We present a discontinuous Galerkin method on a fully unstructured grid for the modeling of unsteady incompressible fluid flows with free surfaces. The surface is modeled by embedding and represented by a level set. We discuss the discretization of the flo ...
A numerical method for the simulation of the motion of a glacier in two and three dimensions is presented. Glacier ice is treated as an incompressible viscous fluid. The model equations are based on mass, momentum, energy conservation and a specific rheolo ...
This paper presents a review of the mathematical models which can be adopted to describe the different physical phenomena characterizing the flow around a sailing yacht. The complete model accounting for laminar-turbulent transition regime, free-surface dy ...
Large-eddy simulation (LES) of atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) flow is performed over a homogeneous surface with different heat flux forcings. The goal is to test the performance of dynamic subgrid-scale models in a numerical framework and to compare the ...
D. functional theory (DFT) has progressively emerged in the last 40 years as a leading methodol. for the modeling and simulation of chem. systems. In this paper, some historical landmarks in the development of this method are outlined, emphasizing on its m ...
This dissertation addresses the adsorption of proteins in microchannels with the aim of improving the result of an immunoassay. To observe the adsorption of fluorescently labelled immunoglobulins G in laser ablated polymer microchannels, a confocal microsc ...
PHWAT is a new model that couples a geochemical reaction model (PHREEQC-2) with a density-dependent groundwater flow and solute transport model (SEAWAT) using the split- operator approach. PHWAT was developed to simulate multi- component reactive transport ...
Modeling and simulation of dynamic systems with a separation of time-scales leads naturally to sing ular perturbation models. For systems of PDEs in time and one spatial dimension, the corresponding quasi-steady-state models yields a reduced set of PDEs (s ...
This paper presents methods for the parameter identification of a model of subtilin production by Bacillus subtilis. Based on a stochastic hybrid model, identification is split in two subproblems: estimation of the genetic network regulating subtilin produ ...
The aim of the paper is to present the results of investigations conducted on the free surface flow in a Pelton turbine model bucket. Unsteady numerical simulations, based on the two-phase homogeneous model, are performed together with wall pressure measur ...
