"A new, ground based data-assimilative modeling of the Earth's plasmasphere - a critical contribution to Radiation Belt modeling for Space Weather purposes" (PLASMON)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2014,

"The security of space assets are affected by the high-energy charged particle environment in the radiation belts. The controlling principal source and loss mechanisms in the radiation belts are not yet completely understood. During a geomagnetic storm the length of time during which space assets are in danger is determined by the loss mechanisms, particularly by relativistic electron precipitatio...

West Nile Integrated Shield Project: Epidemiology, Diagnosis and Prevention of West Nile Virus in Europe (WINGS)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

The world is facing a variety of viral infections of high pathogenic potential. These are either novel or formerly only endemic in specific areas of the world. It is intrinsic to such emerging diseases that actions to prevent and fight them must be taken while the number of infections is still relatively low and geographically restricted. Therefore, research efforts are required well before large ...

Next generation turbulent multiphase CFD modelling for the electrochemical process industries (MELPRIN)

Start date: Dec 15, 2008, End date: Dec 14, 2011,

The chlorate process and the chlor-alkali process are just two examples of widely-used industrial processes in which electrochemical reactions, occurring at the surfaces of electrodes immersed in baths of liquid electrolyte, give rise to gas bubble evolution, which in turn leads to the turbulent flow of the electrolyte. The operation of such cells and reactors is far from optimal, leading in most ...
