Mesoscopic modeling of PFAS aggregation and adsorption on model mineral surfaces

Thousands of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been synthesized since the mid-20th century. These compounds, selected for their exceptional properties, find many applications in our daily lives, including waterproofing textiles, packaging, and non-stick coatings for kitchen utensils.

Detailed numerical simulations of porous media combustion using ammonia and hydrogen as fuels: multi-physics coupling and modelling

With increasingly stringent climate change regulations, developing low-emission, carbon-free burners has become crucial for industry and a technical challenge for researchers. Ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen (H2) are the main carbon-free fuels under consideration.

Optimal mixed-fleet bus scheduling and charging with direct consideration of passengers’ demand and level of service at bus stops

In the face of current environmental challenges, the shift towards more sustainable mobility is a key focus. European governments have outlined a roadmap to promote the adoption of public transportation, integrate new energy sources and reduce the reliance on single-occupancy car use, also known as “car-solo”.

Study of the Effect of Confinement on Thermal Runaway and Its Propagation

Thermal runaway (TR) is a major challenge in the development and safety of Li-ion batteries, especially for electric vehicles. When a cell experiences TR, it releases heat rapidly, posing risks of explosion and propagation to adjacent cells.
