Shear Induced Detachment Of Microorganisms Attached To A Plane Wall

B. Boulbène, J. Morchain, and P. Schmitz
Université de Toulouse, NSA, UPS, INP, LISBP, Toulouse, France

We present numerical results involving microorganisms adhering to a plane surface submitted to a shear flow. The purpose is to have a better understanding of the removal mechanisms occurring during the cleaning in place of food processing equipments. The biological cell, i.e. the ... Read More

Pore-Scale Phase Field Model of Two-Phase Flow in Porous Medium

I. Bogdanov, S. Jardel, A. Turki, and A. Kamp
Open & Experimental Centre for Heavy Oil, University of Pau, Pau, France

Pore-scale modeling of multiphase flow through porous media is addressed most frequently to improve our understanding of flow and transport phenomena in such settings. It can be used to obtain macro-scale constitutive equations, to assign multiphase flow properties in large scale models, ... Read More

A Multiphase Model to Analyze Transport Phenomena In Convective Drying

S. Curcio, and M. Aversa
Department of Engineering Modelling, University of Calabria, Rende, Italy

In the modern food industry one of the most important problems to face is to preserve products from deterioration: a widely used solution is the convective foods drying. Drying is based on a simultaneous transfer of both heat and water that takes place when dry and warm air flows around ... Read More

Finite Element Simulation of Shear Wave Propagation Induced by a VCTE Probe

S. Audière[1,2], M. Charbit[1], E. Angelini[2], V. Miette[2], J. Oudry[2], and L. Sandrin[2]
[1]Institut Telecom, Telecom ParisTech, Paris, France
[2]Echosens, Paris, France

The Fibroscan® (Echosens, Paris, France) device based on vibration–controlled transient elastography (VCTE) is used to non– invasively assess liver stiffness correlated to the hepatic fibrosis. Stiffness is quantified by measuring the velocity of a low–frequency shear wave traveling ... Read More

Solid State Transport of Reactive Charged Particles: Application to Metal Oxidation

P. Buttin[1], B. Malki[1], P. Barberis[2], and B. Baroux[1]
[1]SIMAP/groupe SIR, CNRS, France
[2]AREVA - AREVA NP - CEZUS Research Center, France

This paper studies multicomponent transport through zirconia, assuming a chemical reaction involving electrons and oxygen vacancies defects. Classically, according to the Wagner theory for ambipolar diffusion, the electroneutrality condition in the oxide is considered. Therefore three ... Read More

COMSOL Modelling of the Wind Effect on a PV Platform

A. Georgescu, and A. Damian
Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest, Bucharest, Romania

The objective of the paper is the assessment of the wind load applied to a real photovoltaic (PV) platform installed on a site situated in Brasov, which belongs to the Transilvania University. The platform has a double-tracking axis mechanism which allows the rotation of the platform ... Read More

Air Flow Characteristics Inside an Industrial Wood Pallet Drying Kiln

A-G. Ghiaus, M-A. Istrate, and A-M. Georgescu
Technical University of Civil Egineering, Bucharest, Romania

Analysis and optimization of air flow distribution inside drying kiln systems contribute to the improvement of the final product quality. The present study reports on the threedimensional numerical solution of air flow within a drying kiln enclosure. The air flow field is examined in ... Read More

Laser Interstitial Thermo Therapy (LITT) for Prostate Cancer Animal Model: Numerical Simulation of Temperature and Damage Distribution

M.F. Marqa, P. Colin, P. Nevoux, S. Mordon, and N. Betrouni
University of Lille, CHRU, Lille, France

Laser interstitial thermotherapy (LITT) is a cancer treatment technique in which laser fibers are introduced inside the tumor. While it destroys deep tumors, the LITT procedure allows minimizing the impact on adjacent healthy structures. One of the effective methods to perform treatment ... Read More

Comparative Study of an Open Waveguide.Application to Deconvolution of a Magnetic Probe in Near-Field Zone

A. Saghir, J.W. Tao, and C. Avram
INP, Laplace site Enseeiht, Toulouse, France

We present here our work on deconvolution of a magnetic probe to mesure electromagnetic emissions in near-field zone. To achieve this work,we have chosen a rectangular waveguide (WR90) as a radiating structure.Theoritical near-field is simulated using a FEM software (COMSOL) and also ... Read More
