Physical derived

This then provides a physical derivation of the finite-difference technique and shows how the solution to the differential equations can be propagated forward in time from a knowledge of the concentration profile at a series of mesh points. Algebraic derivations of the finite-difference equations can be found in most textbooks on numerical analysis. There are a variety of finite-difference approximations ranging from the fully explicit method (illustrated above) via Crank-Nicolson and other weighted implicit forward. schemes to the fully implicit backward method, which can be u.sed to solve the equations. The methods tend to increase in stability and accuracy in the order given. The difference scheme for the cylindrical geometry appropriate for a root is... 

The application of microdosimetry to medical physics derives from biological models of radiation action (primarily, the Theory of Dual Radiation Action [14]) that explicitly utilize for their predictions a microdosimetric description of the radiation field. Specifically, they concern the following two problems ... 

We begin with a simple, physical derivation of the Boltzmann equation, which is the starting point in obtaining the rigorous transport properties. Following this discussion, the theory of Chapman and Enskog [60,114] is presented. 

Molecules throughout a gas have a distribution of velocities and density depending on the temperature, external forces, concentration gradients, chemical reactions, and so on. The properties of a dilute gas are known completely if the velocity distribution function /(r, p, 1) can be found. The Boltzmann equation [38], is an integro-differential equation describing the time evolution of /. The physical derivation of the Boltzmann equation is easy to state, and is presented next. However, its solution is extremely difficult, and relies on varying degrees of approximation. 

This is an identity for all stationary Markov processes and may therefore be applied to physical systems in equilibrium without any additional derivation from the equations of motion. It should not, however, be confused with detailed balance, which differs from it by having + t in the right-hand member. Detailed balance is a physical property, which does not follow from the mere definition of Tt but requires a physical derivation, see V.6. In order to avoid erroneous use of the equations (3.2) and (3.3) we now stipulate that in the future the symbol Tt shall not be used for negative t. 

There are a large number of reasons to discount the simple photon-stereomeric approach, that is endothermic, in favor of considering available modem choices based on quantum-mechanics. The field of photographic dyes provides a well-understood alternative based on resonant conjugated carbon chemistry. This approach is energy neutral (marginally exothermic). When combined with the solid state physics derived from the transistor, it offers an alternate hypothesis that is confirmable in the laboratory. 

The rigorous approach to a kinetic-theory derivation of the fluid-dynamical conservation equations, which begins with the Liouville equation and involves a number of subtle assumptions, will be omitted here because of its complexity. The same result will be obtained in a simpler manner from a physical derivation of the Boltzmann equation, followed by the identification of the hydrodynamic variables and the development of the equations of change. For additional details the reader may consult [1] and [2]. 

A potential advantage of the physical approach to boundary-layer theory is that it forces an emphasis on the underlying physical description of the flow. However, unlike the asymptotic approach presented here, the physically derived theory provides no obvious means to improve the solution beyond the first level of approximation. Provided that the physical picture underlying the analysis is properly emphasized, the asymptotic approach can incorporate the principal positive aspect of the earlier theories within a rational framework for systematic improvement of the approximation scheme. 

The use offictitious points as a means of locally modifying the differential stencils near laborious media interfaces in finite-difference simulations has been initially developed in [17, 18] and extended in [21, 28]. The specific method, which matches the problematic boundaries with physical derivative conditions, enhances the flexibility of higher order FDTD schemes and facilitates the discretization of difficult geometries.

Equation (16) constitutes a physically derived expression for the binary diffusion coefficients This equation may be written in a more useful form by expressing the number of i-j collisions per unit volume per second (Vj ) in terms of more basic molecular parameters. Since there are Uj molecules of type i per unit volume, v j =, where t,j is the average...

Calculus itself is not an industry, but it forms the foundation of other industries. In this role, it continues to power research and development in diverse fields, including those that depend on physics. Physics derives its results by way of calculus techniques. These results in turn enable developments in small- and... 

In practice, many coalescence kernels are determined empirically and based on laboratory or plant data specific to the granulation process and the product. More recent, physically derived kernels (Litster and Ennis, 2004) have been tested in laboratories and over time are expected to slowly replace empirically derived kernels in industrial models. 

In comparison with the empirical potentials and the electronic structure methods mentioned above, such purely mathematical fitting procedures are still much less commonly used. Nevertheless, a lot of methodical work is going on to improve the accuracy and to extend the applicability of potential-energy surfaces without a physically derived (and constrained) functional form. The advantage of this type of potentials is that no approximations have to be introduced which could limit the accuracy. On the other hand, a lot of effort has to be made to ensure that all physical features of a PES are correctly included.
