Viscous fingering effect

In miscible system, viscous fluid is triggered by viscous force due to the differences in fluid concentration, also the molecular diffusion and mechanical dispersion of the fluid system.

Spinodal decomposition & capillary bridge

Phase-field models are becoming increasingly popular in hydrodynamics for modeling multi-phase fluid flow below Darcy scale. Instead of sharp interfaces, phase transitions appear as diffuse finite-thickness transition regions.

PocketNet: accurate and fast deep learning

We propose the PocketNet paradigm to accelerate prediction with deep learning.

Fluid pressure in 3D section of intestine

Numerical models of intestinal edema help understand the processes behind the decrease of intestinal contractility and ileus.
