Since the Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy (CFL) condition based on the speed of sound is improved according to an artificial coefficient for pressure fluctuation terms, the time increment in the proposed method can be set on the same order as that of a conventional semi-implicit method which treats pressure terms in momentum and energy equations implicitly. As a result of the application to the natural convection in a square cavity, it is demonstrated that the proposed fully explicit method enables to conduct computations reasonably about 6 ∼ 8 times faster than the conventional semi-implicit method by setting the appropriate value of the artificial coefficient for pressure fluctuation terms.","PeriodicalId":41942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Simulation in Science and Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2019-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46506898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose a computational strategy for investigating structural change of tritium-substituted macromolecules. Effects of radiation on macromolecules such as polymeric materials and DNA are classified into three categories: (1) direct action, (2) indirect action, and (3) decay effect. In this study, we focus on the decay effect exclusively. After a beta decay of substituted tritium in macromolecules to helium-3, the generated inert helium-3 is assumed to be deleted quickly. To get an insight into the decay effect to the damage of macromolecules, we perform molecular dynamics simulations of tritium-deleted macromolecules and analyze their structural change. Preliminary simulation results of decay effect on polymeric materials and DNA are presented.","PeriodicalId":41942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Simulation in Science and Engineering","volume":"87 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67360663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the computations of incompressible fuids, it is essentially important to obtain accurately the velocity components that satisfy the incompressible condition ( ∇ · u = 0) as well as the pressure variables which are consistent with the velocity felds. For this purpose, a pressure-velocity correction method (C-HSMAC method) has been proposed by Ushijima et al. (2002) with a fnite volume method (FVM) for incompressible fuids. The purpose of this paper is to estimate the e ff ects of the unsatisfed incompressible condition on the passive scalar convection and to confrm that the C-HSMAC method is able to suppress them. The C-HSMAC and usual SMAC methods were applied to the passive scalar convection in the cavity having an oscillating top wall. It was concluded that the unsatisfed incompressible condition may cause the unphysical scalar overshoots in the SMAC method. In contrast, the C-HSMAC method enables us to control |∇ · u | with the given threshold ϵ D and to suppress such overshoots. In addition, it was demonstrated that the C-HSMAC method allows us to obtain reasonable results without overshoots even in combination with a higher-order scheme for convection terms with fner cell divisions.","PeriodicalId":41942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Simulation in Science and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67359652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One advantage of the proposed method is that it can get executed on GPU, which can significantly reduce the execution time for processing a large number of data. The proposed network is trained using synthetic data. A trajectory simulator that generates random trajectories is proposed. We used a publicly available dataset to evaluate the proposed method for the task of trajectory clustering.

Large-scale simulations have widely been conducted on modern High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems in a variety of scientific and engineering fields, and scientific visualization has been a popular approach for analyzing and extracting meaningful information from the simulation results. In this work, we focused on Particle Based Volume Rendering (PBVR) method because of its proven effectiveness for handling non-trivial unstructured volume data, which is still commonly used on numerical simulations in the engineering fields. PBVR possesses a visibility sorting-free characteristics thanks to its use of small and opaque particles as the rendering primitives. However, there is a memory cost and image quality trade-off because of the necessity of storing the entire sets of generated particle data before starting the rendering process. In this paper, we present a memory cost efficient parallel PBVR approach for enabling high-quality and high-resolution PBVR of large-scale numerical simulation results. For this purpose, we focused on the image data gathering and processing instead of traditional particle data gathering and processing by using the sort-last parallel image composition approach. We evaluated its effectiveness on the K computer by using the Binary-Swap-based 234Compositor library, and verified its potential for reducing the memory cost while generating high-quality and high-resolution image data.","PeriodicalId":41942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Simulation in Science and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.15748/JASSE.6.1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67359221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
