Metals as future carbon-free energy carriers08 AprThe search for sustainable solutions for the production and transport of energy is essential to ensure Europe's leadership in these sectors. Micrometric metal particles offer a promising source of sustainable energy. Upon ignition, they generate a significant amount of energy without emitting carbon dioxide.En savoir plusMetals as future carbon-free energy carriers08 AprThe search for sustainable solutions for the production and transport of energy is essential to ensure Europe's leadership in these sectors.

Riemann Problem in Gas Dynamics by Vincent Degrooff21 MarThe study of conservation laws leads us to work with hyperbolic PDE's. Such systems can generate discontinuous solutions in finite time from continuous data. Bernhard Riemann was one of the first to investigate these discontinuous solutions in a paper published in 1860.En savoir plusRiemann Problem in Gas Dynamics by Vincent Degrooff21 MarThe study of conservation laws leads us to work with hyperbolic PDE's.

MicroCT and contrast-enhanced microCT imaging to improve treatments for cardiovascular diseases by Lisa Leyssens18 MarCardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease, characterized by the buildup of plaque within the arterial walls causing blood vessel narrowing, and is the primary cause of many cardiovascular diseases.En savoir plusMicroCT and contrast-enhanced microCT imaging to improve treatments for cardiovascular diseases by Lisa Leyssens18 MarCardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death and disability worldwide.

Machine learning approach to close the filtered Two-Fluid model in gas-solid flows: models for filtered drag force and subgrid solid stress by Baptiste HARDY14 MarGas-particle flows are commonly simulated through two-fluid model at industrial-scale. However, these simulations need very fine grid to have accurate flow predictions, which is prohibitively demanding in terms of computational resources.En savoir plusMachine learning approach to close the filtered Two-Fluid model in gas-solid flows: models for filtered drag force and subgrid solid stress by Baptiste HARDY14 MarGas-particle flows are commonly simulated through two-fluid model at industrial-scale.

Quantification of trunk muscle forces through multibody models and non-invasive experimental measurements by Simon Hinnekens05 MarIn biomechanics, spine modelling allows the calculation of intervertebral efforts. The latter reflect the combined effect of spine geometry, spine kinematics and muscle forces. Although the geometry and kinematics of the spine are well known, the estimation of muscle forces is still one of the major challenges in spine modelling.En savoir plusQuantification of trunk muscle forces through multibody models and non-invasive experimental measurements by Simon Hinnekens05 MarIn biomechanics, spine modelling allows the calculation of intervertebral efforts.

River’s processes and flow-biota interactions: lessons learned from the experiments by Donatella TERMINI29 FebGlobal warming leads to an alteration of hydrological cycle, determining more frequent high intensity rainfall events. Alteration of hydrological conditions inevitably leads to river's hydromorphological dynamism, with changes in flow discharge, water level, sediment transport and dispersion processes, affecting the aquatic habitats and biotic communities.En savoir plusRiver’s processes and flow-biota interactions: lessons learned from the experiments by Donatella TERMINI29 FebGlobal warming leads to an alteration of hydrological cycle, determining more frequent high intensity rainfall events.

Turbulent natural convection in an air-water system with evaporation across the free surface by Julien CARLIER28 FebIn this talk, I will present numerical results for turbulent convection in a pool that contains liquid water in the lower part and air in the upper one. The bottom wall is uniformly heated and natural convection is established in both phases, accompanied by water evaporation across the free surface of the water.En savoir plusTurbulent natural convection in an air-water system with evaporation across the free surface by Julien CARLIER28 FebIn this talk, I will present numerical results for turbulent convection in a pool that contains liquid water in the lower part and air in the upper one.

Techno-economic and resource assessment of electrolytic hydrogen and ammonia production23 FebThe primary goal of this PhD thesis has been to identify countries where land and water constraints could prompt the import of hydrogen or its derived carriers instead of relying on domestic production based on inland renewable resources.En savoir plusTechno-economic and resource assessment of electrolytic hydrogen and ammonia production23 FebThe primary goal of this PhD thesis has been to identify countries where land and water constraints could prompt the import of hydrogen or its derived carriers instead of relying on domestic production based on inland renewable resources.

Low Mach number flows: Numerical methods and asymptotic consistency by Václav Kučera22 FebIn computational fluid dynamics, low Mach number flows present an important yet difficult task. These flows live on the border between two completely different worlds - compressible and incompressible - thus presenting considerable challenges for numerical methods.En savoir plusLow Mach number flows: Numerical methods and asymptotic consistency by Václav Kučera22 FebIn computational fluid dynamics, low Mach number flows present an important yet difficult task.
