A multiscale experimental/modeling approach for the study of porous electrodes in lithium-ion batteries (MAPBAT) Hasselt University
Development and application of reactivity force field for multiscale study of nanomaterials based on boron element. KU Leuven
Although molecular dynamics simulations are important techniques in theoretical studies of materials, no reliable force fields are actually available for treatment of the clusters of the elements. Our main objective is therefore to develop a set of highly accurate reactivity force fields and to apply them to multiscale studies of nanomaterials based on boron. The nanomaterials considered include medium and large-size atomic clusters and ...
Developing a multiscale modeling platform for the optimization of radical polymerization Ghent University
A multi-scale modelling platform will be developed for radical polymerisation processes which allows to optimize existing industrial radical polymerization processes and to develop new functional polymeric materials with high tech applications.
Multiscale study of reactive gas injection in pyrometallurgical processes. KU Leuven
Multiscale study of reactive gas injection in pyrometallurgical processes. Ghent University
The goal of this research is to generate fundamental insight into reactive gas-liquid flows for pyrometallurgical gas injection applications through the construction of a multiscale model. The focus will be on the integration of mesoscopic numerical CFD techniques with microscopic thermokinetic models. this will lead to an isothermal mesoscopic model capable of simulating the behavior of one or more gas bubbles, exhibiting the most relevant ...
Elucidating the structure of soft matter fat systems by multiscale analysis approach Ghent University
Fat crystal stabilized water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions are systems used in several industries, including foods, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, hydrocarbons, and coatings, and therefore their study is of great industrial relevance. In order to maintain their structure, these emulsions depend on the combined action of two different phenomena, fat crystallization and water phase dispersion, both of which are intricate mechanisms. Hence, through ...

Multiscale modeling of complex kinetics on metal surfaces: Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis Ghent University
Fischer-Tropsch synthesis offers the possibility to convert coal, natural gas or biomass to high-quality fuels or base chemicals. Complete control of the process is, however, only possible when the complex kinetics that take place on the metal surface are unraveled.
