Four-site orientational distribution

The rotator phase of n-alkanes was also studied by Monte Carlo simulations [37]. A four-site orientational distribution was found for the orthorhombic... 

Four different three-dimensional numerical infiltration experiments were carried out in a simulated porous medium with a central parallel crack as shown in Fig. 4-2. The lattice size is 10 by 100 by 150 sites in the x, y and z directions, respectively. Solid sites are represented in red. A probabilistic algorithm generated at random the solid distribution of the microporous matrix. The mean microporosity and macroporosity are 0.52, and 0.192, respectively, of the total volume of the medium. A gravity force was simulated as described in Di Pietro et al. (1994), oriented parallel to the crack in the z-downward direction. Void sites (white color in Fig. 4-2) are initially f ss are expressed in arbitrary lat-...
