Kriging is an advanced geostatistical procedure that generates an estimated surface or 3D model from a scattered set of points. This method can be used for estimating resources using a grid of sampled boreholes. However, conventional ordinary kriging (OK) is unable to take locally varying anisotropy (LVA) into account. A numerical approach has been presented that generates an LVA field by calcu...

An adaptive remeshing procedure based on a cell volume deformation method is presented. Starting with an initial grid, this method offers direct cell volume control through the specification of the transformation Jacobian. Grid points are moved with appropriate grid velocities so that the specified cell volume distribution can be achieved at the end of the grid movement without adding or removi...

The robot localization problem requires a mobile robot to determine its current location in an environment, given some initial information about the environment. We assume that the robot’s environment is represented by an occupancy grid. The grid is a rectangle of square cells, each of which is either obstructed or unobstructed. All the edge cells of the rectangle are obstructed. The robot can ...

A two dimensional numerical model of shallow water equations was developed to calculate sub and super-critical open channel flows. Utilizing an implicit scheme the steady state equations were discretized based on a control volume method. Collocated grid arrangement was applied with a SIMPLEC like algorithm for depth-velocity coupling. A power law scheme was used for discretization of convection...

Mounting evidence shows mammalian brains are probabilistic computers, but the specific cells involved remain elusive. Parallel research suggests that grid cells of the mammalian hippocampal formation are fundamental to spatial cognition but their diverse response properties still defy explanation. No plausible model exists which explains stable grids in darkness for twenty minutes or longer, de...

In this paper, we have used a control volume method to investigate the problem of a fully coupled fluid flow with heat transfer in a rectangular domain with slip wall boundary conditions. We have used this method to solve the governing equations and thereby to compute the convective and diffusive fluxes at the cell faces of the control volumes considered around the grid points of computational ...
