Computational Methods for Fusion Technology (COMFUS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

The simulation of multidisciplinary applications use very often a combination of heterogeneous and disjoint numerical techniques that are hard to put together by the user, and whose mathematical foundation is obscure. An example of this situation is the numerical modeling of the physical processes taking place in nuclear fusion reactors. This problem, which can be modeled by a set of partial diffe ...

New Computational Methods for Predicting the Safety of Constructions to Water Hazards accounting for Fluid-Soil-Structure Interactions (SAFECON)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

The objective of this research project is the development and experimental validation of a new generation of mathematical and computational methods allowing the solution of practical fluid-solid structure interaction (FSSI) problems of interest for predictive safety of civil constructions to water-induced hazards. These constructions include: buildings, bridges, harbours, dams, dykes, breakwaters, ...

Designing Safer Urban Spaces (DESURBS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

The DESURBS project makes significant and novel advances with the following developments: 1) An urban space security event database that includes incidents or ‘near misses’ that have (or might have) resulted in injury or loss of life, damage to urban spaces, the auxiliary infrastructures supporting those spaces, or the surrounding natural environment 2) An integrated security and resilience (ISR) ...

Manipulation of Reynolds Stress for Separation Control and Drag Reduction (MARS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

"Reynolds stress is the most important quantity affecting the mean flow as it is responsible for a major part of the momentum transfer in the wall bounded turbulent flow. It has a direct relevance to both skin friction and flow separation. Manipulation of the Reynolds stress can directly lead to changes in the viscous stress at the wall so as to effectively control the flow for effective flow cont ...

Fate of Repository Gases (FORGE)

Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

"The multiple barrier concept is the cornerstone of all proposed schemes for underground disposal of radioactive wastes. The concept invokes a series of barriers, both engineered and natural, between the waste and the surface. Achieving this concept is the primary objective of all disposal programmes, from site appraisal and characterisation to repository design and construction. However, the perf ...

Development and Optimization of THz NDT on Aeronautics Composite Multi-layered Structure (DOTNAC)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2013,

"Modern aircraft structures have to comply with severe requirements: they have to be light as well as safe. These requirements lead to an increased use of composite materials in the aircraft industry. However, new materials also require new techniques in order to inspect aircraft components during production in a non-destructive way.The primary goal of the DOTNAC project is to develop a safe, con ...

VALidation and Improvement of Airframe Noise prediction Tools (VALIANT)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2013,

"Broadband noise generated by the turbulent flow around the airframe is one of the most important components of aircraft generated acoustic nuisances. Its prediction and subsequent reduction is essential for achieving the ACARE 2020 objectives of noise level reductions. However, the complexity and diversity of broadband turbulent noise sources makes that prediction with present numerical tools ext ...

Aerodynamic loads estimation at extremes of the flight envelope (ALEF)

Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2012,

"ALEF's objective is to enable the European aeronautical industry to create complete aerodynamic models of their aircraft based on numerical simulation approaches within the respective development processes. I.e. ALEF will kick-off a paradigm shift from greater confidence in experimentally measured loads data to greater confidence in computational results. Beyond the scope of ALEF this paradigm sh ...

Methods for the improvement of Vulnerability Assessment in Europe (MOVE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

MOVE will create knowledge, frameworks and methods for the assessment of vulnerability to natural hazards in Europe. It will use indices and indicators to help improve societal and environmental resilience. Floods, temperature extremes, droughts, landslides, earthquakes, wildfires and storms will be studied. Emphasis will be placed on clear, capable measurement and accounting for uncertainties. MO ...
