VALORIE (VALidate Operations to Reduce Impact on Environment) aims to support Systems for Green Operations ITD in validation of novel, environment-aware practices of aircraft take-off and cruise against a wide spectrum of available operational expertise. The modelling of a broader operational environment that includes ATC, airports, CFMU, etc. can be well done by advanced simulation and gaming techniques. Moreover, there is a mature methodology available to do air transport industry-related validation, namely E-OCVM. However, validation is usually conducted by a group of experts coming from the same operator. This approach (governed by the fact that gathering experts from different employers is a challenging task) prevents the heterogeneity that would be by implicitly beneficial for the outcome validation. Experts doing their daily work in the same corporate environment are trained for the same company processes. This leads to similar approach to the validation subject and results in similar opinions at the end. VALORIE is a project that puts emphasis on increased heterogenity of the expert group validating operational scenarios provided by SGO. This approach will result in an added value generated by the synergy of opinions coming from experts working in the same field of air transport industry but being aware of different company practices and policies.

The goal of the project is to develop the next version of the fluid property sublibrary of the Modelica Standard Library (MSL). The currently available fluids will be kept, but there is a need to extend the MSL with properties for multi-phase multi-component fluids. Most fluid properties available today are in specialized programs written in C or Fortran, like MultiFlash by InfoChem or FluidProp by TU Delft, or they are part of process engineering simulators. That makes it necessary to include external interfaces to access these properties from Modelica. CAPE-OPEN is the best known such interface with many properties available and is a natural first choice. On the other hand it is necessary to support encapsulated models as standardized in the FMI-standard, which is also maintained by the Modelica Association. Therefore, a native C/C++/Fortran interface will also be developed in this project. The results are going to be integrated into the Modelica Standard Library.

The noise shielding empennage designs for rear fuselage mounted engines are promising enough to further investigate. Significant noise reduction is one of the main goals of the Clean Sky Smart Fixed Wing Aircraft (SFWA) project. In order to determine the merits of several alternative designs, extensive wind tunnel testing with enhanced state-of-the-art measuring techniques will be performed. Tests will be performed on full model with engine jet simulation. Several types of empennages will be tested in order to assess the noise shielding merits of these innovative designs. The acoustic tests will be done in the 8mx6m open test section of DNW-LLF. Furthermore, the aerodynamic interaction of the empennage with the jet exhaust will be tested with the full model in the 8mx6m closed test section, with and without ground effect.

Powder bed based additive manufacturing processes belong to the key technologies of the future. They allow the production of complex shaped components from powder with nearly no waste. However, to optimize the process and the properties of the components, it is fundamental to identify reasonable process windows, ensuring part integrity and stable mechanical properties without giving up too much flexibility in the additive manufacturing process. The aim of the project is to establish a full software set, which allows the prediction of resulting mechanical properties of materials produced by additive manufacturing processes as a function of process parameters. In order to realize this task, we couple three simulation tools covering all the essential physical mechanisms on relevant length- and time-scales: The melting, initial grain structure and orientation formation of the powder particles upon laser or electron beam interaction will be simulated via Lattice-Boltzmann approaches; the initial microstructure formation during rapid dendritic solidification at micrometer-dendritic arm-spacing length and solidification time-scales will be covered by the phase-field module; the thermo-mechanical behavior of the resulting grain structure at heat-treatment-time-scales will be simulated using a crystal plasticity Finite Element simulation module. Furthermore, the development of the simulation models will be accompanied by experiments to define essential material parameters and to calibrate, validate and optimize the derived models. SIMCHAIN is an innovative and unique approach to build a ready to use software set in order to predict the influence of various process parameters on the resulting mechanical properties during additive manufacturing processes. SIMCHAIN prepares the ground for robust process design, as an important step towards design-driven manufacturing for future aero engines parts optimized in weight and function.

The coordination chemistry of 3d transition metals with covalently tethered N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands is almost completely unexplored. In this project, we will develop a completely new and stereo-electronically more versatile type of NHC ligand functionalized with anionic amido or phosphido donor groups. Our ligands will enable the development of a new family of three-coordinate complexes of low-valent chromium, manganese iron, cobalt and nickel, represented by 1 and 2. The three coordinate complexes will possess intrinsically interesting molecular and electronic structures, and we will develop their reactivity towards a range of small-molecule activation reactions.

The diversity of plant architecture is mainly determined by the shoot branching patterns and leaf forms. Factors involved in either of the two processes have been identified in Solanum lycopersicum (tomato). However, it has been recently demonstrated that some of the genetic modules regulating formation of axillary meristems, from which branches develop, affect also leaf dissection. Yet it is not clear how these modules interact and contribute to both developmental mechanisms. The aim of this project is to obtain a fundamental genetic and molecular understanding of a common mechanism regulating shoot branching and leaf dissection in tomato. This will be done by an in-depth analysis of these two developmental processes that are regulated by the Trifoliate gene. Using high-throughput next-generation DNA sequencing coupled with traditional molecular approaches, I will identify genes acting in both processes, which are potentially direct targets of Trifoliate. Subsequently, I will monitor the expression patterns and expression levels of selected candidate genes at different stages of axillary meristem and leaf development. Finally, the functionality of these genes will be tested in the corresponding mutants and overexpression lines as well as by use of transcriptional reporters. This proposed work will help to elucidate general concepts underlying cell competency in the development of tomato.

