There has been significant interest in the role that carbonaceous aerosols play as radiatively important species in climate and visibility reduction, as potential toxic agents to human health in urban regions, and as surfaces that can catalyze atmospheric chemical reactions. These aerosols are a mixture of primary organic matter that is emitted from a number of sources, including mobile sources...

The purpose of this paper is to define the product related neutrosophic topological space and proved some theorems based on this. We introduce the concept of neutrosophic semiopen sets and neutrosophic semi-closed sets in neutrosophic topological spaces and derive some of their characterization. Finally, we analyze neutrosophic semi-interior and neutrosophic semi-closure operators also. Mathema...

Modified Moving Particle Semi-implicit (MMPS) is a particle-based method used to simulate pore-scale fluid flow through disordered porous media. We present a multi-GPU implementation of MMPS for hybrid CPU–GPU clusters using NVIDIA’s Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA). Message Passing Interface (MPI) functions are used to communicate between different nodes of the cluster and hence thei...

Printing short fibre/thermoplastic composites using the fused filament fabrication method sometimes creates a gap between print paths. In this study, two-dimensional moving particle semi-implicit for liquid simulation was applied to simulate print-path fusion process. The three-dimensional movement of nozzle simulated sliding motion nozzle. printing carbon fibre/polyamide-6 composites, and resu...

Phase-field simulations have been extensively applied to modeling microstructure evolution during various materials processes. However, large-scale simulations of three-dimensional (3D) microstructures are still computationally expensive. Among recent efforts to develop advanced numerical algorithms, the semi-implicit Fourier spectral method is found to be particularly efficient for systems inv...

A semi-implicit orbit-averaged time-integration algorithm has been successfully implemented in a gyrokinetic particle simulation code for the study of self-consistent phenomena in a strongly magnetized plasma. The semi-implicit aspect of the integration scheme relaxes the timestep constraints required to insure numerical stability. The orbit averaging is useful in reducing statistical noise and...

In this work, the effect of particle size on the enzymatic hydrolysis of milled and sieved sugarcane bagasse (SCB) was studied. The enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentability of superfine ground SCB (SGP400) using an enzyme cocktail strategy were also explored. Particle size reduction improved the enzymatic hydrolysis. The highest glucose yield was 44.75%, which was obtained from SGP400. The enzym...

In order to investigate a single vacuum bubble collapse near the free surface and the rigid boundary, the moving particle simulation (MPS) method has been used. Liquid and gas phase were defined by the moving particles and bobble shape was determined by the position of interface particle. The calculation was performed with four parameters; bubble radius, distances from free surface or rigid bou...
