In this paper, we develop an efficient moving mesh weighted essentially nonoscillatory (WENO) method for one-dimensional hyperbolic conservation laws. The method is based on the quasi-Lagrange approach of the moving mesh strategy in which the mesh is considered to move continuously in time. Several issues arising from the implementation of the scheme, including mesh smoothness, mesh movement re...

While outcrop models can provide important information on reservoir architecture and heterogeneity, it is not entirely clear how such information can be used exhaustively in geostatistical reservoir modeling. Traditional, variogram-based geostatistics is inadequate in that regard since the variogram is too limiting in capturing geological heterogeneity from outcrops. A new field, termed multipl...

Computational science applications are driving a demand for increasingly powerful storage systems. While many techniques are available for capturing the I/O behavior of individual application trial runs and specific components of the storage system, continuous characterization of a production system remains a daunting challenge for systems with hundreds of thousands of compute cores and multipl...

The interesting combination of Chapters in this book gives a nice overview of the importance of the analysis of human motion in three different scientific disciplines, computer vision, biomechanics, and computer graphics. In the computer vision field the main goal has been to develop robust and efficient techniques for capturing and measuring human motion. Researchers from biomechanics, on the ...

organizations in order to capture sustainability and competitive advantage need to pay attention to environmental issues throuoghout their supply chain. by decreasing costs, improving image and being protected against environmental laws it can lead to organizational competitive advantage. current research has been done investigating the relationship between green supply chain and capturing cope...

in this paper, the accuracy of k- and k- turbulence models in super sonic boundary layer capturing of smooth/rough flat plates have been comprehensively investigated. among these investigations, some sorts of sensitivity analysis, including change in turbulence model, generated-grid density, near wall affects, c magnitude (for boundary layers generated on smooth flat plates), and change in c...

We consider infinite FPU-type atomic chains with general convex potentials and study the existence of monotone fronts that are heteroclinic travelling waves connecting constant asymptotic states. Iooss showed that small amplitude fronts bifurcate from convex-concave turning points of the force. In this paper we prove that fronts exist for any asymptotic states that satisfy a certain algebraic c...
