2D and 3D Numerical Models of the Growth of Foraminiferal Shells
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper focuses on modelling and visualisation of mineral shells of foraminifera (unicellular aquatic, mainly marine, organisms). Our recent model follows the moving reference approach of theoretical modelling of foraminiferal shells. This model introduces three important aspects of simulations, i.e. non-circular chamber shapes (in 2D), allometry of chambers and three dimensional simulation space. The resulted “theoretical shells” closely mimics morphology and variability of recent and fossil foraminifera. The model is presented as an applet at http://www.icsr.agh.edu.pl/foraminifera.

Upper Gotvand dam is constructed on the Karun River located in the south west of Iran. In this paper, 2D and 3D models of the dam together with the foundation and abutments were constructed and several seepage analyses were carried out. Then the gypsum veins scattered throughout the foundation ground and also the seepage pattern were included in the models, hence the dissolution law of gypsum, ...

Over the past decades, urban growth has been known as a worldwide phenomenon that includes widening process and expanding pattern. While the cities are changing rapidly, their quantitative analysis as well as decision making in urban planning can benefit from two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) digital models. The recent developments in imaging and non-imaging sensor technologies, s...
