Research Area: Fundamental fluid dynamics with an emphasis on non-linear and multi-scale systems.
Model Generation is a new modeling paradigm designed specifically for rapid modeling of large multi-scale systems in the industrial practice.
Consequently, the demand for novel methodologies, which enable scale-correlated analysis, increases in order to describe a hierarchy of multi-scale systems in various length and time scales.
We apply a multi-scale systems engineering framework to discover or identify highly selective, feasible and cost-effective zeolites for pressure swing adsorption (PSA -based H2S sePSA -based
Tests were conducted to evaluate to what extent these smart materials, when embedded in multi-scale systems from construction components, to buildings, to a community, would enhance total urban energy performance.
Certain types of structures and materials, such as engineered multi-scale systems and comminuted zones in failed ceramics, may be modeled using continuum theories incorporating additional kinematic degrees of freedom beyond the scope of classical continuum theories.
Products with macro- and meso-scales components have grown into multi-scale systems where some of their components have shrunk to a smaller scale such as micro- and nano-structures.
While the discovery of both new zeolites and process configurations is enabled through the proposed multi-scale systems approach, the findings depend on sound molecular models and call for experimental validation.
In practice, engineers may be unable to accurately assess their designs to improve the reliability of components in multi-scale systems, because component parts with micro- and nano-structures cannot be realized directly in system design phase.
An overview of multi-parametric programming and control is presented with emphasis on historical milestones, novel developments in the theory of multi-parametric programming and explicit MPC as well as their application to the design of advanced controller for complex multi-scale systems.
Complexity issues in the ecological aspects of chemical engineering are of two kinds: the mutual interactions of many multi-scale systems and the lack of consilience in the objectives of different disciplines that consider the economic, philosophical, cultural, and scientific and engineering aspects, respectively.
