Choline chloride + levulinic acid deep eutectic solvent is studied as a suitable material for CO2 capturing purposes. The most relevant physicochemical properties of this solvent are reported together with the CO2 solubility as a function of temperature. The corrosivity of this solvent is studied showing better performance than amine-based solvents. A theoretical study using both density functi...

To successfully interact with users in providing useful information, intelligent user interfaces need a mechanism for recognizing, characterizing, and predicting user actions. In particular, it is our interest to develop the mechanism for recognizing and predicting simple user intentions, i.e., an activity involves in using particular resources. Much work to date in adaptive user interfaces has...

This paper presents a method for modelling interfacial mass transfer in Interface Capturing simulations of two-phase flow with phase change. The model enables mechanistic prediction the local rate change at vapour-liquid interface on arbitrary computational meshes and is applicable to realistic cases involving mixtures large density ratios. simulation methodology based Volume Of Fluid (VOF) rep...

Level Set and Phase Field methods are well-known interface-capturing techniques for approximation of moving interfaces. In the first part of this project, a recently developed sharp-interface phase-field method [1] is implemented in Matlab and used to implicitly capture normal interface motion and interface advection by an external velocity field. The interface evolution equation is solved nume...

This paper is concerned with numerical methods for twophase incompressible flows assuming a sharp interface model for interfacial stresses. Standard continuum models for the fluid dynamics in the bulk phases, for mass transport of a solute between the phases and for surfactant transport on the interface are given. We review some recently developed finite element methods for the appropriate disc...

This review paper describes novel biointerfaces for nanobiodevices. Biocompatible and non-biofouling surfaces are designed largely based on cell membrane structure, and the preparation and functioning of the bioinspired interface are evaluated and compared between living and artificial systems. A molecular assembly of polymers with a phospholipid polar group has been developed as the platform o...

In this paper, we proposed a central moment discrete unified gas-kinetic scheme (DUGKS) for multiphase flows with large density ratio and high Reynolds number. Two sets of kinetic equations central-moment-based multiple relaxation time collision operator are employed to approximate the incompressible Navier-Stokes conservative phase field equation interface-capturing, respectively. framework DU...
