The focus of this proposal is the transfer of mathematical knowledge to other areas of science, technology and industry, through a structured research center specially tailored for this purpose. All mathematical knowledge is ultimately applicable, if not directly, through other areas of knowledge. In some areas the application of mathematics is almost immediate. However, the practical imp…
Potential sources of hazardous pollutants are numerous. In natural systems we can mention volcano eruptions, sand and dust storms, toxic gas emission from volcanic lakes, sediments deposition in estuaries, etc. In the human category, origins of aerosol and pollutants range from everyday pollution (industry, transports, etc.) and human emitted particles (sneezing, coughing) to real catastr…
The main goal of this proposal is to transfer for the Health System innovative medical applications oriented to computer-aided diagnosis, treatment, surgical planning, training and medical supportive decisions. The National Institute of Science and Technology in Medicine Assisted by Scientific Computing (INCT-MACC) has since 2008 successfully integrated a knowledge network for modern comm…
This project adresses the development of mathematical models and methods for the simulation of microscopic interfacial phenomena. The focus of the study will be in the current mathematical-numerical challenges that delay the scientific virtual exploration of biochemical devices and hydrodynamic phenomena at the scale of the living cell. The objective is to contribute to the advancement of…

This Phd research project propose the study of finite element methods for dynamic meshes, intending to simulate multiphase flows, specially those happening in dense-packed layer of droplets. Such flows are inherent to oilindustry applications, specially in the modeling of phase separation devices. The equations modeling such fluid flows will be discretized in an arbitrary Lagrangian-Euler…
Turbidity currents are one of the main mechanisms for sediment transport into the deep ocean. The hydrodynamics involved in field scale turbidity currents leads to very complex, multi-phase, multi-scale physical phenomena. A comprehensive understanding of the interconnection between the processes at the macroscopic and microscopic levels is mandatory for accurate predictions. Highly-resol…
Recent advances in scientific computing have enabled the study of realistic 3D problems in a timely manner. At the macroscopic level, the acquisition of high resolution medical images has made possible the reconstruction of patient-specific models of cerebral aneurysms, human brain vascular structures, lungs, kidneys, etc. These models provide detailed information about patient-specific …

This project aims at developing advanced models for multiphase flow that account for cavitation effects in liquids with a disperse gas phase. The modeling framework to be developed is basedon an Eulerian multifluid and multigroup approach for the polydisperse bubble-liquidmixture, coupled with the Rayleigh-Plesset equation for the individual bubble dynamics. The host researcher (Prof. Car…
The proposed stage aims at participating of the design of microfluidic devices thatcapture E. Coli bacteria for the fast analysis of antimicrobial susceptibility means.An ongoing project at University of York has already fabricated a first generation ofsuch devices, in which multiple rows of micro-sized, u-shaped traps are placed inan array. The trapping efficiency of this first design ha…
