Modelling of multiscale systems in engineering and science supports large-scale equation-free simulations and analysis. A persistent feature of complex systems in engineering and science is the emergence of macroscopic, coarse grained, coherent behaviour from the interactions of microscopic agents (molecules, cells) and with their environment. In current modeling, ranging from ecology to materials science, the underlying microscopic mechanisms are known, but the closures to translate microscale ....Modelling of multiscale systems in engineering and science supports large-scale equation-free simulations and analysis. A persistent feature of complex systems in engineering and science is the emergence of macroscopic, coarse grained, coherent behaviour from the interactions of microscopic agents (molecules, cells) and with their environment. In current modeling, ranging from ecology to materials science, the underlying microscopic mechanisms are known, but the closures to translate microscale knowledge to a system level macroscopic description are rarely available in closed form. Our novel, equation free, computational methodologies will circumvent this stumbling block, and promises to radically change the modeling, exploration and understanding of complex system behavior. We continue to develop this powerful computational methodology. Read moreRead less
Theoretical Study of Functionalized Boron Nitride Nanotubes and Their Application as Gas Sensor. The gas sensors to be studied in this project can be deployed for a variety of applications, such as environmental monitoring, sensing in chemical processing plant, and gas detection for counter-terrorism, this project thus can significantly contribute to environmental protection, national security, and agriculture and pharmaceutical industries in Australia. Such mechanism understanding will also be ....Theoretical Study of Functionalized Boron Nitride Nanotubes and Their Application as Gas Sensor. The gas sensors to be studied in this project can be deployed for a variety of applications, such as environmental monitoring, sensing in chemical processing plant, and gas detection for counter-terrorism, this project thus can significantly contribute to environmental protection, national security, and agriculture and pharmaceutical industries in Australia. Such mechanism understanding will also be very useful for exploring the applications of BNNTs in nano-optical-magnetic devices, energy storage and biomaterials This project will also be important for keeping Australia in the frontier area in the research areas of nanotubes.Read moreRead less
Micro Process Plants - Non-Newtonian flow and particle synthesis in confined geometries. Understanding the flow behaviour of well characterised non-Newtonian fluids within microfluidic and nanofluidic devices is of vital importance to development of novel high-value added services, products and devices within Australia's burgeoning biotechnology, environmental technology, communications and information technology industries. The outcomes of this project will provide new 'systematic' design stand ....Micro Process Plants - Non-Newtonian flow and particle synthesis in confined geometries. Understanding the flow behaviour of well characterised non-Newtonian fluids within microfluidic and nanofluidic devices is of vital importance to development of novel high-value added services, products and devices within Australia's burgeoning biotechnology, environmental technology, communications and information technology industries. The outcomes of this project will provide new 'systematic' design standards for microdevice manufacture for these industries, ultimately leading to the creation of new, exciting avenues for tailoring novel biotechnology and 'point-of-care' products for Australia.Read moreRead less
