Efficient solution of fluid-structure interaction problems in structural dynamics Ghent University
In this project computational methods will be developed that can be used for fluid-structure interaction computations for rather slender and lightweight structures under wind loading conditions. This computational technique will allow for studies of ovalling of silos, flutter of bridges, excitation of flexible pipes by vortex shedding, galopping of cables, U+2026
Gas-Liquid Interface Dynamics in Non-Isothermal Sloshing: Experimental Analysis and Simplified Modeling KU Leuven
The dynamics of a gas-liquid interface stems from a synergy of forces, primarily involving inertia, viscous dissipation, gravity and capillarity. This work focuses on the latter, which arises from the surface tension at the gas-liquid interface and the interactions with the solid surface. This phenomenon impacts many industrial applications, such as coating, inkjet printing, oil recovery, microfluidics, and medical laboratory-on-a-chip ...
Advanced hybrid approaches for dynamic load identification on lifetime critical components in rotating machinery - with special focus on wind turbine dynamics KU Leuven
‘Multiscale understanding of the dynamics of frying-induced water and oil transport in porous foods’ KU Leuven
Complex heat, oil and water transfers occur during food frying. Concerns over the high caloric content of fried food bring about the challenge to minimize oil uptake during the process without compromising product quality. When more moisture evaporates during frying, more oil is taken up by the food. The aim is to build and validate a mathematical model describing the dynamics of frying-induced water loss and oil uptake in porous food ...
Combination of Molecular Dynamics and Quantitative Structure Enantioselective Relationships (QSER) models to elucidate enantiorecognition mechanisms on polysaccharide and antibiotic based chiral selectors Vrije Universiteit Brussel
properties. Since one enantiomer in a racemic mixture can be
ineffective or toxic, strict guidelines are defined for the development
of a chiral drug, strongly favouring enantiopure drugs. For this
reason, the separation of chiral drug molecules is an intensively
studied domain, and the separations are mostly performed using
chromatographic ...

Visualization, Modelling and Computation Based Process Intensification of CO2 capture Ghent University
This project focus on the understanding of gas-liquid mass transfer and the development of a gas-liquid vortex unit in the CO2 context. Fundamental experiments combined and numerical simulations can bring its design and efficiency to an unprecedented level. Therefore, advanced visualization technologies and novel numerical simulation methods will be used or developed to reveal and understand the mass transfer process between gas and liquid ...
