Transport phenomena in biological systems software#
Various software like ANSYS, FLUENT, MATHEMATICA, COMSOL, and MATLAB can be used to simulate the fluid dynamics problem and parametric analysis. The conservation laws for mass, momentum, and energy are fundamental principles to formulate the mathematical model. Recent efforts in UC Davis Chemical Engineering include predictive discrete element modeling of the packing and flow of granular materials (Curtis) transport, adsorption, and rheology of surfactants in foods, foams, and biological membranes (Dungan, Longo, Manikantan, Phillips) dopant transport in polymer semiconductors (Moule) charge transport and nonlinear electrokinetic flows (Miller, Ristenpart ) complex rheology, viscoelasticity, and constitutive modeling of multiphase fluids (Manikantan, Miller, Powell, Phillips) turbulent dispersion of pathogens ( Ristenpart ) droplet and vesicle manipulation in microfluidics ( Ristenpart, Wan) and cerebrovascular circulation (Wan).The modeling and simulation of complex systems, mainly physiological and energy systems, are very much recommended for parameter estimation and optimal solutions since the experimental studies on such complex systems are very challenging, time-consuming, and cost-effective.

Our transport faculty participate in graduate groups in applied mathematics, biophysics, food science, and biomedical engineering, and often employ interdisciplinary approaches in their research. In view of the growing technological emphasis on small-scale systems, these efforts frequently bring together traditional aspects of transport phenomena with the dynamics of suspended particles, droplets, colloids, vesicles, biological cells, or macromolecules.

Our faculty tackle transport problems in the agricultural, biomedical, chemical, food, personal care, petroleum, and energy industries. Modern problems in transport phenomena are inherently complex, spanning several size scales and often involving the interplay of the motion of material or energy with multiple dissolved or dispersed components.
