Computational methods compressibility

Computational methods have played an exceedingly important role in understanding the fundamental aspects of shock compression and in solving complex shock-wave problems. Major advances in the numerical algorithms used for solving dynamic problems, coupled with the tremendous increase in computational capabilities, have made many problems tractable that only a few years ago could not have been solved. It is now possible to perform two-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations with a high degree of accuracy, and three-dimensional problems can also be solved with moderate accuracy. 

In order to reduce the amount of memory required for tabulating absorption coefficient, look-up tables are compressed using Strow s solution [13] of Singular Value Decomposition1. With this method compression factors of the order 10 -100 are obtained, which make possible storage in the computer RAM. 

So far we have performed detailed studies for flow over isolated bodies, for example, curved fractures, shale arrays, and fractured boreholes. Here we will focus on steady and transient-compressible reservoir-scale flows produced by multilateral well systems. Because their topologies are not simple, we turn to computational methods. We will highlight problems that arise in reservoir simulator development, and importantly, we will describe a recently developed, three-dimensional algorithm that is very robust, numerically stable, exceptionally fast, and extremely accurate, and now available to the user community. Engineering implementation is an objective of the work oil companies want practical solutions that optimize operations, profits, and time value of money. The model provides tools that evaluate what if production scenarios, infill drilling strategies, and waterflood sweep efficiencies. In addition to being accurate, the solutions require minimal hardware, software, and costly human resources.

Analogously many computational methods do not provide a correct vertical separation of aromatic stacked clusters [74]. For example the old AMBER 3 force field tends to artificially "compress" correctly stacked structures of base pairs by ca. 0.2 A while the new AMBER 4.1 force field is already properly parameterized in this respect. It can lead to substantial deformations of the correct structures since the energy gradient due to the unoptimized vertical distance is exceptionally very large.

This chapter describes numerical and simulation techniques that are used in computational studies of dense granular materials. In particular, we will focus on computational methods to generate static packings of model granular materials and to measure their response to compression and simple shear deformation modes.
