Multiphase reactors are very common in chemical industry, and numerous review articles
exist that are focused on types of reactors, such as bubble columns, trickle beds, fluid …

The introduction of solutions conventionally called Industry 4.0 to the industry resulted in the
need to make many changes in the traditional procedures of industrial data analysis based …

The study of granular materials has always been a topic of considerable importance in
engineering. Historically, the mathematical formulation of the subject dates back to the …

This thesis aims at improving the convergence of iterative solvers, used for algebraic
systems coming from the discretization of partial differential equations (PDE), in the context …

A new micromechanics method is proposed to investigate the effective properties of
saturated porous media with connected pores. This topic is seldom discussed in the …

need to make many changes in the traditional procedures of industrial data analysis based …

A general framework for the thermodynamics of open systems is developed in the spatial
and the material setting. Special emphasis is placed on the balance of mass which is …

This paper deals with the derivation of an evolution equation for the field here denoted by
Δn, which represents the difference between the porosity in an arbitrary state of a …

Continuum models for granular flow generally give rise to systems of nonlinear partial
differential equations that are linearly ill-posed. In this paper we introduce discreteness into …

The aim of the thesis is to provide a mathematical framework for studying mechanical
problems arising in biology, and related to two human diseases widespread in western …
