Currently, safety analyses mostly rely on codes which solve both the neutronics and thermal-hydraulics with assembly-wise nodes resolution as multiphysics heterogeneous transport solvers are still too time memory expensive. The pin-by-pin homogenized can be seen a bridge between traditional nodal calculations. In this work, simplified solver Tortin has been coupled sub-channel code COBRA-TF. ve...

Water is the dominant ingredient of cells and its dynamics are crucial to life. We and others have suggested a physical picture of the cell as a soft, fluid-infiltrated sponge, surrounded by a water-permeable barrier. To understand water movements in an animal cell, we imposed an external, inhomogeneous osmotic stress on cultured cancer cells. This forced water through the membrane on one side,...

In environmental flood management, an essential task is to improve channel conveyance using environmentally preferable methods, which aim to preserve natural morphological and hydraulic characteristics of a river. This requires a reliable channel design method that accounts for complex hydraulics, i.e. two-stage channel or considerable bank vegetation. Hydraulic field measurements were carried ...

The physical habitat that controls ecosystem functioning is determined by local hydraulics and channel morphology. Hydraulic field studies were conducted in a boreal stream 1) to test the hypothesis that the local hydraulic conditions are determined by cross-sectional geometry and flow resistance in boreal conditions by analysing the relationship between flow velocities, cross-sectional geometr...

The development of a fully coupled and parallel hydraulics, sediment, and wave model for simulation of physical marine processes has impact on many national defense and security operations. This report describes the development of a parallel version of a combined hydraulics and sediment model a key component for the fully coupled model. The parallel version of the coupled hydraulics and sedimen...
