Advances in Numerical Simulations Bridging Chemical and Nuclear Engineering Phenomena or Processes


Description:
The 21st century does and will see huge and unique advancements in computational capabilities and new architectures and approaches, thus forcing new developments in modeling complex first-principle physics phenomena pertaining to phenomena in many scientific and engineering disciplines. We expect to develop new, advanced, and different methodologies to treat the radioactive or toxic wastes processes; the two major disciplines, chemical and nuclear engineering, will play leading roles in defining, analyzing, finding and creating these novel and adequate solutions. This session encourages papers reflecting synergistic theories between the two disciplines, such methods, analogies or computational simulations that solve common, new, challenging or engineering process or phenomena in one of the disciplines using the knowledge of the other discipline.
