Our numerical modeling also implies that the temperature distribution in the skin exposed to PEF is not homogeneous, and rather depends on the thermal and electrical properties of the particular skin layer (Fig. 6d,e).
However, our numerical model also suggested that lasting activation of these receptors restore physiological intracellular chloride concentrations and suppress HPDs.
Predictions of local concentration polarization, permeate flux, and solute rejection by film theory and the numerical model also agreed well for realistic ranges of RO process operating conditions.
The results showed that the predicted loading capacity and the failure mode obtained from the simplified numerical model also compared well to the experimental results, with good efficiency and convergence in computation.
The dynamic behaviour of a breakwater founded on rockfill and soft clay during the 1995 Kobe earthquake is back-calculated to show the good performance of the proposed numerical model also with a structure.
In order to achieve design optimization of these systems, it is important to develop an accurate Finite Element Analysis methodology, to support their precise numerical modeling, also in the worst loading case for their operation.
Moreover, the numerical model also provides some additional useful results which are difficult to measure during testing, including the distribution of the pressure and frictional forces between the end plate and column flange induced by the bolt pretension and the moment at the joint, and the principal stress flow in the connections.
The numerical model also features a transport equation for particle flux.
Numerical modeling also provides new insights as observations and new discoveries are integrated into our physical understanding and then tested in computer simulations which validate new notions as well as produce entirely new theoretical findings, many of which are otherwise unattainable.
