1. Interfacial phenomena
- Nonlinear analysis of fluid flow with free and moving boundaries
- Stability and Dynamic analysis of liquid films over solid and liquid substrates
Indicative applications:
- Determination of conditions leading to different flow patterns (trickling, pulsing, spray, bubble) in packed beds.
- Motion, interaction, coagulation and removal of drops and bubbles from their suspensions in Newtonian and nonNewtonian liquids
- Film flow of micro-structured liquids over solid substrates with variable topography.
- Cavitation and fibrillation during the extensional flow and the probe test of adhesive (polymeric) materials
2. Fluid Mechanics and Transport Phenomena applied in the production of new materials
- Operation limits and dynamics of processes used in the fabrication of polymeric, ceramic and electronic materials.
Indicative applications:
- Study of the Film-Blowing process for the production of thin polymeric films.
- Study of polymer extrusion to determine the conditions leading to unacceptable deformation of their surface and variation of their thickness.
- Study of the Blow-Molding process for the production of plastic containers
- Study of the Spin-Coating Process for the production of electronic storage devices
- Fabrication of new materials by Chemical Vapor Infiltration & Chemical Vapor Deposition.
3. Applied mathematics and computational Analysis
- Computer-aided process and stability analysis based on bifurcation theory.
- Development of modern computational methods combining Finite Elements, Boundary Elements, Spectral Elements, Finite Differences etc. and their optimization depending on the application
- Singular perturbation methods using symbolic manipulators.
