Numerical Simulation of Physical Transportation Network

Effectiveness of Learning Transportation Network Growth through Simulation

Computer simulation plays an increasingly important role in engineering education as a tool for enhancing classroom learning. This research investigates the efficacy of using simulation in teaching the topic of transportation network growth through an experiment conducted at the Civil Engineering Department of the University of Minnesota. In the experiment, a network growth simulator program SO...

Prediction of Entrance Length for Magnetohydrodynamics Channels Flow using Numerical simulation and Artificial Neural Network

This paper focuses on using the numerical finite volume method (FVM) and artificial neural network (ANN) in order to propose a correlation for computing the entrance length of laminar magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) channels flow. In the first step, for different values of the Reynolds (Re) and Hartmann (Ha) numbers (600<ReL increases.

Physical Mathematics Seminar Direct Numerical Simulation of Multi-Component Flows

We report the development of a sharp interface/level set method for the Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of multi-component flows. Special care has been taken to treat problems involving high-density ratios and large surface tension forces in an accurate and computationally efficient manner. Calculations are presented for 2D waves falling down a vertical wall, wherein good agreement is found w...

Study of human accessibility: physical tests versus numerical simulation

In the field of universal design, taking into account the physical characteristics of the target population during the design process is essential. However, human variability causes difficulty to meet the requirements of comfort and security of a certain percentage of the user population. That’s why human factors engineering allows to optimize the interactions with the user systems, considering...
