Course/seminar

The Fukushima and Chernobyl disasters tragically illustrated the risks associated with the civilian nuclear industry. In Belgium, there are two nuclear power plants (Doel and Tihange), whilst two others are located near its borders on the banks of the Meuse River (Chooz) and Scheldt Estuary (Borselle). Therefore, quantitative and qualitative understanding involved in the fate and transport of radioactivity in these water systems is required in order to assist emergency responses.

De FlauBERT à Pantagruel : Recherches et Questions sur les Modèles de Langue Écrits, Oraux, Pictographiques et Multimodaux en Français, leur Évaluation et leurs Biais

Abstract :

by Pr. Jean-Charles Régin

This talk focuses on accelerating the design of microfluidic heat sinks via topology optimization of the conjugate heat transfer problem. The computational bottleneck of this iterative process is the numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes (NS) equations due to their nonlinearity. The approach presented in this talk leverages the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) method to develop a Reduced Order Model (ROM) for the NS equations including a Brinkman term.

The welfare cost of social pressure

Abstract :

The ambitious goal of reaching net-zero emissions in aviation by 2050 can only be met by science-based disruptive innovations, including those that have the potential to reduce aircraft structural weight. Based on the hypothesis that composite materials and structures are currently not used to their full potential, a new approach for the inverse design of composite materials and structures across different spatial scales will be presented.
