Modeled geometry

Some more recent software uses the tensor LEED approximation of Rous and Pen-dry which can save a substantial amount of computer time [2.268-2.270]. In tensor LEED the amplitudes (0) of all escaping electron waves (spots) are first calculated conventionally as described above for a certain reference geometry. Then the derivatives of these amplitudes 5Ag/5ri with respect to small displacements of each atom i in this reference geometry are calculated. These derivatives are the constituents of the "tensor". The wave amplitude for a modified model geometry where atom i is displaced by the vector Aq is then approximately given by ...

Figure 2.43 Model geometry for the CFD calculations on flow in curved micro channels (above) and time evolution of two initially vertical fluid lamellae over a cross-section of the channel (below), taken from [139].The secondary flow is visualized by streamlines projected on to the cross-sectional area of the channel. The upper row shows results for fC = 150 and the lower row for K = 300.

To create a useful CFD simulation the model geometry needs to be defined and the proper boundary conditions applied. Defining the geometry for a CFD simulation of a packed tube implies being able to specify the exact position and, for nonspherical particles, orientation of every particle in the bed. This is not an easy task. Our experience with different types of experimental approaches has convinced us that they are all too inaccurate for use with CFD models. This leads to the conclusion that the tube packing must either be computergenerated or be highly structured so that the particle positions can be calculated analytically.

Numerical calculations for the residual stresses in the anode-supported cells are carried out using ABAQUS. After modeling the geometry of the cell of the electro-lyte/anode bi-layer, the residual thermal stresses at room temperature are calculated. The cell model is divided into 10 by 10 meshes in the in-plane direction and 20 submeshes in the out-plane direction. In the calculation, it is assumed that both the electrolyte and anode are constrained each other below 1400°C and that the origin of the residual stresses in the cell is only due to the mismatch of TEC between the electrolyte and anode. The model geometry is 50 mm x 50 mm x 2 mm. The mechanical properties and cell size used for the stress calculation are listed in Table 10.5.

The model geometry with 16-channels is used, and half the model is drawn in the figure.

In the Moller-Plesset perturbation method, the correlated system is considered to be a perturbation of the Hartree-Fock system. Consequently, each correlated configuration may be expressed as a linear combination of HF configurations. The acronyms MP2, MP3, MP4, etc. indicate Moiler-Plesset methods truncated at the second, third or fourth order of perturbation. Only the MP2 method is of common use. In higher order MP models, geometry must be optimized numerically.
