Surface tension driven convection [PDF]

open access: yes
In a normal gravitational environment, the free surface of a liquid in a container plays a passive role in the transport processes. However, at microgravity, the free surface can become the dominant factor.

Kink-induced transport and segregation in oscillated granular layers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
We use experiments and molecular dynamics simulations of vertically oscillated granular layers to study horizontal particle segregation induced by a kink (a boundary between domains oscillating out of phase).

Maritime Ports And Inland Interconnections: A Transactional Analysis Of Container Barge Transport In France

open access: yes, 2012
Recent research on maritime ports hinterlands points out the relevance of mass ground transport modes such as barge transport for enormous flows of containers to and from harbours, especially when a maritime port is located at the mouth of a river ...

Mixing and reaction efficiency in closed domains

open access: yes, 2005
We present a numerical study of mixing and reaction efficiency in closed domains. In particular we focus our attention on laminar flows. In the case of inert transport the mixing properties of the flows strongly depend on the details of the Lagrangian ...

Service network design for an intermodal container network with flexible due dates/times and the possibility of using subcontracted transport [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
An intermodal container transportation network is being developed between Rotterdam and several inland terminals in North West Europe: the EUROPEAN GATEWAY SERVICES (EGS) network. This network is developed and operated by the seaports of EUROPE CONTAINER

Prerequisites for the modelling of empty container supply chains

open access: yesEngineering Management in Production and Services, 2017
Containerisation of freight transport significantly facilitates the flow of traded goods between remote destinations. The most important container transport routes link Asia with North America and Europe.
