Induction hardening of steel: mathematical and numerical modelling Ghent University
The aim of this project is a theoretical and numerical study of various mathematical models of induction hardening of steel. A ferromagnetic material by heating above the Currie temperature changes into a paramagnetic one. The behavior of the system (thermal and electromagnetic) is highly nonlinear and the standar numerical schemes are unstable. The problem will be investigated and new robust and efficient numerical techniques for solving ...
Scientific support mathematical modelling of ship manoeuvring behaviour due to currents and wind forces on ships Ghent University
The ship manoeuvring simulators of Flanders Hydraulics Research (FHR) are used as a policy-supporting instrument (study and advice) and as a training installation for nautical experts. Both applications require realistic simulation models. Such manoeuvring models are developed by the FHR and describe the hull, propeller and rudder forces at various under keel clearances in a horizontally unrestricted environment. The manoeuvring models are ...

Scientific assistance in mathematical modeling maneuvering behavior of Class VI push convoys Ghent University
This contract involves the supply of scientific assistance to produce a mathematical manoeuvreermodel for stululeren the behavior of eenklasse VI duwvaart convoy (4x4 arrangement) in a ship maneuvering. The mathematical model is to be derived on the basis of model tests in the towing tank for maneuvers in shallow water of the Hydraulic Laboratory.
Mathematical modeling of nuclei as pacemakers of cell cycle oscillations KU Leuven
In this project the student will theoretically analyze how cell division is spatially and temporally coordinated. Using computational modeling, the student will first uncover how multiple functional motifs (such as bistable switches) can optimally work together to create different desired cell responses in time. Second, the student will develop models to show how the cell cycle is dynamically coordinated in space. Special attention will be ...

Improving the efficiency of anaerobic digestion through ultrasonic digestate disintegration: parameter evaluation, advanced mathematical modeling and evaluation of a two-digester system. KU Leuven
Anaerobic digestion is a biological process that converts organic wastes into energy rich biogas and nutrient rich digestate. The produced biogas can be valorised on site as electricity and heat, or it can be upgraded into methane and used in existing methane grids or used as transportation fuel. The hydrolysis step is generally regarded as the rate-limiting step of anaerobic digestion. In this research, the effect digestate disintegration ...

Scientific assistence in the preparations of mathematical maneuvering models for ships Ghent University
The acquisition of data on the manoeuvring behaviour of ships (by means of towing tank research, CFD, or full scale measurements), the creation of mathematical models and the performance of simulation studies are the core tasks of the Nautica team at Flanders Hydraulics Research. Years of experience have been built up in this field and there is sufficient insight into the strengths and weaknesses of mathematical modelling. Within the core ...
