Daniel Berleant and Benjamin Kuipers Department of Computer Sciences University of Texas at Austin Austin, Texas 78712 To be submitted to AAAI-90 & the Qualitative Physics Worksho 1990 Topic: Common Sense Reasoning. Subtopic : Simulation. 2/1590. Abstract Combining numerical and qualitative simulation into one technique allows simulation to be performed even when there is insufficient informati...

sediment flushing of reservoirs is an operational technique, whereby previously accumulated sediments in the reservoirs are hydraulically removed by accelerated flow when the bottom desiltingoutlets of the dam are opened. in this research, the process of sediment flushing is simulated by a three dimensional numerical model in which sediment and flow interaction are reflected in the reservoirs. ...

this paper investigates on control and stabilization of a new hyperchaotic system. the hyperchaotic system is stabilized using a new technique which called generalized backstepping method (gbm). because of its similarity to backstepping approach, this method is called gbm. but, this method is more applicable in comparison with conventional backstepping.  backstepping method is used only for sys...

In this paper we develop a pseudo function approach to obtain relative permeabilities for the numerical simulation of three-dimensional petroleum reservoirs. This approach follows the idea of an experimental approach and combines an analytical solution technique for two-phase flow with a numerical simulation technique for cross-sectional models of these three-dimensional reservoirs. The advanta...

A novel approach is presented to implement continuous Hop eld neural networks, which are modelled by a system of ordinary di erential equations (ODEs). The simulation of a continuous network in a digital computer implies the discretization of the ODE, which is usually carried out by simply substituting the derivative by the di erence, without any further theoretical justi cation. Instead, the n...

Based on the analysis of seepage mechanism of fracturing wells in low permeability reservoir, this paper establishes the capacity model of the vertical fractured well production under the factors of Start-up pressure gradient, pressure sensitive effect and the artificial fracture length. The numerical simulation is compiled and software calculates the capacity model by using numerical simulatio...

Now a day centrifugal pumps are vital components of industries. Certainly, one of the most important specifications of centrifugal pumps are the performance curves. In the present work, performance curves of a centrifugal pumps are obtained by Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and as an outcome, CFD results compare by practical curves. At the first step impeller and volute are designed with tw...

a new model is proposed for two-dimensional simulation of the concrete fracture in compression. the model generated by using the voronoi diagram method and with considering random shape and distribution of full graded aggregates at the mesoscopic level. the aggregates modeled by combining irregular polygons, which then is placed into the concrete with no intersection between them. by this new m...
