Continuum-Scale Modeling of Rechargeable Batteries
(2020)
During the operation of a rechargeable battery, the electrochemical reactions occur at the interface between the electrolyte and the active material in the electrode. The electrochemical performance of such batteries is ...
Numerical Studies of Wave Turbulence in Finite Domains
(2023)
Nonlinear wave systems are ubiquitous in nature, and when many incoherent dispersive waves interact, there is the potential for wave turbulence (WT). Just as in flow turbulence, systems in WT exhibit inter-scale energy ...
Thermoelectric Transport in Disordered Materials
(2022)
Material disorder comes in two forms, dynamic energetic disorder and static energetic disorder, both of which can greatly influence charge and thermoelectric (TE) transport properties by altering the energy dependences of ...
Large-Scale Simulations of Complex Turbulent Flows: Modulation of Turbulent Boundary Layer Separation and Optimization of Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Next-Generation HPC Platforms
(2020)
The separation of spatially evolving turbulent boundary layer flow near regions of adverse pressure gradients has been the subject of numerous studies in the context of flow control. Although many studies have demonstrated ...
Computational Methods for Understanding Dynamics in Mass Transport and Tissue Development
(2020)
Elucidating the process by which a biological system evolves and properly identifying hidden states and influential underlying factors are important for studying biological functions and origins of diseases. However, due ...
Reduced-Order Modeling of Turbulent Reacting Flows Using Inertial Manifold Theory
(2021)
Turbulent flows found in aerodynamics, propulsion, and other energy conversion sys- tems pose an inherent computational challenge for extensive predictive simulations. Over the last few decades, a statistical approach for ...
Computational Discovery of Solid Electrolytes for Batteries: Interfacial Phenomena and Ion Mobility
(2020)
Solid-state batteries (SSBs) using a solid electrolyte (SE) and Li-metal anode are promising technologies that can increase energy density and minimize safety concerns for applications such as electric vehicles. Although ...
Aural Architecture as Affect: Understanding the Impact of Acoustic Environments on Human Experience
(2021)
Architectural design plays a significant role in shaping human experience in buildings through the perception of space. However, architectural characteristics not only result in visual attributes that affect how the occupants ...
Multidisciplinary Study of Soft Shape Morphing Systems
(2021)
Nature abounds with examples of shape morphing systems where an entity either gradually grows into a complex 3-D shape pattern or rapidly morphs into a new configuration. Inspired by the shape shifting capabilities of ...
Engineering Bicontinuous Interfaces for Enhanced Mechanical Performance
(2020)
In this work, we report on the evolution of phase-separated morphologies in co-sputtered Cu-Mo films as a result of varying substrate temperature and deposition rate during deposition. A transition from vertically-oriented ...
