Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) has made significant progress in producing solid and porous metal parts with complex shapes and geometries. However, LPBF produced parts often have defects (e.g., porosity, residual stress, and incomplete melting) that hinder its large-scale industrial commercialization. The LPBF process involves complex heat transfer and fluid flow, and the melt pool is a critical component of the process. The melt pool stability is a critical factor in determining the microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance of LPBF produced metal parts. Furthermore, optimizing process parameters for new materials and designed structures is challenging due to the complexity …

Remediating sites contaminated with light non-aqueous phase liquids (LNAPLs) is a demanding and often prolonged task. It is vital to determine when it is appropriate to cease engineered remedial efforts based on the long-term effectiveness of remediation technology options. For the first time, the long term effectiveness of a range of LNAPL remediation approaches including skimming and vacuum-enhanced skimming each with and without water table drawdown was simulated through a multi-phase and multi-component approach. LNAPL components of gasoline were simulated to show how component changes affect the LNAPL's multi-phase behaviour and to inform the risk profile of the LNAPL. The …
