Generalized voronoi tessellation as a model of two-dimensional cell tissue dynamics.
Voronoi tessellations have been used to model the geometric arrangement of cells in morphogenetic or cancerous tissues, however, so far only with flat hyper-surfaces as cell-cell contact borders. In order to reproduce the experimentally observed piecewise spherical boundary shapes, we develop a consistent theoretical framework of multiplicatively weighted distance functions, defining generalize...
متن کاملVoronoi Fluid Particles & Tessellation Fluid Dynamics
We formalize the concept of fluid particle that it is heuristically introduced in textbooks of fluid mechanics. Fluid particles are regarded as portions of fluid that move along the flow field and they have an extension. A natural way of assigning an extension to a set of points is through a tessellation. With a minimum of physical input information a well-defined discrete fluid particle model ...
متن کاملVoronoi Tessellation in Model Glass Systems
Numerical Vorono tessellation is used to investigate the mechanisms of frustration in some model glass systems. First, random packings of 8192 hard spheres of increasing volume fraction c are built in the at three dimensional space using an eecient computer algorithm. Their Vorono statistics evolves with c as if the system would like to reach a pure icosahe-dral order when extrapolating the vol...
متن کاملDistinct element modelling of the mechanical behaviour of intact rocks using voronoi tessellation model
This paper aims to study the mechanical behaviour and failure mechanism of intact rocks under different loading conditions using the grain based model implemented in the universal distinct element code (UDEC). The grain based numerical model is a powerful tool to investigate complicated micro-structural mechanical behaviour of rocks. In the UDEC grain based model, the intact material is simulat...
متن کاملA two-dimensional numerical model of a planar solid oxide fuel cell
A two-dimensional CFD model of a planar solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) has been developed.This model can predict the performance of SOFC at various operating and design conditions.The effect of Knudsen diffusion is accounted in the porous electrode (backing) and reaction zonelayers. The mathematical model solves conservation of electrons and ions and conservation ofspecies. The model is formulate...
