Modelling mass transfer from a packed bed by fluid extraction
Timothy G. Myers, Abel Valverde, Maria Aguareles +2
A mathematical model describing the erosion or leaching of a solid material by a flowing fluid in a column is developed. This involves an advection-diffusion equation coupled to a…
Magnetic nanodrug delivery in non-Newtonian blood flows
C. Fanelli, K. Kaouri, T. N. Phillips +2
With the goal of determining strategies to maximise drug delivery to a specific site in the body, we developed a mathematical model for the transport of drug nanocarriers (nanopart…
Mathematical modelling of fibre coating
Maria Aguareles, Francesc Font, Tim Myers +1
In this report we formulate and analyse a mathematical model describing the evolution of a thin liquid film coating a wire via an extrusion process. We consider the Navier-Stokes e…
Non-equilibrium molecular dynamics and continuum modelling of transient freezing of atomistic solids
Francesc Font, William Micou, Fernando Bresme
In this work we investigate the transient solidification of a Lennard-Jones liquid using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations and continuum heat transfer theory. The simu…
Modeling cell crawling strategies with a bistable model: From amoeboid to fan-shaped cell motion
E. Moreno, S. Flemming, F. Font +3
Eukaryotic cell motility involves a complex network of interactions between biochemical components and mechanical processes. The cell employs this network to polarize and induce sh…
Nanocrystal growth via the precipitation method
C. Fanelli, V. Cregan, F. Font +1
A mathematical model to describe the growth of an arbitrarily large number of nanocrystals from solution is presented. First, the model for a single particle is developed. By non-d…
Binder migration during drying of lithium-ion battery electrodes: modelling and comparison to experiment
Francesc Font, Bartosz Protas, Giles Richardson +1
The drying process is a crucial step in electrode manufacture as it can affect the component distribution within the electrode. Phenomena such as binder migration can have negative…
A one-phase Stefan problem with size-dependent thermal conductivity
Francesc Font
In this paper a one-phase Stefan problem with size-dependent thermal conductivity is analysed. Approximate solutions to the problem are found via perturbation and numerical methods…
Non-characteristic Half-lives in Radioactive Decay
Alvaro Corral, Francesc Font, Juan Camacho
Half-lives of radionuclides span more than 50 orders of magnitude. We characterize the probability distribution of this broad-range data set at the same time that explore a method…
