Interactive Meso‐scale Simulation of Skyscapes

Mesoscale Simulation of Grain Growth

Simulation is becoming an increasingly important tool, not only in materials science in a general way, but in the study of grain growth in particular. Here we exhibit a consistent variational approach to the mesoscale simulation of large systems of grain boundaries subject to Mullins Equation of curvature driven growth. Simulations must be accurate and at a scale large enough to have statistica...

Interactive Simulation of Fire

In this paper we describe a fast and interactive model to simulate and control the fire phenomenon. We use a modified interactive fluid dynamics solver to describe the motion of a 3-gas system. We simulate the motion of oxidizing air, fuel gases, and exhaust gases. The burning process is simulated by consuming fuel and air based on the amounts of fuel and air inside each grid cell. The combusti...

An Approach to the Mesoscale Simulation of Grain Growth

The simulation of curvature driven growth in grain boundary systems is becoming an important tool in understanding the behavior of microstructure evolution and there is much distinguished work in this subject. Here we address the mesoscale simulation of large systems of grain boundaries subject to the Mullins equation of curvature driven growth with the Herring force balance equation imposed at...
