Analytic Light Transport Approximations for Volumetric Materials

Subsurface scattering and light transport in volumetric media are critical to achieve a realistic depiction of a material. We describe several analytical approximations and methods for volumetric light transport in media of various optical properties that are efficient and easy to compute. Most natural materials exhibit a sudden surge in brightness called the opposition effect around the zero p...

Diffusion in Mesoporous Materials During Melting and Freezing

1. Introduction Porous solids are in the focus of scientific research due to their importance in various applications such as catalysis, mass separation, pharmaceutics, and chromatography. To date, large variety of porous materials containing both micro-and mesopores have been synthesized. Such a rapid growth of various types of porous materials consisting of several structural units with diffe...

Boundary lubrication properties of materials with expansive freezing.

We have performed molecular dynamics simulations of solid-solid contacts lubricated by a model fluid displaying many of the properties of water, particularly its expansive freezing. Near the region where expansive freezing occurs, the lubricating film remains fluid, and the friction force decreases linearly as the shear velocity is reduced. No sign of stick-slip motion is observed, even at the ...
