The difference between the analytical solutions and the coupling method in this paper may exceed 50%, highlighting the significance of more realistic and rigorous simulation of the soil-tunnel interaction, especially for a water-saturated soils scenario.
If, for practical reasons, models with homogeneous properties within each layer are used, we recommend setting nonzero Kds in the vitric tuffs to mimic the more rigorous continuous distribution simulations.
In order to determine the extent to which noise plays a role a more rigorous set of simulations was run, where known positive control data sets were combined with varying quantities of inserted noise.
A more rigorous mathematical model of humidifier is proposed.
The reliability of this approach is evaluated by comparing the results of the PNM analysis with a more rigorous, but much slower, simulation applied to a realistic model material, the virtual porous carbon (VPC).
The proposed approximation is benchmarked against more rigorous methods, including time domain simulation.
This model is able to obtain reasonable prediction compared with the simulation of more rigorous DO models, and is suitable for real-time control of microalgae cultivation in photobioreactors.
However, more rigorous analysis including the full radiation simulation does not show any significant difference in PMV distribution.
To make this investigation more rigorous, we ran similar large-scale simulations to the one which was used to generate Fig. 8, for a range of different connection topologies and channel counts.
Next, Dr. Kane and other scientists at the Lawrence Livermore laboratory want to put the simulation results to a more rigorous test -- experiments with lasers supplying the energy in trying to reproduce such cosmic phenomena.
