The aim of this work is the development of a geometrical multiscale framework for the simulation of the human cardiovascular system under either physiological or pathological conditions. More precisely, we devise numerical algorithms for the partitioned so ...
A general continuum theory for particle size segregation and diffusive remixing in polydisperse granular avalanches is formulated using mixture theory. Comparisons are drawn to existing segregation theories for bi-disperse mixtures and the case of a ternar ...
The paper presents a time-dependent 2D numerical model which has been developed with the purpose of highlighting the effects of the slope foot evolution on the behaviour of slow-moving landslides. The model allows to quantitatively analyse how foot mass va ...
The research work reported in this dissertation is aimed to develop efficient and stable numerical schemes in order to obtain accurate numerical solution for viscoelastic fluid flows within the spectral element context. The present research consists in the ...
Microbial Induced Calcite Precipitation (MICP) is an innovative technique for soil grouting involving a bacterial reactive grout. A comprehensive research work is carried out to better understand and consequently describe the phenomenon of multispecies rea ...
This paper describes the implementation of a 3D parallel and Cartesian level set (LS) method coupled with a volume of fluid (VOF) method into the commercial CFD code FLUENT for modeling the gas-liquid interface in bubbly flow. Both level set and volume of ...
We investigate the dispersion of the charge carrier plasmon in the three prototypical charge-density wave bearing transition-metal dichalcogenides 2H-TaSe2, 2H-TaS2, and 2H-NbSe2 employing electron energy-loss spectroscopy. For all three compounds the plas ...
The simulation of viscoelastic fluids is a challenging task from the theoretical and numerical points of view. This class of fluids has been extensively studied with the help of classical numerical methods. In this paper we propose a new approach based on ...
We present the material, spatial, and convective representations for elasticity and fluids with a free boundary from the Lagrangian reduction point of view, using the material and spatial symmetries of these systems. The associated constrained variational ...
We formulate Euler-Poincare and Lagrange-Poincare equations for systems with broken symmetry. We specialize the general theory to present explicit equations of motion for nematic systems, ranging from single nematic molecules to biaxial liquid crystals. Th ...
