We have developed open-source finite-element software for 2-D and 3-D dynamic and quasi-static modeling of crustal deformation. This software, PyLith 1.0, combines the quasi-static modeling functionality of PyLith 0.8 and its predecessors (LithoMop and Tecton) and the dynamic modeling functionality of EqSim. The target applications contain spatial scales ranging from tens of meters to hundreds ...

We study the synchronization of two chaotic maps with unidirectional (master-slave) coupling. Both maps have an intrinsic delay n1, and coupling acts with a delay n2. Depending on the sign of the difference n1 − n2, the slave map can synchronize to a future or a past state of the master system. The stability properties of the synchronized state are studied analytically, and we find that they ar...

There is an increasing need for the comprehensive simulation of complex, dynamic, physical systems. Often such simulations are built by coupling existing, component models so that their concurrent simulations affect each other. The process of model coupling is, however, a nontrivial task that is not adequately supported by existing frameworks. To provide better support, we have developed an app...

This work deals with the near-field, sub-wavelength imaging of nanoscale objects using a thin silver film (near-field lens, NFL). As an example object, we consider a thin circular nanowire illuminated by a ppolarized plane wave. The simulation considers the coupling between the object and the lens and is based on the addition theorems of cylindrical and plane waves. We compare the realistic ima...

Drying represents one of the oldest unit operations employed in industrial processes. Drying is viewed as a process of simultaneous heat and mass transfer. Porous Clay-like material undergoes stresses due to non-uniform distribution of temperature and moisture induced by heat and mass transfer respectively. The aim of this work is to simulate the stresses induced by heat and mass transfer durin...

A systematic study of the spin configuration of ferromagnetic(core)/antiferromagnetic(shell) nanocomposite particles was carried out by two approaches: micromagnetic and atomistic simulations. In the case of strong interlayer exchange coupling between ferromagnet and antiferromagnet, the micromagnetic simulation result is consistent with the atomistic simulation result. However, in the case of ...

We present a detailed study on the behavior of coupling-induced resonance frequency shift (CIFS) in dielectric microring resonators. CIFS is related to the phase responses of the coupling region of the resonator coupling structure, which are examined for various geometries through rigorous numerical simulations. Based on the simulation results, a model for the phase responses of the coupling st...

Virtual reality has been demonstrated to be very useful in the visualization of science and the synthesis of vast amounts of data Further advances in high speed networks make feasible the coupling of supercomputer simulations and virtual environments The critical performance issue to be addressed with this coupling is the end to end lag time i e the delay between a user input and the result of ...

Aperture coupling is the main coupling mode through which electromagnetic pulse (EMP), ultra wideband (UWB) and high power microwave (HPM) can disturb or damage electronic equipments of the missile enclosure. To get knowledge of the coupling effects of apertures with different shapes and positions, coupling processes of HPM into the missile enclosure are investigated. The simulation results ind...

This paper presents a construction of a controllable reactor of transformer type (CRT) with multifold magnetic materials, and the construction based on the magnetic-integration techniques is used to weaken the magnetic coupling effect among control windings and eliminate requirement of series current limiting reactance. At last, based on the proposed equivalent circuit of integrated magnetic st...
