Climate and ocean models use a series of equations to represent complex natural processes. However, the equations used in ...

Structural equation modeling (SEM) encompasses such diverse statistical techniques as path analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, causal modeling with latent variables, and even analysis of variance ...

Plasma-surface interactions (PSI) play a crucial role in microelectronics fabrication; however, their multiscale nature and array of complex, often unknown interactions make computational modeling of ...

In the past few decades, the use of phase field-modeling equations for mathematical modeling has progressed. Phase separation has been studied extensively in thermodynamics and materials engineering, ...

Despite substantial growth in wind energy technology in recent decades, aerodynamic modeling of wind turbines relies on momentum models derived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which are ...

In Chapter 1, verification is defined as the process of determining how accurately a computer program (“code”) correctly solves the equations of a mathematical model. This includes code verification ...

Computational models and simulations have had an important role in engineering analysis since as far back as the 1960s. It is widely recognized that the use of modeling and simulation tools can make ...

A new model can predict fracture widths quickly in the field based on logged well data and adaptations of existing models. Operators experiencing drilling mud loss through natural fractures must ...
