PICS Seminar: “Computational fluid dynamics for slurry rheology in flow battery and underlying drag-reduction mechanisms in turbulent flow control”
Email jnespos@seas.upenn.edu for the Zoom link. This talk will start by introducing diverse fluid-mechanics research conducted in the Park research group, including complex fluids, electrokinetics, biofluids, transition-to-turbulence, and turbulent flow. […]
PICS Seminar: “A Non-local Plasticity Model for Porous Metals with Deformation-induced Anisotropy: Mathematical and Computational Issues”
A non-local (gradient) plasticity model for porous metals that accounts for deformation-induced anisotropy is presented. The model is based on the work of Ponte Castañeda and co-workers on porous materials […]
PICS Colloquium: “Computation of Flow-Induced Sound at Low Mach Numbers”
Abstract: Flow-induced noise is a significant problem for air, road and marine vehicles as well as many other engineering applications. At low Mach numbers, large disparities in energy levels and […]
PICS Colloquium: “Group-Theoretic Approach for Nonlinear Problems in Mechanics with High Symmetry Avoids Use of Imperfections”
Many interesting problems in nonlinear mechanics, from classical to more recent, pertain to applications with high initial symmetry: from the buckling of thin walled structures to the morphing in architected […]
PICS Colloquium: “From Molecular Vibrations to Solvation, Protein Dynamics and Models of the Cytoplasm”
Abstract: Vibrational spectroscopies at mid-infrared frequencies provide excellent probes to characterize functional groups and their immediate chemical environment. However, from a thermodynamic and dynamic point of view, only the ground […]
MEAM Seminar: “Open Access Benchmark Datasets and Metamodels for Problems in Mechanics”
Metamodels, or models of models, map defined model inputs to defined model outputs. When metamodels are constructed to be computationally cheap, they are an invaluable tool for applications ranging from […]
MEAM Seminar: “Disease Indicator Prediction in Vascular Flows via Physics-Informed Deep Learning”
Unlike diseases with strong genetic predisposition, such as cancer, there exist no accurate personalized diagnostic tools for disorders such as Hypertensive Pregnancy Disorders (HPD) and its mechanism remain understudied. For […]
PICS Colloquium “The Dynamics of Gas-Particle Partitioning: Insights from Laboratory, Field, and Modeling studies”
Abstract: Ultrafine aerosols can significantly influence Earth’s climate if they are able to grow to sizes large enough to interact with the incoming solar radiation and nucleate cloud droplets. In […]
PICS Colloquium: “Transforming Healthcare from the Outside: the OBSERVER project”
We live with a health care system that has evolved into an increasingly fragmented, primarily treatment-oriented, and now heavily burdened environment. More importantly, issues related to privacy, space, and disease […]
PICS Colloquium: “Mechanics of Polymeric Gels”
This talk discusses recent and ongoing research on the multiphysics response of polymeric gels. A polymeric gel is a polymeric material swollen by a fluid, and the intake or out-flow […]
