Simulation is the process of executing a model that describes a system with enough detail; this model has its entities, an internal state, some input and output variables and a list of processes bound to these variables....

"In present work, a finite element model is developed for the hydraulic fracturing process applicable to a stage of a horizontal well in a shale formation, using the joint representation of the clusters that compose it. ...

From the Publisher: This second edition of Modeling and Analysis includes a chapter on Simulation in Manufacturing Systems and examples. The text is designed for a one-term or two-quarter course in simulation offered in ...

"Climate change communication efforts grounded in the information deficit model have largely failed to close the gap between scientific and public understanding of the risks posed by climate change. In response, simulati...

This article presents a proposal of a multithreaded core for an OSI/ISO management agents including its modeling, simulation and performance evaluation. The proposed model i s compared against another one (unthreaded cor...

This paper is an attempt to define how a specific data structure might be used to store, in a persistent manner, temporal information during a computer simulation. In particular, it considers the sort of temporal informa...

The distributed simulation for high performance models has been carried-out into a very useful and low-cost tool. In the present work their application to an individual oriented model (Fish Schools) is analyzed. To do th...

This paper presents an evolution of a simulation environment where situations in which a DDB should maintain data integrity are modeled and implemented. These situations include failures taking place during transactions,...

Computer simulations using Cellular Automata (CA) have been applied with considerable success in diferent scientific areas, such as chemistry, biochemistry, economy, physics, etc. In this work we use CA in order to speci...

Simulation is the process of executing a model, that is a representation of a system with enough detail to describe it but not too excessive. This model has a set of entities, an internal state, a set of input variables ...

"A wide availability of in field Oil & Gas facilities which still have a marginal productive life can be a good opportunity to produce geothermal energy. The challenge is to make good decisions about the company’s asse...

In this paper we present a new mixed-variables symplectic tree code for planetesimal dynamics, which allows to use a very large number of particles in numerical simulations of planet disk interaction. Furthermore, we dis...

The topic of this paper is related to the study of what is known in the industry as the “parent-child” effect. This is accomplished by using a coupled hydraulic fracture and reservoir simulator to perform a sensitivi...

Abstract This book provides a practical guide to molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulation techniques used in the modelling of simple and complex liquids. Computer simulation is an essential tool in studying the chem...

First-principles simulation, meaning density-functional theory calculations with plane waves and pseudopotentials, has become a prized technique in condensed-matter theory. Here I look at the basics of the suject, give a...

Molecular simulation is an extremely useful, but computationally very expensive tool for studies of chemical and biomolecular systems. Here, we present a new implementation of our molecular simulation toolkit GROMACS whi...

The Gibbs sampler, the algorithm of Metropolis and similar iterative simulation methods are potentially very helpful for summarizing multivariate distributions. Used naively, however, iterative simulation can give mislea...

Watershed models are powerful tools for simulating the effect of watershed processes and management on soil and water resources. However, no comprehensive guidance is available to facilitate model evaluation in terms of ...

Adequate initial configurations for molecular dynamics simulations consist of arrangements of molecules distributed in space in such a way to approximately represent the system's overall structure. In order that the simu...

It is common practice to build Stated Preference (SP) attributes and alternatives from observed Revealed Preference (RP) choices with a view to increasing realism. While many surveys pivot all alternatives around an obse...

"Chemical processes simulation is an important instrument for the design, optimization and control of industrial plants. Simulation cases can be accomplished with relatively low costs and the absence of risks for the ope...

"This article reports the ongoing work on an environment for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and software-in-the-loop (SIL) tests of CubeSats and the benefits gained from using such an environment for low-cost satellite devel...

In recent times, materials exhibiting frequency-dependent optical nonlinearities, such as nanoparticle-doped glasses and other metamaterials, have gathered significant interest. The simulation of the propagation of inten...
