Multiphysical Simulation and Optimisation for Magnetocaloric Refrigeration 

Refrigeration has a remarkable and often underestimated impact on global warming: globally, about 20% of the total electric energy is used for refrigeration. Additionally, conventional refrigerators work using a gas-compression cycle, and the corresponding working gas has a large global warming potential. Thus, working gas leakage leads to direct greenhouse […]

The contamination crisis and a filtration fix: Two modelling frameworks for particle filtration

By Arkady Wey FiltrationFiltration is the separation of particles from fluid, usually by passing it through a membrane (Figure 1). It is used extensively for wastewater decontamination, and for harmful-particulate removal from exhaust gases in combustion plants. There are few larger problems facing humanity: The WHO has predicted that 10% […]

Mathematical modelling of washing machines and tumble dryers

By Torin Fastnedge and Chloe Bernard Research estimates suggest that up to 35% of the microplastics found in our oceans originate from our clothing, specifically microfibres, which are released during the washing machine cycle. Subsequently, these minuscule particles enter the water and are ingested by humans through our food and […]

The mathematics of chemical decontamination

by Ellen Luckins Following a chemical weapons attack, it is crucial for public safety that any hazardous chemical agent remaining in the environment is properly removed. In particular, if the hazardous agent has seeped into porous building materials such as plasterboard, brick, or concrete, it cannot simply be wiped away. […]

Seismic Imaging Provides an Insight Into the Earths Subsurface

The seismic reflection method involves sending acoustic waves thousands of meters under the Earth’s surface. The reflected signals provide scientists with information about the characteristics of the subsurface. Researchers at the Fraunhofer ITWM are able to process seismic data in greater detail.
