In this paper, a computerized analysis is performed to evaluate the effect of phase change materials on performance thermoelectric generators. This study was conducted using commercial OpenFOAM software. Analyze changes in temperature, potential and efficiency due materials. The evaluated variety geometric operational conditions, such as material height heat flux. results obtained indicate that...

In many simulation applications, the target system may change its structure unpredictably. The simulation model should adjust in time, to follow the evolving of the target system. In this paper we put forward a new definition of system to accommodate the dynamic structural change, and classify the structural change of system, include change in components, relationships among components and inte...

Land use change is driven by interaction in space and time between humans and the environment that can be captured by computer simulation models (Veldkamp and Verburg, 2004). In the last few decades, land use change models have played an important role in understanding the causes, mechanisms and consequences of land use dynamics. SLEUTH is an open source cellular automata based land use change ...

Simulation is a tool for managing change. Practitioners in business process management know the critical importance of carefully leading organizations and people from old to new ways of doing business, and simulation is one way to accelerate change. This capability derives largely from the ability of simulation to bring clarity to the reasons for change. Simulation provides more than an answer:...

Although change management panaceas have been widely discussed in the business and management literature for several decades, not many publications address the role of simulation modeling in supporting these panaceas. This paper investigates four management innovation and change programs: TQM, JIT, BPR and Process Innovation and discusses how simulation modeling could increase their effectivene...
