Identification of kinetic models and estimation of reaction and mass-transfer parameters can be performed using the extent-based identification method, whereby each chemical/physical process is treated individually. This method is used here to analyze gas- ...
The proper boundary conditions at the magnetic presheath entrance for plasma fluid turbulence models based on the drift approximation are derived, focusing on a weakly collisional plasma sheath with Ti≪Te and a magnetic field oblique to a totally absorbing ...
Mammalian cell cultures have become a major topic of research in the biopharmaceutical industry. This kind of cells requires specific conditions to grow. In this thesis, we study the hydrodynamics of orbitally shaken reactors (OSR), a recently introduced k ...
In a region D in R-2 or R-3, the classical Euler equation for the regular motion of an inviscid and incompressible fluid of constant density is given by partial derivative(t)v + (v . del(x))v = -del(xP), div(x)v = 0, where v(t, x) is the velocity of the pa ...
Accurate microscale windfields computations over complex topography is crucial to many particle transport models but remains a challenging task. The objective of this work focuses on the numerical simulations of micro-scale windfields over the steep Gauder ...
Recent pioneering experiments combining ultrafast lasers with electron-based technology demonstrated the possibility to obtain real-time information about chemical bonds and their dynamics during reactions and phase transformation. These techniques have be ...
We report the results of exact-diagonalization studies of Hubbard models on a 4x4 square lattice with periodic boundary conditions and various degrees and patterns of inhomogeneity, which are represented by inequivalent hopping integrals t and t('). We foc ...
Laboratory column experiments involving steady flow in homogeneous soil are often analyzed assuming that the flow is spatially uniform in any plane transverse to the longitudinal axis aligned with the column centerline. Axisymmetric steady flow in such a c ...
The triple probe method to obtain local, time-resolved measurements of density, electron temperature and plasma potential is investigated in detail. The difficulties in obtaining reliable measurements with this technique are discussed and overcome. These i ...
Continuum-scale equations of radiative transfer and corresponding boundary conditions are derived for a general case of a multi-component medium consisting of arbitrary-type, non-isothermal and non-uniform components in the limit of geometrical optics. The ...
