basis technique for nonlinear problems, we present a simple and concise finite element algorithm for the reliable and efficient resolution of elliptic or para ...

Recent advances in the simulation of particle-laden flows

Marco Ramaioli

A substantial number of algorithms exists for the simulation of moving particles suspended in fluids. However, finding the best method to address a particular physical problem is often highly non-trivial and depends on the properties of the particles and t ...

Model calibration of a geomechanical problem with efficient global optimization

Francesco Comola

Efficient Global Optimization (EGO) is an optimization strategy based on approximating functions, namely Gaussian process models. We show the application of this technique to a model calibration problem referred to a geomechanical application. By means of ...

Stochastic Exploration of Ambiguities for Non-Rigid Shape Recovery

Pascal Fua

Recovering the 3D shape of deformable surfaces from single images is known to be a highly ambiguous problem because many different shapes may have very similar projections. This is commonly addressed by restricting the set of possible shapes to linear comb ...

A posteriori error analysis of the heterogeneous multiscale method for homogenization problems

Assyr Abdulle, Achim Nonnenmacher

In this Note we derive a posteriori error estimates for a multiscale method, the so-called heterogeneous multiscale method, applied to elliptic homogenization problems. The multiscale method is based on a macro-to-micro formulation. The macroscopic method ...

Computational fluid dynamics for naval engineering problems

Nicola Parolini

The subject of this thesis is the numerical simulation of viscous free-surface flows in naval engineering applications. State-of-the-art numerical methods based on the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations are used to predict the flow around different cl ...
