We study a fully inertial discrete model of a martensitic phase transition which takes into account interactions of first and second nearest neighbors. Although the model is Hamiltonian at the microscale^ it generates a nontrivial macroscopic relation between the velocity of the martensitic phase boundary and the conjugate configurational force. The apparent dissipation is due to the induced ra...

observations over the globe. The modeling activities encompass diagnostic studies with a number of radiative transfer codes, particularly the Discrete Ordinate model of Stamnes et al. (1988) (DISORT), and the development of a highly flexible Monte Carlo model to compute the threedimensional (3-D) radiation field for any cloud (liquid water) distribution. In addition, a number of multifractal an...

A number of numer~cal simulations of rack storage fires have been carr~ed out, with various fuel types and burner outputs. Both the standard buoyancy-modified k E turbulence model and a recently developed turbulence model which significantly improves the consideration of the buoyancy effect on turbulence and turbulent transport, were used to study the turbulence of the buoyant flow. The flamele...

The paper compares three distinct conducto-radiative models that can be used for modeling heat transfer at high temperature in view of being integrated within a topology optimization process. Finite elements are extensively used. Non-linearities handled using fixed-point method coupled with Newton–Raphson linearization method. A three-dimensional square lattice is sandwiched between hot and col...

explosion has always been regarded as one of the most complicated engineering problems. as a result, many engineers have preferred rather simplified empirical approaches in comparison to extremely complex deterministic analyses. in this paper, however, a numerical simulation based on the combined finite/discrete element methodology is presented for analyzing the dynamic behavior of fracturing r...
