Development of metal-organic frameworks based on N-heterocyclic ligands

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have firmly established in the field of porous materials since their early discovery in the 1990s. With a plethora of applications, these materials offer endless possibilities owing to their tunable, modular nature. The vast ...

Porous Nitride Light-Emitting Diodes

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Nuno Amador Mendez, Nicolas Tappy

A porous InGaN/GaN blue light-emitting diode is demonstrated using selective area sublimation. Transmission electron microscopy reveals that the structure is porous down to the Si substrate; however, the porosity is higher in the GaN buffer, while smaller ...

Prediction of crack nucleation and propagation in porous ceramics using the phase-field approach

Arata Nakajo

The relevance of the phase-field approach to simulate the fracture in porous ceramics has been investigated. For this purpose, the conditions for the crack initiation using the phase-field model have been compared to the theoretical predictions of the coup ...

Numerical characterization and engineering of transport in morphologically complex heterogeneous media

Xiaoyu Dai

A multi-scale numerical methodology for the assessment of radiation and optical characteristics of complex structured soot-contaminated snow layers was investigated first. The methodology accounted for the exact morphology at the various scales and utilize ...

On the effect of a penetrating recirculation region on the bifurcations of the flow past a permeable sphere

François Gallaire, Pier Giuseppe Ledda, Giuseppe Antonio Zampogna, Matteo Ciuti

We study the flow past a permeable sphere modeled using homogenization theory. The flow through the porous medium is described by the Darcy law, in which the permeability quantifies the resistance for the fluid to pass through the microstructure. A slip co ...

Simulating Infiltration as a Sequence of Pinning and De-pinning Processes

Andreas Mortensen, William Craig Carter

The infiltration of a non-wetting liquid, such as molten metal, into a porous solid, such as a ceramic preform, is influenced by the wetting angle of the liquid on the solid. The link between local wetting and the minimum pressure required for initiation o ...

Permeability properties of composite reinforcements

Véronique Michaud

Permeability is defined here from the equations of fluid flow through porous media. It represents, for composite reinforcements, a measure for their ease of impregnation by a fluid resin. Modeling of the saturated permeability tensor is presented using a h ...

On the mechanical behavior of expansive porous media with consideration on chemical effects

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Angelica Tuttolomondo

Experimental geomechanics highlights that the mechanical behavior of expansive porous media is variable depending on the pore water chemical composition. These porous media are typically characterized by clay particles, whose activity (Skempton, 1953) (and ...

Development of a novel two-phase flow solver for nuclear reactor analysis: algorithms, verification and implementation in OpenFOAM

Andreas Pautz, Carlo Fiorina, Stefan Radman

A porous medium-based representation of nuclear reactors and complex engineering systems more in general can significantly reduce simulation and modelling costs, while preserving a reasonable degree of accuracy via regime map-based correlations for modelli ...

The Impact of Changes in Resolution on the Persistent Homology of Images

Adélie Eliane Garin

Digital images enable quantitative analysis of material properties at micro and macro length scales, but choosing an appropriate resolution when acquiring the image is challenging. A high resolution means longer image acquisition and larger data requiremen ...
