3D Printing for Space Habitats: Requirements, Challenges, and Recent Advances

Heavily resource-reliant transportation and harsh living conditions, where humans cannot survive without a proper habitat, have prevented humans from establishing colonies on the Moon and Mars. Due to the absence of an atmosphere, potential habitats on the Moon or Mars require thick and strong structures that can withstand artificially...

Preface: Novelties and frontiers in porous media: special focus on analytical models (part two)

This special issue presents up-to-date studies on porous media with a special focus on analytical models and their capability in reconstructing numerical and experimental results. The published papers included within this special issue provide analytical and semi-analytical models for a wide range of problems including micro-polar liquid flow...

Preface: Novelties and frontiers in porous media: special focus on analyticalmodels (part one)

This special issue aimed to contribute to the novelties and frontiers in porous media with a special focus on analytical models and their comparison with numerical and experimental approaches. The published papers included within this special issue help engineers and programmers to keep the models of real apparatus as simple and accurate as...
