Projective integration for hyperbolic conservation laws and multiscale kinetic equations KU Leuven
Virtually all applications in science and engineering exhibit a multiscale structure, in which the constituting processes evolve on different temporal or spatial scales. In most cases, however, the engineer or scientist is only interested in extracting information on the system on a macroscopic (human-level) scale. In this regard, throughout the years, a lot of effort has been put in the development of phenomenological, macroscopic models ...
A multiscale experimental/modeling approach for the study of porous electrodes in lithium-ion batteries (MAPBAT) Hasselt University
Centre of Excellence in exascale-oriented application co-design and delivery for multiscale simulations Ghent University
The MultiXscale Centre of Excellence will increase performance, productivity and portability (“the Three P's”) across the entire spectrum of scientists active in the domain of multiscale simulation. It couples the scientific expertise of the CECAM network, represented by leading experts in multiscale simulations from different European institutions, with the technical expertise of the EESSI collaboration, and targets the computational ...
Multiscale experimental and numerical characterisation of textile reinforcements for enhanced nano-interleaved composites Ghent University
The unique combination of light and flexible, but strong structures, makes textile materials well suited for technical engineering applications. Especially, fibre reinforced composites are seeing a tremendous growth for designing light-weight structural components. The fibres, the building blocks of any textile, and their arrangement in the composite (microstructure) determine the obtainable mechanical properties. It is thus of utmost ...
OPTIMA: PrOcess intensification and innovation in olefin ProducTion by Multiscale Analysis and design Ghent University
New manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing have the potential to drastically transform the chemical industry.
Novel, complex, integrated reactor designs can now be created, that will allow to unlock alternative chemical
routes, such as for methane activation. Driven by process intensification and the power of high performance
computing, this project will enhance heat and mass transfer in advanced chemical ...
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 ...
Development of an optimized multiscale model for the simulation of metalworking processes. KU Leuven
Interlaminar Fracture of Fiber-Hybrid Composite Laminates: A Multiscale Approach KU Leuven
Lightweight structures are becoming increasingly essential to meet global emission regulations. Fiber-reinforced composites (FRPs) constitute a highly profitable and fast-growing market for the EU. Their high stiffness and strength and design flexibility enable designing lightweight structures with a low carbon footprint. In contrast, two main drawbacks hinder their industrial exploitation: poor delamination resistance and limited design ...
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.
