Geometric approximation

This disagreement between theory and practice must therefore partly be due to the non-Newtonian shear-thinning viscosity. This conclusion is supported by the work of Kiparissides and Vlacopoulos (35), who showed that for a Power Law model fluid, lower n values reduce the disagreement between theory and experiments, as illustrated in Fig. 6.27. They used the FEM for computing the pressure profile, which eliminates the geometrical approximations needed in the Gaskell model.

In between Koopmans and ASCF calculations, a method was developed termed the transition operator method [12], in which the Fock operator involved in the calculation of the electronic structure of the ionized species is modified so as to adjust an occupation of 1/2 in the ionized core level. Fairly good results were obtained with this approach, as well as with improved versions involving third-order perturbation corrections to the transition operator method, followed by extrapolation using a geometric approximation [13].
