Spring 2024
A diffuse interface model to simulate a system of two immiscible liquids with surfactants is proposed. This model is based on a modified Ginzburg-Landau free energy functional to account for non-ionic soluble surfactants and couples the Navier-Stokes equations with two Cahn-Hilliard equations...

A Coarse-Grained Simulation Framework to Study Polyethylenimine-DNA Nanoparticles in Gene Delivery
DownloadSpring 2022
Cellular DNAs contain genetic information vital for the functioning of the cells. Corruption of this information, or genetic disorders, can lead to various diseases. A potential treatment is to deliver exogenous DNAs with the correct genetic information to malignant cells to achieve a...

Characterization of Abrasive Wear by Mass Loss and Acoustic Emission using the Ball-on-Plate Testing
DownloadSpring 2022
The present work developed an automated ball-on-plate abrasive wear tester and examined the material abrasion wear resistance by volume loss and their acoustic emission characteristics. The performance of three types of materials with varying material properties, including aluminum,...
