Effective thermal conductivity of porous materials and composites as a function of fundamental structural parameters
Journal Title: Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science - Year 2013, Vol 20, Issue 2
Abstract
We conducted thermal conductivity investigations by homogenization. This method can effectively model structural features such as pores within dispersed particle architectures via a finite element mesh. We investigated the factors that determine the effective thermal conductivity of porous structures and composites, such as the volume ratio of the continuous and dispersed phases, conductivity ratio, Biot number and particle packing model.

A mixed, scalable domain decomposition method for incompressible flow
This work deals with the construction of a mixed and extensible domain decomposition method for incompressible flows. In the scheme proposed here, the solution is sought at the intersection of two spaces, one containing...
Validation of an experimental technique with the physically based global method
Validation of an experimental approach requires that both model and data errors are proved to be within acceptable ranges. In case of destructive testing none of the classic, statistically based methods can be applied fo...
Solving thermoelasticity problems by means of Trefftz functions. (Received in the final form January 15, 2010)
The paper presents a new method of approximate solving of the two- and three-dimensional thermoelasticity problems in a finite body. The method presented here can be used for solving direct and inverse problems as well....
Computer-based simulation of plasma concentration time-profiles of drug in nonlinear two-compartment model
The main interest of pharmacokinetics is the study of the fate of drugs in the living organism. This work proposes the system of the conservation laws that describes time-dependent concentrations of a drug, after a singl...
Mathematical and numerical multi-scale modelling of multiphysics problems
In this paper we discuss two multi-scale procedures, both of mathematical nature as opposed to purely numerical ones. Examples are shown for the two cases. Attention is also devoted to thermodynamical aspects such as the...
