The motion of a fluid can be described by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations (NSE). A single particle embedded in the fluid experience a resistance resulting from a friction force. The friction force depends typically on the velocity but is directed in the opposite direction to ... Read More
In nanofluid delivery, backflow along the needle is a major hurdle to deliver drug-carrying nanofluid to the entire tumor. In theory, any approaches to decrease the overall flow resistance in tumors would facilitate drug delivery. The objective of this study is to develop a theoretical ... Read More
Arc welding is a widely used process in heavy industry for the assembly of metallic components. To ensure high-quality welds, it is essential to understand both the welding process and the complex interactions within the melt pool. Numerical simulation is employed as a predictive tool to ...

Chemically driven actuators capable of directional motion have attracted considerable attention for their autonomy, sustainability, and versatility[1]. However, conventional enzyme-based actuators often suffer from limitations such as high cost and insufficient control over orientation. ... Read More
Refrigeration plays a crucial role in both industrial and residential sectors, where nearly 17% of the energy consumption worldwide is related to thermal management systems [1] [2]. Furthermore, current vapor-compression refrigeration technology contributes significantly to the ... Read More
During the evolution of multicellularity, cells needed to find a way to self-organise into structures able to fulfil a broad range of physiological functions. Directed cell migration (DCM) is an elegant way to reorder cells and break symmetry based on simple rules and local information, ... Read More
Solid-state magnetic refrigeration near room temperature, based on the magnetocaloric effect (MCE), is being investigated as an environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative to traditional vapor-compression systems (responsible for the 7.8% of greenhouse gas emissions) [1] [2], ... Read More
Accurate, real-time measurement of arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO₂) is essential for managing respiratory diseases and critical care conditions. Traditional arterial blood sampling for PaO₂ is invasive, painful, and provides intermittent snapshots rather than continuous ... Read More
Transforming the energy sector worldwide towards renewable, climate-neutral energy sources requires innovative ideas and excellent engineering solutions. In particular, shallow geothermal energy utilization is currently showing a remarkable development. In highly urbanized regions, large ... Read More
The current and energy transfer to cathodes of vacuum arcs usually occurs in bright, narrow regions, known as cathode spots. Owing to extreme conditions in these spots, the cathode surface is eroded: electrode material is vaporized, and craters and molten metal jets are formed. The study ... Read More
