In 2003, as Pixar drives hand-crafted animation out of the movies, it's that vision of a hermetically sealed simulation of democracy that is proving to be Walt's most lasting legacy.
It is shown that the sealing performance of the modified seal based on the geometrical parameters suggested by the numerical simulations is significantly better than that of the original seal model.
The pore pressure transmission test was used to measure the sealing performance of SD-SEAL using the simulation equipment for hydro-mechanics coupling of shale shown in Fig. 2 (van Oort 1994, 1997; Xu et al. 2005; Yuan et al. 2012).
Specific to the data used in this study, hydrogeological heterogeneities facilitated the overall penetration of scCO2 within the caprock and promoted the alteration of minerals, thereby weakening the caprock sealing efficiency over the simulation time.
Simulation results suggest seal integrity is enhanced due to carbonate mineral precipitation after 100 years of reaction with CO2-rich fluids [31].
This article explains how the use of computer simulation throughout the seal design process can lead to higher quality, more innovative, and optimal products, which are brought to market quicker and more efficiently than those designed using conventional prototyping and physical testing.
Simulation modelling, assuming increased seal predation, fishing levels consistent with management plan targets and stable salinity, shows that the cod population could reach high levels well above the long-term average.
A design and simulation method for these seals has been developed and validated by measurements on miniaturized actuator prototypes.
This research is part of a wider activity carried out in collaboration with Tetra Pak concerning the modelling and simulation of the Ultrasonic Sealing System (USTS).
The simulation results on the multiple-seal system show that the system of triple seals is better in controlling the leakage than that of the double seals when the seal gap is small; however, when the seal gap increases up to a critical value, the difference between the double- and triple-seal becomes negligible.
