[1] To better inform the subsurface scientist on the expected performance of parallel simulators, this work investigates performance of the reactive multiphase flow and multicomponent biogeochemical transport code PFLOTRAN as it is applied to several realistic modeling scenarios run on the Jaguar supercomputer. After a brief introduction to the code's parallel layout and code design, PFLOTRAN's...

Spatial layout design must consider not only ease of movement for pedestrians under normal conditions, but also their safety in panic situations, such as an emergency evacuation in a theatre, stadium or hospital. Using pedestrian simulation statistics, the movement of crowds can be used to study the consequences of different spatial layouts. Previous works either create an optimal spatial arran...

The relayout of the production facilities needs to be carried out by a manufacturer if there is new product produced that has different material flow from existing product. If layout initial facility maintained, will become irregular and lead long transfer distances substantial handling costs. One method can used for fractal method. This suitable job shop system because it could provide high le...

There is an increasing demand to simulate and optimize the performance profit of comminution circuits, especially in low-grade ore processing, as case with critical metals minerals. Recent research has shown that optimization result greatly influenced by quality aspects products, such cost, profit, capacity. This paper presents a novel approach performing multi-objective technical economic anal...

Owing to the unreasonable layout problem and the excessive number of gas station in some regions of China, this paper attempts to discuss the principle of rationality and related factors for the gas station layout. In determining the relationship between the number of stations and motor vehicle demand, this paper simulates the vehicle’s selection of price by using Starlogo simulation platform. ...

Abstract Wind farm Annual Energy Production (AEP) calculations are required to design energy efficient wind layouts. We investigate methods that can reduce the computational effort of AEP using Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulations an idealized atmospheric setup. In addition, we introduce a generalized turbine model compares well with aerodynamic data covering large range sizes. apply gen...

Optimization-based analog layout automation does not yet find evident acceptance in the industry due to the complexity of the design problem. This paper presents a Self-organized Wiring and Arrangement of Responsive Modules (SWARM), able to consider crucial design constraints both implicitly and explicitly. The flexibility of algorithmic methods and the expert knowledge captured in PCells combi...

We present a new application for graph drawing in the context of graphical model-based system design, where manual placing of graphical items is still state-of-the-practice. The KIELER framework aims at improving this by offering novel user interaction techniques, enabled by automatic layout of the diagrams. In this paper we present extensions of the well-known hierarchical layout approach, ori...

Much of the research in facility layout has focused on static layouts where the material handling flow is assumed to be constant during the planning horizon. But in today’s market-based, dynamic environment, layout rearrangement may be required during the planning horizon to maintain layout effectiveness. A few algorithms have been proposed to solve this problem. They include dynamic programmin...
