PICS Colloquium: “The Virtual Pregnancy: Using Computational Models to Probe Human Reproduction”
Preterm birth affects approximately ten percent of pregnancies and rates of maternal mortality in the US are rising. Computational investigations of pregnancy have great potential to explore fundamental aspects […]
MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Data-Driven Model Discovery for Non-Equilibrium Phenomena: Unraveling Continuum Behavior from Stochastic Dynamics”
Non-equilibrium phenomena are ubiquitous across material systems and of great technological relevance. Examples of such phenomena include diffusion processes in liquid and gases, viscoelasticity and plasticity in solids, and rheological […]
MEAM Seminar: “Wall-modeled LES of 3-D Turbulent Boundary Layer with Emphasis on Grid Independency”
The capability to predict high-Reynolds-number turbulent flows is essential for many natural and engineering flows such as external aerodynamics (wind turbines, aircraft wings), hydrodynamics (the hull of marine vehicles) and […]
PICS Colloquium: “Bridging scales in aerosol modeling with particle-resolved simulations”
The aerosol lifecycle consists of processes that act on the micro-scale, yet the aerosols’ climate impacts are perceived on regional or global scales. Capturing this multiscale nature of the atmospheric […]
MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Towards Digital Twins for Cardiovascular Flows: A Hybrid Machine Learning and Computational Fluid Dynamics Approach”
To design personalized treatment strategies, a number of measurable quantities (biomarkers) that relate a patient’s clinical representation to the existence, progress, and outcome of a disease need to be identified […]
MEAM Seminar: “Wall-modeled Large-eddy Simulation of the Turbulent Boundary Layer with Mean-flow Three-dimensionality”
The capability to predict high-Reynolds-number turbulent flows is essential for many natural and engineering flows such as external aerodynamics of wind turbines and aircraft wings, flow over the hull of […]
