Résumé
The program will address two inter-disciplinary themes: modelling of particle motility with special relevance to the immune system, and fluid flow underpinning landfill gas collection and control. Both systems' physical principles defy standard assumptions and hitherto have escaped conceptually accurate modelling with existing tools: particles in the immune system traverse media, whose intricate structure is difficult to capture mathematically; the landfill system combines several flow regimes, whose coupling creates non-trivial engineering complications. Novel analysis tools tailored to handle the peculiarities of these systems will be developed. Students will receive training in data analysis, scientific computation and visualization of results.
