COSPAR: A probabilistic approach to planetary protection

This project offers an opportunity to update the international COSPAR Policy on Planetary Protection and will develop international leadership in planetary protection.

Hysteresis of two-phase flows in porous and fractured media: From micro-scale Haines jumps to macro-scale pressure-saturation curves

Fluid displacement plays a key role in a wide range of applications, including agriculture and hydrology, biology, energy and environmental engineering, and industrial processes such as printing and curing of cement and foods.

Hydrodynamics and metering of two-phase (liquid/dense gas) flow for carbon capture and storage

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a global strategy considered essential to mitigate climate change. The technical challenges for Brazil are severe, where the pre-salt is a complex of carbonate reservoirs in ultra-deep waters, under a thick layer of salt.

Nonlinear flow states and turbulence produced by helical magnetorotational-type instabilities (Solar Studies)

 To investigate the origin of turbulence in hydrodynamically stable astrophysical flows by developing a nonlinear stability theory of helical magnetorotational instability (HMRI)
