Compared to the existing numerical models, the proposed model showed a better agreement with the test results.
The results derived by the newly proposed bolt-slip model were compared with the results derived by the existing numerical model and experimental work.
The components of thermal conductivity (K) and moisture diffusivity (D) are added to the existing numerical model, and their effects are evaluated by comparing numerical results with field measurements via an ATEK Concrete Maturity Meter (ACMM) system.
It was also suggested that the application of a novel numerical optimization method for analyzing H LF-NMR data [ 6, 7] provides better resolved relaxation time distributions and more accurate solutions compared with those shown by existing numerical tools.
As the authors state in the paper, "Our findings imply that the outlet glaciers of Greenland, and the ice sheet as a whole, are probably more vulnerable to ocean thermal forcing and peripheral thinning than inferred previously from existing numerical ice-sheet models".
At an initial step, the problem was defined using an existing numerical groundwater flow model established by Gossel, Stollberg et al. (2009) in the study area.
However, the PZL can not be calculated accurately by using the existing numerical approaches.
Numerical results obtained by the proposed model for the pile are consistent with existing numerical and experimental results, validating the proposed model.
Furthermore, we show how to adapt existing numerical integration routines in order to simulate these models.
For example, few simulator completely support SBML Events, which is an element to describe a discontinuous change to a model with respect to time, number of particles, parameter values, etc. Supporting Events in the simulator requires some effort by developers if they are using one of the existing numerical integration libraries, because most of the integrators assume that the model is continuous.
