A new approach to optimizing a hydrodynamic design of pump diffuser is presented, based on a three-dimensional inverse design method and a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique. The blade shape of the diffuser was designed for a specified distribution of circulation and a given meridional geometry at a low specific speed of 0.109 (non-dimensional) or 280 (m3 /min, m, rpm).
We present a method of modeling nanoparticle (NP) hydrophobicity using coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CG MD) simulations, and apply this to the interaction of lipids with nanoparticles. To model at a coarse-grained level the wettability or hydrophobicity of a given material, we choose the MARTINI coarse-grained force field, and determine through simulation the contact angles of MARTINI water droplets residing on flat regular surfaces composed of various MARTINI bead types (C1, C2, etc.).
We're running free workshops on using Simpleware software for 3D image visualisation, analysis and model generation from June 6-9 in Lancashire, UK.
Join us for these introductory sessions to learn the basics of the software and how to apply it to applications in the Life Sciences, Materials Science, Industrial Reverse Engineering and Non-Destructive Engineering, and many more.

We are looking for one or two highly motivated PhD candidates for a project related to the development of multi-scale methods in composite materials.
Context
In the frame of several collaborative projects between universities and industrial partners, the main objective of the offered PhD positions will be to develop numerical multi-scale framework to study failure, uncertainties, and multi-physic behaviors of composite materials.
PhD opportunities
We are looking for a highly motivated PhD candidate for a project related to the development of cracking computational models in high entropy alloys.
Context
In the frame of a collaborative project between three universities (Ulg, UCL and ULB), the main objective of the offered PhD position will be to develop a numerical modeling framework for cracking in high entropy alloys, known for their high toughness properties.
PhD opportunity
We are looking for a self-motivated PhD student to study Multi-Scale Material Modeling for different material systems such as Graphene and Polymeric Materials. This position is supported by the MEEM Department at MTU. This project will draw ideas from various subjects including Computational Mechanics and Materials Physics.
The candidate would have access to the advanced computing facilities, collaborations with researchers in other universities, and experimental collaborations.
