The venerable theory of electrokinetic phenomena rests on the hypothesis of a dilute
solution of point-like ions in quasi-equilibrium with a weakly charged surface, whose …

This paper reviews the emergence of non-local flow phenomena in granular materials and
discusses a range of models that have been proposed to integrate an intrinsic length-scale …

TRAVIS (“Trajectory Analyzer and Visualizer”) is a program package for post-processing and
analyzing trajectories from molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations, mostly …

Voro++ is a free software library for the computation of three dimensional Voronoi cells. It is
primarily designed for applications in physics and materials science, where the Voronoi …

Soft building blocks, such as micelles, cells or soap bubbles, tend to adopt near-spherical
geometry when densely packed together. As a result, their packing structures do not extend …

The formation mechanism of< 100> interstitial dislocation loops in ferritic steels stemming
from irradiation remains elusive, as their formations are either too short for experiments, or …

The discrete element modelling of triaxial tests plays a critical role in unveiling fundamental
properties of particulate materials, but the numerical implementation of a flexible membrane …

The pebble bed high temperature gas-cooled reactor is a promising generation-IV reactor,
which uses large fuel pebbles and helium gas as coolant. The pebble bed flow is a …

Metal catalysts are generally supported on hard inorganic materials because of their high
thermochemical stabilities. Here, we support Pd catalysts on a thermochemically stable but …

Soil internal erosion refers to any process that the finer grains are eroded from the matrix of
coarser grains due to seepage. A coupled computational fluid dynamics and discrete …
