DeseRt dUst Modeling : performance and Sensitivity evaluation – DRUMS
The main steps are (i) the development of a regional meteorological dust model by implementing specific parameterizations of dust emission, transport and deposition on-line in the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model, (ii) the evaluation of the quality of the resulting regional dust simulations
Innovative synthesis of hIghly dispersed Pt-free metallic nanoparticles for dehydrogenation reactions involved in liquid organic hydrogen carriers – INSIDE-Nano
Generally, noble metal-based catalysts are applied to catalyze hydrogenation/dehydrogenation (HYD/DH) reactions due to their high catalytic activity and selectivity. However, their high cost and scarcity limit their large-scale use in fields of application yet considered essential to respond to curr
Scientific Improvement of Ammonia Combustion – SIAC
To reach the Green Deal objective of Europe in 2050, the need to keep a secure electricity supply, the energy storage will play an central role of the modern electricity smart grid. Hydrogen is considered as a good energy carrier even if actually suffers of the storage and transport cost and some sa
Physics-informed reduced-order modeling for digital twins of sustainable combustion systems – PROMCOM
In the current energy transition scenario, energy-intensive industries and long-range transportation sectors remain heavily reliant on the combustion of fossil fuels. Thus, renewable and alternative fuels, such as hydrogen, ammonia, and biofuels, are vital for achieving carbon neutrality in these di
Smart and sustainable composite materials for naval structures health monitoring – SMATSH
Transition towards sustainable transport and more reactive and stealthy military vessels cannot be achieved without composite materials. However the use of Maritime Composites (MCs) for civilian ships or military vessels requires robust and efficient in-situ waves-based structural health monitoring
CO2 guided cardiopulmonary resuscitation – CPR-CO2
Cardiac arrest is estimated to be the third leading cause of death in the United States with a survival rate around 10%. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) refers to the management of cardiac arrest patients. Aside the absolute priority to consider defibrillation to restore spontaneous circulation,
Ultrafine-grained materials processed by fast Dynamic Plastic Deformation – MAUDE
One of the objectives in the design and materials engineering has always been to facilitate their use directly or improve their properties to continue to push the boundaries of human activity. Nowadays, materials with higher performance are required, which, inevitably is accompanied by pressure on t
Salty ices modeling using data-driven approaches and atomistic simulations – SIMODAS
Ice phases incorporating a non-negligible amount of salt have been recently experimentally demonstrated. In particular, both high- and low-pressure phases have been reported, showing interest respectively in models for planetary interior compositions, and solid aqueous electrolytes for battery devic
Toward a novel lubrication approach tailored to E-mobility – ELUB-Mobility
In the pursuit of lower CO2 emissions, Electric Vehicles (EVs) represent a promising step toward completely decarbonizing the transportation sector. However, the shift to EVs brings new challenges in the field of lubrication and tribology, related mainly to the increasingly harsher and broader range
Electrostatic doping of 2D semiconductors on Gallium Nitride based heterostructures – 2DonGaN
2DonGaN proposes a new solution to efficiently dope 2D semiconductors (SC) grown on III-V heterostructures (e.g. AlGaN/GaN). Depending on the stack, these heterostructures induce spontaneous and piezoelectric polarizations that generate fixed positive or negative charges at their surface. These char
