    Mechanics of Multiphase Media Under Hyper-gravity Conditions

    Guannan Wang1,*, Yulin Huang1, Lei Wang1, Weijian Wang1

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.1, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09806

    Abstract With the energetic development of aerospace and aviation industries of our country, it is a critical and onerous mission to protect the life and health of astronauts and aviators. It is already demonstrated in the real flight or centrifuge test that several living organisms would suffer large deformations, instability or even damages under extreme hyper-gravity environment. To overcome the shortcomings from those direct experimental measurements in the literature, the present project will establish a theoretical framework to investigate the deformation and buckling of composite materials or structures systems under hyper-gravity effect. In the meantime, a… More >

    How Does Buoyancy-driven Convection Affect Biological Macromolecular Crystallization? An Analysis of Microgravity and Hypergravity Effects by Means of Magnetic Field Gradients

    N.I. Wakayama1, D.C. Yin2, J.W. Qi3

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.1, No.2, pp. 153-170, 2005, DOI:10.3970/fdmp.2005.001.153

    Abstract The production of crystals of adequate size and high quality is the "bottleneck'' for three-dimensional structure analysis of protein crystals. In this work, in order to shed additional light on the (still controversial) beneficial effect of microgravity on crystal growth, we focus on recent advanced experimental and theoretical research about the effects of buoyancy-driven convection on protein crystallization. In the light of the numerical studies the following major outcomes can be highlighted: (1) when the crystal size exceeds several dozens of µm, buoyancy-driven convection dominates solute transport near the growing crystal and the crystal growth rate… More >
