Sizing procedure minimum distance

In the microfluid dynamics approaches the continuity and Navier-Stokes equation coupled with methodologies for tracking the disperse/continuous interface are used to describe the droplet formation in quiescent and crossflow continuous conditions. Ohta et al. [54] used a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach to analyze the single-droplet-formation process at an orifice under pressure pulse conditions (pulsed sieve-plate column). Abrahamse et al. [55] simulated the process of the droplet break-up in crossflow membrane emulsification using an equal computational fluid dynamics procedure. They calculated the minimum distance between two membrane pores as a function of crossflow velocity and pore size. This minimum distance is important to optimize the space between two pores on the membrane... 

Let us consider the calculation of sensitivity threshold in the case when the cracks are revealing by PT method. Constant distance H between crack s walls along the whole defect s depth is assumed for the simplicity. The calculation procedure depends on the dispersity of dry developer s powder [1]. Simple formula has to be used in the case when developer s effective radius of pores IC, which depends mainly on average particle s size, is smaller than crack s width H. One can use formula (1) when Re is small enough being less than the value corresponding maximum sensitivity (0,25 - 1 pm). For example. Re = 0,25 pm in the case when fine-dispersed magnesia oxide powder is used as the developer. In this case minimum crack s width H that can be detected at prescribed depth lo is calculated as... 

Prior to minimization, little information is available about the high-dimensional energy surface (3N- 6 dimensions with N atoms). In simple words, the program cannot see the landscape . Ideally, the minimization process should adapt to the shape of the surface and the distance from the minimum. Also, the type of energy minimization procedure used should depend on whether a specific local minimum, or any minimum, is sought. Most programs offer a choice of different optimization methods and the step size may often be chosen interactively. 

Thus, the essential philosophy of removing surfaces is to maintain continuity of the particle coordinates and momenta across boundaries. Although the particle coordinates can be in any image box, the size and shape of the central box are always taken into account in the computation of interparticle distances. Thus, in a molecular dynamics simulation, the density of the sample is determined only by the minimum imaging procedure.
