Numerical investigation on the role of check dams with bottom outlets in debris flow mobility by 2D SPH.

Check dams with bottom outlets are widely used in debris flow gullies to minimize the damage caused by debris flows. However, the bottom size is often based on empirical criteria due to the lack of knowledge of the interaction between the debris flow and the check dam with the bottom outlet. In this study, the interaction between a viscous debris flow and check dams with bottom outlets is investigated via flume tests using 2D smoothed particle hydrodynamics.

Modeling of Symbiotic Bacterial Biofilm Growth with an Example of the Streptococcus-Veillonella sp. System.

We present a multi-dimensional continuum mathematical model for modeling the growth of a symbiotic biofilm system. We take a dual-species namely, the Streptococcus-Veillonella sp. biofilm system as an example for numerical investigations.

Biofilm formation by the oral pioneer colonizer Streptococcus gordonii: an experimental and numerical study.

For decades, extensive research efforts have been conducted to improve the functionality and stability of implants. Especially in dentistry, implant treatment has become a standard medical practice. The treatment restores full dental functionality, helping patients to maintain high quality of life.
