Numerical modeling tensor

Abstract We use Nuclear Magnetic Resonance relaxometry (i.e. the frequency variation of the NMR relaxation rates) of quadrupolar nucleus ( Na) and H Pulsed Gradient Spin Echo NMR to determine the mobility of the counterions and the water molecules within aqueous dispersions of clays. The local ordering of isotropic dilute clay dispersions is investigated by NMR relaxometry. In contrast, the NMR spectra of the quadrupolar nucleus and the anisotropy of the water self-diffusion tensor clearly exhibit the occurrence of nematic ordering in dense aqueous dispersions. Multi-scale numerical models exploiting molecular orbital quantum calculations, Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulations, Molecular and Brownian Dynamics are used to interpret the measured water mobility and the ionic quadrupolar relaxation measurements. 

The equations of motion (75) can also be solved for polymers in good solvents. Averaging the Oseen tensor over the equilibrium segment distribution then gives = l/ n — m Y t 1 = p3v/rz and Dz kBT/r sNY are obtained for the relaxation times and the diffusion constant. The same relations as (80) and (82) follow as a function of the end-to-end distance with slightly altered numerical factors. In the same way, a solution of equations of motion (75), without any orientational averaging of the hydrodynamic field, merely leads to slightly modified numerical factors [35], In conclusion, Table 4 summarizes the essential assertions for the Zimm and Rouse model and compares them.

Bulk phase fluid structure was obtained by solution of the Percus-Yevick equation (W) which is highly accurate for the Lennard-Jones model and is not expected to introduce significant error. This allows the pressure tensors to return bulk phase pressures, computed from the virial route to the equation of state, at the center of a drop of sufficiently large size. Further numerical details are provided in reference 4. 

There are numerous reports on the chemical synthesis of models for the active site of galactose oxidase both in the reduced Cu(l) and the oxidized Cu(II) form. We mention only a selection in which EPR is at least used to characterize the complex either on the phenoxy radical or on the copper part, typically in conjunction with X-ray data.48,49 50 A review on structural, spectroscopic and redox aspects of galactose oxidase models is available.51 More important with respect to EPR is the report on the 3-tensor calculation of the thioether substituted tyrosyl radical by ab initio methods but this is borderline to the aspects treated in this review since the copper ion is not involved.52... 

As a first approximation, the stresses for the solid, ice and gel water can be formulated with the help of a linearized Hookean type law, where the depression of the gel water below the macroscopic freezing point of water must be considered. This can be done by including the micro-ice-lens model of Set-zer [1] in the constitutive relations for the aforementioned stress tensor. The gas phase can be described as an ideal gas. Concerning the constitutive assumptions for the liquid stresses, the heat flux and the interactions, the reader is referred to de Boer et al. [4], There a ternary model for the numerical simulation of freezing and thawing processes is discussed. 

Although numerous turbulence models are reported in the literature,1113 by far the most popular is the two-equation k-e model, first proposed by Jones and Launder.14 In this model, the turbulent stresses are recast in a form similar to the molecular stress tensor with mean velocity gradients, an assumption generally known as the Boussinesq hypothesis ... 

For HM computation, 3DEC consider a relation between the hydraulic aperture "a" and the mechanical aperture "u" that can be written a = ao + Au, where ao is the zero stress aperture. A maximum and residual aperture is considered for numerical stability reason. We have assumed that ama, = ao = 6.5 lO m and that a s = 1.8 lO m. Figure 6 represent the evolution of the diagonal terms of the equivalent permeability tensor with stress applied on the model boundaries (at 2 m scale). 

There are three important issues to consider in the numerical solution of the Redfield equation. The first is the evaluation of the Redfield tensor matrix elements I ,To obtain these matrix elements, it is necessary to have a representation of the system-bath coupling operator and of the bath Hamiltonian. Two fundamental types of models are used. First, the system-bath coupling can be described using stochastic fluctuation operators, without reference to a microscopic model. In this case, the correlation functions appearing in the formulas for parame-...
