2. 1. Multiphase continuum modeling of wood : A hybrid mixture theory approach

   Author : Winston Mmari; Björn Johannesson; Lynn Schreyer; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Moisture transport; Coupled heat and moisture; Over-hygroscopic; Hybrid mixture theory; Mixture theory; Swelling; Hygro-mechanical; Non-linear elasticity; Large deformation; Phase field crack model; Anisotropic cracking; FEM; Numerical model; Norway spruce; Wood; Porous media; Forestry and Wood Technology; Skog och träteknik;

   Abstract : Wood has been used as a construction material for a very long time. The development of efficient industrial production processes of wood has expanded the use of the material with the introduction of new products, such as engineered wood products. READ MORE

4. 2. Continuum Percolation in non-Euclidean Spaces

   Author : Johan Tykesson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bernoulli percolation; continuum percolation; dependent percolation; double phase transition; hyperbolic space; Poisson Boolean model; geodesic percolation; continuum percolation;

   Abstract : In this thesis we first consider the Poisson Boolean model of continuum percolation in $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space ${\mathbb H}^n$. Let $R$ be the radius of the balls in the model, and $\lambda$ the intensity of the underlying Poisson process. READ MORE

5. 3. Modelling phase separation in Fe-Cr alloys : A continuum approach

   Author : Thomas Barkar; John Ågren; Nele Moelans; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Phase separation; spinodal decomposition; nucleation; diffusion; thermodynamics; kinetics; steel; ferritic;

   Abstract : The formation of Cr-rich and Fe-rich domains upon ageing of an initially homogeneous Fe-Cr alloy at elevated temperatures (300-600 ºC) is commonly referred to as phase separation. The behaviour originates from a miscibility gap in the Fe-Cr phase diagram. READ MORE

6. 4. A Realizable Hybrid Mixture-Bubble Model for Cavitating Flows

   Author : Ebrahim Ghahramani; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Multi-scale model; Homogeneous mixture model; Cavitation; Disperse multiphase flow; Eulerian-Lagrangian model; OpenFOAM;

   Abstract : Cavitating multi-phase flows include an extensive range of cavity structures with different length scales, from micro bubbles to large sheet cavities that may fully cover the surface of a device. To avoid high computational expenses, incompressible transport equation models are considered a practical option for simulation of large scale cavitating flows, normally with limited representation of the small scale vapour structures.

7. 5. Continuum modelling of particle flows in high shear granulation

   Author : Per Abrahamsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; parameter study; High shear granulation; continuum modelling; resolution dependence; granular flow; compartment model; kinetic theory of granular flow;

   Abstract : High shear granulation is an important process in the pharmaceutical industry. The aim of the process is to produce granules with specific properties, like size and hardness, from powder mixtures. The properties of the granules are determined by the flow field in the mixer. READ MORE
