Many important scientific and engineering problems are studied using Cellular Automata (CA) models. Mathematical formulae with component-based modeling concepts are used to specify CA models. Computer simulation tools support viewing the dynamics of CA simulation models. Existing approaches with their tools are restrictive from visual model development perspective since models must be specified...

the potential and performance of various gram-negative, gram-positive and archaeal wild type microorganisms, and bacterial mixed cultures, as well as the application of genetically engineered strains as whole-cell biocatalysts for glycerol-based polyhydroxyalkanoate production are analyzed and assessed. this encompasses the comparison of growth and polyhydroxyalkanoate accumulation kinetics, th...

heat transfer mechanisms and the solidification process are simulated for a continuous casting machine and the geometric shape of the liquid pool is predicted considering different conditions. a heat transfer and solidification model is described for the continuous casting of steel slabs. the model has been established on the basis of the technical conditions of the slab caster in the continuou...

This work deals with effects of asymmetric stiffness on the dynamic behaviour of the rotor system. The analysis is presented through an extended Lagrangian Hamiltonian mechanics on the asymmetric rotor system, where symmetries are broken in terms of the rotor stiffness. The complete dynamics of asymmetries of rotor system is investigated with a case study. In this work, a mathematical model is ...

this paper describes the theoretical and experimental investigations of the key components and also the performance analysis of a rotary wheel for using as a solid desiccant dehumidifier and also indirect evaporator cooling system. solid desiccants have long been used in dehumidification and cooling systems for energy efficiency or reduce electricity. although many mathematical models on the ro...

In this thesis we investigate the locomotion of fish and birds by applying both new and well known mathematical techniques. The two-dimensional model is first studied using Krasny’s vortex blob method, and then a new numerical method based on Wu’s theory1 is developed. To begin with, we will implement Krasny’s ideas for a couple of examples and then switch to the numerical implementation of the...

today hydrogels are considered as the materials that are able to play important role in drug delivery systems. to design an effective hydrogel applicable network, mathematical modeling has a critical role. a successful drug delivery device relies not only on intelligent network design but also on accurate prior mathematical modeling of drug release profiles. in this study, the modeling of the i...

The purpose of this paper is to present a fast, economical and practical method for mathematical modeling of aerodynamic characteristics of rectangular wing-in-ground effect (WIG). Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations were converted to Bernoulli equation by reasonable assumptions. Also Helmbold's equation was developed for calculation of the slope of wing lift coefficient in ground ...
