Mathematical models, along with scientific theory and practical experiments, are a crucial part of modern engineering and science. The author takes a look at the role mathematical models play in topics ranging from vascular simulation to weather forecastin ...
We have studied self-coordinated transportation systems using SU-8 microstructures in open microchannels and here present a stochastic model for the bacteria-driven microbarge that is designed to mimic the motion of this system with and without chemical gr ...
This paper introduces a mathematical model to evaluate fast and cost-effective 3D image sensors based on single photon detectors. The model will help engineers evaluate design parameters based on operating conditions and system performance. Ranging is base ...
At the offset of a (stochastic) epidemic, it is of importance to have a mathematical model that will assist in the making of an informed judgement on whether the epidemic will explode, or will be minor and die out. In this paper, we consider probabilistic ...
A novel adsorber with a structured fixed-bed made of sintered metal fibres (SMF) plates has been developed for purification of low-content VOCs gas-streams. The surface of the metal fibres was coated by a thin, homogeneous MFI-type (ZSM-5, Silicalite-1) ze ...
Snow avalanches are rapid, gravity-driven, mass flows involving snow, air, and sometimes debris (logs, stones, etc.). Two idealized types of avalanches are usually considered when one is interested in describing their motion. ...
The aim of this work is to set up mathematical models and numerical methods to investigate the mass transfer process occurring during the peritoneal dialysis (PD) therapy. More precisely the final goal is the set up of tools to find for each patient submit ...
Over the last decades, battles for technological dominance between competing and incompatible technologies have had a significant impact on competition within many high-tech industries. In this dissertation, we are concerned with the management of such sta ...
We propose to model periodic structures by equivalent multiconductor transmission lines (MTLs). The developed technique is based on a multimodal representation of the periodic structure unit cell, such as required for periodically loaded MTLs and periodica ...
A recent paper reported capillary rise and evaporation experiments in metallic wicks, as well as a mathematical model. The authors found a consistent discrepancy between the model predictions and data: The model over-predicted the capillary height rise by ...
