Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) is one of the most important methods for producing Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs). In this research, a numerical model, based on finite volume method, is investigated. The applied method solves the conservation of mass, momentum, energy and species transport equations with aid of ideal gas law. Using this model, the growth rate and thickness uniformity of produced CNTs,...

Tropical meridional ocean heat transport is studied in six coupled ocean-atmosphere models in which atmospheric CO 2 concentration has been increased. In the Indo-Pacific, the strength of Subtropical Cells (STCs) changes in response to changes in the trade winds. However, the change is not consistent among models. In contrast, in all models the tropical Indo-Pacific heat transport remains nearl...

Many shading models are able to provide realistic rendering of lighting effects under various atmospheric conditions but computational times are often expensive. This paper proposes a method to render lighting effects within participating media in real-time on a graphics workstation. It consists of mathematical approximations based on a re-formulation of the light transport equation considering...

Abstract Pathogenic fungi are a leading cause of crop disease and primarily spread through microscopic, durable spores adapted differentially for both persistence dispersal via soil, animals, water, and/or the atmosphere. Computational Earth system models air pollution have been used to simulate atmospheric spore transport aerial-dispersal-adapted (airborne) rust diseases, but importance soil-d...
