Wetting Dynamics of Liquid Polymers KU Leuven
"Everything flows and nothing abides". This quote from the Greek philosopher Heraclitus is the motto of a branch of science and technology called "dynamic wetting". To be specific, when a liquid is placed in contact with a solid substrate, the liquid front advances spontaneously towards equilibrium due to the out-of-balance Young’s force. As the liquid spreads, the dynamic contact angle relaxes to equilibrium state. In this framework, this ...
Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Reactive Wetting of Liquid Aluminium on Solid Nickel Substrate KU Leuven
In this dissertation, Molecular Dynamics simulations were used to thoroughly analyze the wetting behavior of liquid Aluminum (Al) droplet on solid Nickel (Ni) substrate with and without the presence of Oxygen from the beginning of the process until it cooled down. Oxygen could have a huge impact on wetting behavior. For instance, at relatively high Oxygen content, solid O-rich clusters are formed at the surface of Aluminum liquid. Results ...
Capillary instability and interface dynamics of wetting states in binary mixtures of ultra-cold gases. KU Leuven
Research in the context of bilateral cooperation with Vietnam on the capillary instability and interface dynamics of wetting states in binary mixtures of ultra-high gases.
The assessment of virome composition and dynamic in blood transfusion setting KU Leuven
Support in getting insights in SARS-CoV-2 transmission dynamics in Brussels region and support the detection of clusters Institute of Tropical Medicine

2) Report on the call centre data and contact tracing performance indicators, to help identify necessary improvements in data collection for epidemiological insights, description and identification of clusters.
3) Conduct in-depth analyses of ...
Context Aware Anomaly Detection in Dynamic Industrial Settings KU Leuven
An increasing number of industrial machines and processes is being monitored by a variety of sensors. The continuous analysis of these measured parameters enables the identification of rare observations, which are often connected to an underlying problem with the equipment. This in turn can trigger a rectifying configuration or maintenance intervention. Consequently, identifying such events in a timely, robust and accurate way is of utmost ...
Context-aware adaptive and continual learning for anomaly detection in dynamic industrial settings KU Leuven
Modeling the dynamic cutting behavior of a cutter suction dredger in hard rock types KU Leuven
In order to allow the new Super Post Panamax ships (19000 TEU, 16 m draft) a greater draft is needed in ports and access channels. The realization of these larger depths requires dredging, whereby soil under water is removed. Geologically speaking, however, deeper often means harder. Recent experience shows that the number of projects is increasing where hard to very hard rock has to be dredged. The cutter suction dredger is the ultimate ...
