Applications of Multi-Physics Modeling in Metallurgical Processing

Metallurgical Modelling of Thermomechanical Processing

Multi-physics Modeling Using Cellular Automata

This paper proposes a new modeling and solution method that is relatively simple yet powerful enough to handle complex multi-physics problems. The new methodology is based on a combination of cellular automata, finite difference, and analytical analysis concepts. The basic idea is to construct a cascading sequence of simple, explicit rules of evolution, rather than attempt to solve complicated ...

Modeling of Interfaces: Applications in Surface and Polymer Physics

Title of Thesis: MODELING OF INTERFACES: APPLICATIONS IN SURFACE AND POLYMER PHYSICS Paul Patrone, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Dissertation directed by: Professor Theodore L. Einstein Department of Physics In this dissertation, I give an overview of my work on multiscale modeling of interfaces in crystalline and block-copolymer systems. I focus on two distinct interface systems: steps on vicinal...

Thermal Plasma Torches for Metallurgical Applications

Advances in thermal plasma torches have resulted in this technology becoming a commercially viable solution for chemical and metallurgical processes. The main advantages of plasma are its ability to control process chemistry and to build small footprint reactors due to its high energy density and reactivity of the free radicals that are produced. This paper focuses on thermal plasmas produced b...
