Time-dependent mechanical and transport behaviors of Callovo-Oxfordian argillite

An experimental study was carried out on the time-dependent mechanical and transport behaviors of the Callovo-Oxfordian (Cox) argillite, the geological barriers for high-level radioactive waste disposal in France. Six coupled one-step creep tests under the same confining pressure 6MPa and different deviatoric stresses were proposed to...

CFD modeling of chemical reactors: Single-Phase Complex Reactions and Fine-Particle Production

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a useful tool for modeling chemical reactors. However, because the design goals and expected outcomes are different than in "traditional'' CFD applications, chemical reactors require special attention to the treatment of chemical reactions, and heat and mass transfer. Here we provide an overview of the...
