More than a new method, this paper presents a new concept for DEM: using NURBS to seamlessly transition from advanced visualization tools (e.g., X-ray CT) to physics-based computational models where particle shape is realistically modeled.
When the model of the system is realistically complicated (e.g. by aging, stand-by, maintenance, etc)., its analytical evaluation soon becomes impractical and one is better off resorting to Monte Carlo simulation techniques which, however, could be computationally burdensome.
A hypothetical scenario is considered where a Radiation Dispersal Device (RDD) with Cs-137 is detonated in a small inhabited area whose drainage system is realistically modeled.
It is debatable how much data is needed to ensure parameters' identifiability in systems biology models, and whether it is realistically achievable.
The comparison of the laboratory and field test data with the present theory confirms that the proposed model can be realistically used to predict the penetration of chloride ions into concrete structures under sea environments.
The spread of malaria is realistically reproduced by the integrated weather disease model for Africa.
Find out what is realistically possible.
We demonstrate that the model is able to realistically hindcast the expansion speed and the inhomogeneous space-time evolution of the transition to agropastoralism in western Eurasia.
The results show that a discrete model is able to realistically predict the experimental pattern of shear zones in the sand interior.
Thus, variations between the different models implicitly express the levels of uncertainty, while letting each individual model be visualized realistically.
