Why one-size-fits-all vaso-modulatory interventions fail to control glioma invasion: In silico insights
(2016)
Gliomas are highly invasive brain tumours characterised by poor prognosis and limited response to therapy. There is an ongoing debate on the therapeutic potential of vaso-modulatory interventions against glioma invasion. ...
Solid Tumors Are Poroelastic Solids with a Chemo-mechanical Feedback on Growth
(2017)
The experimental evidence that a feedback exists between growth and stress in tumors poses challenging questions. First, the rheological properties (the “constitutive equations”) of aggregates of malignant cells are still ...
Steady Herschel-Bulkley fluid flow in three-dimensional expansions
(2001)
In this paper we study steady flow of Herschel-Bulkley fluids in a canonical three-dimensional expansion. The fluid behavior was modeled using a regularized continuous constitutive relation, and the flow was obtained ...
Transient planar squeeze flow of semi-concentrated fiber suspensions using the Dinh-Armstrong model
(2007)
Numerical simulations are undertaken for the transient squeeze flow between parallel plates under a constant load. The conservation equations are solved via the finite element method in space and the Crank-Nicolson method ...
Molecular simulation of water in carbon nanotubes
(2008)
The motion of water in carbon nanotubes (CNT) by numerical procedures is calculated through molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies. The Lennard-Jones potential is a simple MD simulations technique, which combines ...
Flow instabilities of Herschel-Bulkley fluids
(2003)
We investigate numerically the interactions of two-dimensional jets of Bingham plastic and Herschel-Bulkley fluids with a vertical surface at a distance from the die exit. This problem simulates the early stages of filling ...
Molecular dynamic simulations of carbon nanotubes in CO2 atmosphere
(2008)
This work investigates by means of molecular dynamics the filling of carbon nanotubes by carbon dioxide molecules. Nanotubes of various sizes are simulated and the resulting CO2 density calculated. The effects of various ...
Particle-fluid dynamics under variable gravity conditions

Crystals grown from specially prepared liquid solutions have important industrial applications. The efficiency of these crystals is usually a function of their size. Therefore, during the synthesis of the crystals, it is ...
