The ASBM-SA turbulence closure: Taking advantage of structure-based modeling in current engineering CFD codes

Panagiotou, C. F.; Kassinos, Stavros C.; Aupoix, B. (2015)

Structure-based turbulence models (SBM) carry information about the turbulence structure that is needed for the prediction of complex non-equilibrium flows. SBM have been successfully used to predict a number of canonical ...

The contribution of active and inactive structures to the statistics of a turbulent pipe flow

Stylianou, F. S.; Kassinos, Stavros C. (2017)

The current study is a short follow-up to our most recent work (Stylianou et al., 2016), where among other things we have presented an effective criterion suitable for distinguishing large-scale coherent structures with ...

Mathematical modeling of herpes simplex virus distribution in solid tumors: Implications for cancer gene therapy

Mok, W.; Stylianopoulos, T.; Boucher, Y.; Jain, R. K. (2009)

Purpose: Although oncolytic viral vectors show promise for the treatment of various cancers, ineffective initial distribution and propagation throughout the tumor mass often limit the therapeutic response. A mathematical ...

Multistage nanoparticles for improved delivery into tumor tissue

Stylianopoulos, T.; Wong, C.; Bawendi, M. G.; Jain, R. K.; Fukumura, D. (2012)

The enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect has been a key rationale for the development of nanoscale carriers to solid tumors. As a consequence of EPR, nanotherapeutics are expected to improve drug and detection ...
