Lookup

Cellsim s universe consists of a 512 x 512 array. The program itself is completely menu-driven and includes these features (1) 256-state computed-function rules, in addition to lookup-tables, on both the Sun and CM (2) creation of look-up tables using Langton s lambda parameter (see section 3.2) (3) the ability to save images in Sun raster format and (4) the ability to generate lookup tables with standalone C code. Cellsim can be obtained via anonymous ftp on the Internet to think.com.

An area of development is the inclusion of code necessary for free energy perturbation calculations for internal, van der Waals and electrostatic energy terms ( ). Another area of development is the option to use lookup tables for both nonbond energies and for constraint energy terms such as a solvent boundary energy term (16). Other features and options are routinely added as needed to aid in the execution of current projects underway within the NIH. 

In an earlier section, we had alluded to the need to stop the reasoning process at some point. The operationality criterion is the formal statement of that need. In most problems we have some understanding of what properties are easy to determine. For example, a property such as the processing time of a batch is normally given to us and hence is determined by a simple database lookup. The optimal solution to a nonlinear program, on the other hand, is not a simple property, and hence we might look for a simpler explanation of why two solutions have equal objective function values. In the case of our branch-and-bound problem, the operationality criterion imposes two requirements ... 

In a fluid model the correct calculation of the source terms of electron impact collisions (e.g. ionization) is important. These source terms depend on the EEDF. In the 2D model described here, the source terms as well as the electron transport coefficients are related to the average electron energy and the composition of the gas by first calculating the EEDF for a number of values of the electric field (by solving the Boltzmann equation in the two-term approximation) and constructing a lookup table. 

Figure 26, shown earlier, is a simple form of input mapping called table lookup. A more complicated inference mechanism is illustrated in Fig. 30. Here we see a simple example from a fluidized catalytic cracking unit in which multiple product quality attributes can be explained by multiple operating parameters (Ramesh et al., 1992).

Dispersion model calculations are normally used to estimate downwind concentrations these concentrations are the basis for determining the consequences resulting from toxicity, fires, and/or explosions. For those not interested in using dispersion models, the standard includes lookup tables for all the listed substances to help a facility determine the impact distances for specific release scenarios.

Consequence-Based Ranking Systems Release consequence modeling can be used to rank potential chemical hazards. For example, the USEPAs RMP regulations require consequence modeling for a predefined worst-case scenario—release of the entire contents of the largest container of a material in 10 min. EPA provides lookup tables and software (RMPComp) to assist in estimating the hazard distances for materials covered by the RMP regulations.

Figure 5.10. Sketch of one-dimensional mixture-fraction chemical lookup table. For any value of the mixture fraction, the reacting scalars can be found from the pre-computed table in a post-processing stage of the flow calculation.

Note that the numerical simulation of the turbulent reacting flow is now greatly simplified. Indeed, the only partial-differential equation (PDE) that must be solved is (5.100) for the mixture-fraction vector, which involves no chemical source term Moreover, (5.151) is an initial-value problem that depends only on the inlet and initial conditions and is parameterized by the mixture-fraction vector it can thus be solved independently of (5.100), e.g., in a pre(post)-processing stage of the flow calculation. For a given value of , the reacting scalars can then be stored in a chemical lookup table, as illustrated in Fig. 5.10.

In the equilibrium-chemistry limit, the turbulent-reacting-flow problem thus reduces to solving the Reynolds-averaged transport equations for the mixture-fraction mean and variance. Furthermore, if the mixture-fraction field is found from LES, the same chemical lookup tables can be employed to find the SGS reacting-scalar means and covariances simply by setting x equal to the resolved-scale mixture fraction and x2 equal to the SGS mixture-fraction variance.88... 

Because x appears as a parameter in the flamelet model, in numerical implementations a flamelet library (Pitsch and Peters 1998 Peters 2000) is constructed that stores T( , x ) forO < < 1 in a lookup table parameterized by ( ), (4, 2),and x - Based on the definition of a flamelet, at any point in the flow the reaction zone is assumed to be isolated so that no interaction occurs between individual flamelets. In order for this to be true, the probabilities of finding f = 0 and f = 1 must both be non-zero. 

In theory, an arbitrary number of scalars could be used in transported PDF calculations. In practice, applications are limited by computer memory. In most applications, a reaction lookup table is used to store pre-computed changes due to chemical reactions, and models are limited to five to six chemical species with arbitrary chemical kinetics. Current research efforts are focused on smart tabulation schemes capable of handling larger numbers of chemical species. 

Fractional time stepping is widely used in reacting-flow simulations (Boris and Oran 2000) in order to isolate terms in the transport equations so that they can be treated with the most efficient numerical methods. For non-premixed reactions, the fractional-time-stepping approach will yield acceptable accuracy if A t r . Note that since the exact solution to the mixing step is known (see (6.248)), the stiff ODE solver is only needed for (6.249), which, because it can be solved independently for each notional particle, is uncoupled. This fact can be exploited to treat the chemical source term efficiently using chemical lookup tables.
