Improving computational efficiency of lattice Boltzmann methods on complex geometries

The lattice Boltzmann method has evolved over the past decade to a common technique in the field of computational fluid dynamics. The basic principle of cellular-automata allows an easy simulation of discrete surfaces and implementation of different boundary conditions. To meet the numerical requirements of continuous surfaces the enhanced Bouzidi bounce-back with interpolation was implemented....

Optimization of Business Processes: An Introduction to Applied Stochastic Modeling

From complex structures to complex processes: percolation theory applied to the formation of a city.

We investigate the morphology of the spatial pattern resulting from the division of land into the parcels that is observed in the centers of the cities, by analyzing the distribution function of the parcel areas. A simple model based on a two-dimensional bond percolation is employed to mimic the process of the formation of the city. The model reproduces the empirical distribution of the parcel ...

Computational Modeling of Fluidic Micro-Handling Processes

This paper describes the application of a new and unconventional numerical method for computational modeling of fluidic micro-handling processes. The key requirement for modeling such processes is the ability to simulate flows with large number of complex shaped moving objects. Conventional body-conformal computational fluid dynamic (CFD) methods are not well suited for simulating such flows an...
