(2023-01-15)
The Social Force Model has been widely used to simulate pedestrian dynamics. Its simplicity and ability to reproduce some collective patterns of behavior make it an adequate tool in the field of pedestrian dynamics. However, ...
• #### Deep Learning for Inverting Borehole Resistivity Measurements ﻿

(2022-11-25)
There exist multiple traditional methods to solve inverse problems, mainly, gradient-based or statistics-based methods. However, these methods have severe limitations. In particular, they often need to compute the forward ...
• #### A numerical method for suspensions of articulated bodies in viscous flows ﻿

(2022-09-01)
An articulated body is defined as a finite number of rigid bodies connected by a set of arbitrary constraints that limit the relative motion between pairs of bodies. Such a general definition encompasses a wide variety of ...
• #### Aeroacoustic Analysis of a Subsonic Jet using the Discontinuous Galerkin Method ﻿

(2022)
In this work, the open-source spectral/hp element framework Nektar++ (www.nektar.info) is coupled with the Antares library (www.cerfacs.fr/antares/) to predict noise from a subsonic jet. Nektar++ uses the high-order ...
