Fluid flow through single rough surface is critical for many geophysical processes and engineering applications. Thus, relations between flow and surrounding fracture geometry will be investigated. Four pairs of engineered Carrara marble surfaces with diff ...
Microbiology and biophysics are converging to advance our understanding of the mechanobiology of microorganisms. In this Review, Dufrene and Persat discuss the physical forces that bacteria experience in their natural environments and the structures that t ...
Metallic aluminium plays a key role in our modern economy. Primary
metallic aluminium is produced by the transformation of aluminium
oxide using the Hall-Héroult industrial process. This process, which
requires enormous quantities of energy, consists in pe ...
We give an answer to a question posed in Amorim et al. (ESAIM Math Model Numer Anal 49(1):19–37, 2015), which can loosely speaking, be formulated as follows: consider a family of continuity equations where the velocity depends on the solution via the convo ...
Neural networks are increasingly used in complex (data-driven) simulations as surrogates or for accelerating the computation of classical surrogates. In many applications physical constraints, such as mass or energy conservation, must be satised to obtain ...
Neural networks are increasingly used in complex (data-driven) simulations as surrogates or for accelerating the computation of classical surrogates. In many applications physical constraints, such as mass or energy conservation, must be satisfied to obtai ...
A macroscopic condition to simulate the interaction between an incompressible fluid flow and a permeable micro-structured rigid surface (i.e. a thin membrane) has been developed using multiscale homogenization and matching asymptotic expansions between the ...
Nanopores are nanometer sized openings that are the connection between two electrolyte filled reservoirs. The measurement of the ion transport flowing through such a pore allows to probe physically or biologically interesting phenomena. These range from th ...
Microorganisms navigate and divide on surfaces to form multicellular structures called biofilms, the most widespread survival strategy found in the bacterial world. One common assumption is that cellular components guide the spatial architecture and arrang ...
Macroscale and mesoscale simulations of hyper-concentrated sediment-laden flows rely on robust couplings of the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations in conjunction with the shear-stress transport k-ω turbulence model. Also other closure laws for model ...
