Standard and enhanced (BBAR or EAS) low order finite elements applied to the problem of consolidation of two-phase nonlinear continua do not satisfy the LBB condition when the same interpolation functions are used for both displacement and pore pressure fi ...
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 ...
Epitaxial Laser Metal Forming (E-LMF) consists in impinging a jet of metallic powder onto a molten pool formed by controlled laser heating and thereby, generating epitaxially a single crystal deposit onto a single crystal substrate. It is a near net-shape ...
Protrusion, the first step of cell migration, is driven by actin polymerization coupled to adhesion at the cell's leading edge. Polymerization and adhesive forces have been estimated, but the net protrusion force has not been measured accurately. We arrest ...
This paper presents the application of spectral element methods to simulate the time-dependent flow of viscoelastic fluids in non-trivial geometries using a closed-form differential constitutive equation. As an example, results relative to the flow of a FE ...
The author discusses the development of mathematical models for the flow of blood in the human circulatory system. By necessity, such a model of a living system must include several simplifications, ignore some factors, and make several assumptions. This i ...
The deformation-induced macrosegregation in continuous casting of steel has been simulated using a finite-volume scheme. For that purpose, a two-dimensional heat-flow computation was first performed in a Eulerian reference frame attached to the mold, assum ...
We consider the incompressible, isothermal and inertialess flow of an Oldroyd-B viscoelastic fluid in the absence of body forces. We report numerical results on the simulation of unsteady flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid by spectral element methods. Several tech ...
This work addresses two ways of loading proteins on microchannel surfaces for immunoassay applications: the “stop-flow” and the continuous flow processes. The “stop-flow” method consists of successive static incubation periods where the bulk solution deple ...
This paper constitutes the numerical counterpart of the mathematical framework introduced in Part I. We address the problem of flutter analysis of a coupled fluid–structure system involving an incompressible Newtonian fluid and a reduced structure. We use ...
