Unraveling stroke-induced attention deficits by combining computational modeling and brain imaging KU Leuven
Attention helps us to concentrate on what is important and not to get distracted. As such, it pervades what we see, think, remember, do and decide. It comes as no surprise that attention deficits in neurological disorders have a detrimental effect on our daily life. In the context of stroke, these deficits are strongly related to poor recovery. The goal of this project is to unravel attention deficits after stroke and their neural ...
Organization and processing of lexical and semantic respresentaties in bilinguals: word recognition, sentence processing and computational modeling. Ghent University
SBO project with a primary economic finality aimed at the transfer to existing companies: Computational Modelling of Thermo-Elastohydrodynamic Lubricated Contacts Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Computational Modelling of Thermo-Elastohydrodynamic Lubricated Contacts KU Leuven
In current CONTACTLUB project, we envisage to develop reliable, accurate and experimentally well-validated computational models for dynamic Thermo-Elasto-Hydrodynamic Lubricated (TEHL) contacts. Particular focus lies on (i) the dynamic response of TEHL contacts to variable loads and velocities (oscillating motion, vibrations,…) and (ii) the influence of TEHL contact dynamics to structural transmission of vibrations and noise generation in ...
Simulation of gas transport during controlled atmosphere storage of pome fruit using computational fluid dynamics and discrete element modelling KU Leuven
Pear fruit is a major export product of Flanders. To preserve quality after harvest, pears are commonly stored in a controlled atmosphere (CA), in which the oxygen concentration is reduced and carbon dioxide concentration is elevated to minimize respiration. Too low oxygen concentrations, however, lead to fermentative decay. A recent innovation uses dynamic controlled atmosphere (DCA). In DCA the oxygen concentration is dynamically adapted to ...
Computational Modelling of Thermo-Elastohydrodynamic Lubricated Contacts Ghent University
CONTACTLUB will develop reliable, advanced and experimentally validated numerical models and techniques for Thermo-Elastohydrodynamic lubricated (TEHL) contacts, with a specific focus on (i) dynamic response of TEHL contacts in variable loads and speeds (oscillating movements, vibrations, ... ) and (ii) the influence of TEHL contact dynamics on the structural propagation of vibrations and sound in systems that comprises several mechanical ...
Computational methods for modelling the cell cycle as a nonlinear process Ghent University
The aim of this project is the design and development of algorithms for modelling the regulatory cell cycle of plants, in particular Arabidopsis. This is a multidisciplinary project that combines advanced mathematical techniques from dynamical systems theory with computer science methods to study fundamental problems in molecular genetics.
How do stem cells interact with their extracellular matrix mechanically and what are its mechanobiological implications for skeletal tissue engineering? A computational modelling approach informed by in-vitro experiments. KU Leuven
Advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics Modelling of Water Sprays in Fire-Driven Flows Ghent University
Water sprays are known to be an efficient means of fire control and suppression, as demonstrated
by several large-scale and reduced-scale experimental tests. The empirical approach does not
provide though sufficient insight into the complex underlying physics in order to optimize the
efficiency of sprinklers and water mist systems and develop generalized engineering correlations
and/or general design and installation ...
