We present a three-dimensional framework for the transport of neutral solute through soft biological tissue, such as the articular cartilage, under different mechanical loading conditions. The tissue is modelled as a mixture of three phases, a hyperelastic, anisotropic solid matrix, an incompressible inviscid fluid and a solute. The formulation accounts for the anisotropic interaction between t...

We address the investigation of the solvation properties of the minimal orientational model for water originally proposed by [Bell and Lavis, J. Phys. A 3, 568 (1970)]. The model presents two liquid phases separated by a critical line. The difference between the two phases is the presence of structure in the liquid of lower density, described through the orientational order of particles. We hav...

The transient storage model (TSM) has been widely used in studies of stream solute transport and fate, with an increasing emphasis on reactive solute transport. In this study we perform sensitivity analyses of a conservative TSM and two different reactive solute transport models (RSTM), one that includes first-order decay in the stream and the storage zone, and a second that considers sorption ...

Abstract Poly-parameter Linear Free Energy Relationships (PPLFERs) based on the Abraham solvation model are a useful tool for predicting and interpreting equilibrium partitioning of solutes in solvent systems. The focus this work is neutral organic liquid solvent-air This follow-up to previous (Brown, 2021) which developed predictive empirical correlations between solute descriptors system para...

Abstract We provide a reliable and efficient methodological framework for the interpretation of laboratory‐scale partitioning tracer test data under uncertainty. The proposed approach rests on Time domain random walk (TDRW) particle tracking methodology. range applicability latter is extended to include transport tracers upon considering retardation trapping mechanisms. A classical maximum like...

Estimation of soil hydraulic and solute transport parameters is important to provide input parameters for numerical models simulating transient water ̄ow and solute transport in the vadose zone. The Levenberg±Marquardt optimization algorithm in combination with the HYDRUS-1D numerical code was used to inversely estimate unsaturated soil-hydraulic and solute transport parameters from transient m...

Knowledge of phase transformation kinetics is a key point in designing steel grades, particular modern high-performance highly sought-after energy and transportation applications. The design space for these grades multi-dimensional given the numerous potential alloying elements. characterization techniques that are usually relied on to assess kinetics, such as metallography or dilatometry, time...

Abstract The experimental values of skin permeability coefficients, required for dermal exposure assessment, are not readily available many chemicals. existing estimation approaches either less accurate or require parameters that available. Furthermore, current methods easy to apply complex environmental mixtures. We present two models estimate the coefficients neutral organic first model, refe...

As glaciers around the world rapidly lose mass, tight coupling between and downstream ecosystems is resulting in widespread impacts on global hydrologic biogeochemical cycling. However, a range of challenges make it difficult to conduct research glacierized systems, our knowledge seasonally changing processes solute sources signatures limited. This turn hampers ability predictions composition f...
