We use the Cellular Potts Model to simulate a foam under a variable driving force in order to investigate the strain-rate response from these rearrangements. We observe a set of foams' behaviors ranging from elastic, viscoelastic to fluid regime. Bubble's topological rearrangements are localized and their cumulative rearrangements change linearly with time, thus nonavalanches critical behavior is found. The strain-rate affects the rate of topological rearrangements, its dependence on the drag force is nonlinear, obeying a Herschel–Bulkley-like relationship below the foam's flow point.","PeriodicalId":45889,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Modeling Simulation and Scientific Computing","volume":"21 1","pages":"1441007"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84364053","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}

Several methodologies have been developed based on classical mathematics, or statistics and also new disciplines — such as soft-computing techniques — appeared. Petri Nets as one of the most naturalistic modeling methodologies are well suited to describe complex process in general. However in some fields of modeling the describing power of basic Petri Nets proved not to be robust enough, therefore several extensions were made to the original concept. Colored tokens (Colored Petri Nets), stochastic delayed streaming of mobile entities (Stochastic Petri Nets), object oriented architecture (Object Oriented Petri Nets), numerical (Numerical Petri Nets) and linguistic attributes (Fuzzy Petri Nets) broaden the range of capabilities. In some fields of problem solving, usage of static and mobile knowledge bases is needed: e.g., flexible manufacturing systems, or intelligent traffic simulation. These problems to be investigated involved new conceptual developments of Petri Nets and led to the introduction of Knowledge Attributed Petri Nets. At the same time distributed control in simulation appeared, intelligent agents supported the connection of mobile knowledge bases and static inference engines in an effective way. The mentioned extensions brought general support in model synthesis, but some unsolved questions remained related to the implementation of intelligent mobile entities. This paper highlights a new level of AI controlled simulation introducing the Extended Knowledge Attributed Petri Nets that offer the capability of easy implementation of mobile inference engines and knowledge base, providing general mobile AI in Petri Nets.","PeriodicalId":45889,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Modeling Simulation and Scientific Computing","volume":"222 1","pages":"1350028"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2014-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79960432","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}

After backfilling the velocity vectors field, it adopts the K-means cluster to obtain several classes, in each class, it takes advantage of the Rayleigh distribution to fit the height field of fluid. Finally, the reconstruction result of fluid is obtained. In addition, it demonstrates the results of the height field of fluid in the experiment.

This work presents a post-processing method that analyzes the solidification pattern formed by simulation of the solidification process of molten metal in a mold to produce shaped castings. Simulations generally involve numerical solutions of differential equations which are discretized by dividing the three-dimensional computational domain into small finite volume elements using a 3D grid. The locations of the grid points and values of the solidification time at these locations are used to divide the spatial data into 3D sections such that starting from a hotspot location within the section that has high solidification time, there is a gradient outwards with lower values of solidification time. Each section is assumed to be fed by one or more feeders that must freeze only after the section has solidified completely. The volume of a feeder can be determined from the volume of the section it is supposed to feed. The volume and surface area of sections are determined approximately to calculate feeder size and dimensions. The post-processing algorithm is a simulation-based quantitative approach to feeder design which in conventional foundry practice has been more of an art than science. It is also general enough for use in other 3D segmentation applications.","PeriodicalId":45889,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Modeling Simulation and Scientific Computing","volume":"1 1","pages":"1341005"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2013-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88401634","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}

Reactant A is premixed into the jet flow, and reactant B is premixed into the ambient flow. DNS is performed at three different Damkohler numbers (Da = 0.1,1, and 10). Damkohler number is a ratio of a time scale of a flow to that of chemical reactions, and in this study, the large Da means a fast chemical reaction, and the small Da means a slow chemical reaction. The visualization of velocity field shows that the jet flow is developed by entraining the ambient fluid. The visualization of concentration of reactant A shows that concentration of reactant A for Da = 1 and 10 becomes very small in the downstream region because the chemical reaction consumes the reactants and reactant A is diffused with the jet development. By comparison of the profiles of chemical reaction rate and concentration of product R, it is found that product R for Da = 10 is produced by the chemical reaction at the interface between the jet and the ambient fluids and is diffused into the jet flow, whereas product R for Da = 0.1 is produced in the jet flow after reactants A and B are well mixed.","PeriodicalId":45889,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Modeling Simulation and Scientific Computing","volume":"9 1","pages":"1341001"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2013-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87809095","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}

To extract the dynamic behaviors of the water mass and its mixture from a large-scale simulated ocean dataset, we developed an efficient visualization system by applying our volume compression method and our volume rendering method. This system allows us to investigate the time-varying distributions of ocean physical properties, additionally from the user's perspective and requirements. In the experiments, we show the generality and expressiveness by applying our system for single- and multi-property visualizations to find some significant ocean water mass.
