Start date: 2014-07-01, End date: 2019-06-30
Despite significant advances in chemotherapy, the effective treatment of malignant masses via systemically injectable agents are still limited by insufficient accumulation at the biological target (<< 10% injected dose per gram tumor) and non-specific sequestration by the ret...

[PROJECT] MULTIFLOW - Multiscale dynamics of turbulent flows
ID: 267690
Start date: 2011-02-01, End date: 2016-01-31
Turbulence is a fundamental unsolved problem, at whose core are the multiscale processes that transfer, for example, energy across the inertial range of scales, or momentum across wall-bounded shear flows. Turbulence is also key to applications, from industrial design and ene...

[PROJECT] TRITOS - TRansItions and Turbulence Of complex Suspensions
ID: 616186
Start date: 2014-04-01, End date: 2019-03-31
The aim of this project is to forge a physical understanding of the transitions and of the turbulent flow of semi-dilute/dense non-colloidal suspensions, for different particle features and suspending fluids. It is estimated that 10% of the world energy consumption is due to ...