The main goal of the proposed NEPTUNE project (“New generation of ion sources: from deep space missions to upstream nano-technologies”) is to enhance the understanding of the physics and exploit the benefits of bipolar charged particle extraction from low temperature plasma. The first NEPTUNE prototype will be built and tested during the project implementation. In the NEPTUNE prototype the generated particle beam will be quasi-neutral, composed by ions and electrons or oppositely charged ions, without the need for an additional neutralization system. The NEPTUNE project brings together scientists who are experts in the area of formation of flows of oppositely charged particles, in order to address key fundamental issues at the leading edge of the subject: simultaneous bipolar particles extraction, space charge neutralization in complex systems and plasma - bipolar beam interactions.

Appropriate strategies to reduce energy consumption, increase Renewable Energy Sources (RES) penetration within local urban ecosystems seems to be the high priorities towards low carbon cities. In this context urban canyons (UCs) represent the core of the search for new intersections between energy issues and urban dwellers. The goal of the proposal is to demonstrate the techno-economical and social feasibility of zero energy-zero emission retrofit in existing UCs. To reach this aim the research will: - Develop a model which spatially depicts the energy of a selected urban area as a contribution to the mapping of the city energy consumption. The principles of the model -based on the city discretization into homogeneous districts characterised by several UC types- will be applicable to other districts and cities. - Study and evaluate the energy demand/potential of the UCs by designing –in different steps of actions- retrofitted scenarios to achieve carbon neutral UCs. The study will evaluate different solutions to diffusely integrate available technologies within UCs; - Promote further actions to fill the knowledge gap among low carbon techniques and their adoption at social and community city level. To investigate the validity of hypothesis, the overall aim is sub-divided into the objectives: 1) Urban discretized model; 2) Energy demand in the UCs; 3) Energy saving potential of UCs by passive and RES; 4) Zero Energy-Zero onsite emissions in the UCs, where additional energy savings production by synergies between passive and active systems will be addressed; 5) Overcoming existing constraints; 6) Outreach initiatives to apply retrofitting actions within real UCs. The study of energy potential of UCs will involve both stakeholders at public level and business economic actors/SMEs connected to GRBES-NKUA; these studies (4) will produce added value both to RES penetration into the market and to existing building and RES components’ turning into renewed/new products.

The research project deals with the geometry of random and disordered media at a mesoscopic level and its study from a signal processing perspective. The main application is wave physics in random and complex media. Two topical and innovative questions are addressed. 1- Can we obtain a multiscale geometrical image of a random/complex medium from observations of waves properties at the output of the medium, using statistical measures ? 2- Can we observe the dynamics of a random medium from geometric properties of the output signals and its geometrical spectrum ? The goal is to develop a complete methodology to characterize random media using probing waves. The major innovation proposed in the project is to make use of random processes on manifolds to model the behaviour of waves in random media and to develop some geometrical methods (differential geometry, probability and statistics on manifolds and Geometric/Clifford harmonic analysis) allowing the extraction of structural informations about the media.

About 80% of the global terrestrial C pool is located in soils, and over 50% of the CO2 evolved from soils is due to respiration of heterotrophic biota involved in net secondary production. Consequently, the flux of C from belowground to the atmosphere through respiration is >10 times larger than anthropogenic emissions, and changes in soil respiration could significantly increase or mitigate current increases of CO2. Predictions derived from global scale CO2 models differ significantly, with the anticipated amount of CO2 in the atmosphere varying by up to 200 ppm at the end of this century. Global scale CO2 predictive models concatenate sets of models that describe biophysical processes and climate. Global circulation models are coupled with soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition models by interpolating dynamic global vegetation models, and a great deal of the variability in final predictions is due to uncertainties in the terrestrial C cycle. Improving SOM mineralization models is essential to progress towards more precise global predictions and, to achieve this, soil biota must be explicitly represented in SOM models. Soil microbes carry out most of the SOM transformation, but larger soil animals are crucial as regulators of the process and must be considered. The general objective of this project is to model effects of soil food webs on C and N mineralization and on gas emissions from soil, including effects of soil fauna (from a soil food web perspective), and to couple this model with the SOM submodel of the DYANET model. The project will be held at the Colorado State University under Dr. D.H. Wall for soil biodiversity and Drs. JH Moore and W. Parton for soil food web and SOM modeling. The EU has recognized a severe knowledge gap on soil biodiversity functions, including effects on soil biogeochemical cycles. Therefore, this project addresses two priority research areas of the 7th Framework Programme: soil biodiversity and global C cycle.
