The low temperature properties of double exchange model in triangular
lattice are investigated via truncated polynomial expansion method (TPEM), which
reduces the computational complexity and enables parallel computation. We found
that for the half-filling case a stable 120◦spin configuration phase occurs owing to the
frustration of triangular lattice and is further stabilized by antiferromagnetic (AF) superexchange
interaction, while a transition between a stable ferromagnetic (FM) phase
and a unique flux phase with small finite-size effect is induced by AF superexchange
interaction for the quarter-filling case. 相似文献

Applicability of Feynman path integral approach to numerical simulations
of quantum dynamics of an electron in real time domain is examined. Coherent quantum
dynamics is demonstrated with one dimensional test cases (quantum dot models)
and performance of the Trotter kernel as compared with the exact kernels is tested.
Also, a novel approach for finding the ground state and other stationary sates is presented.
This is based on the incoherent propagation in real time. For both approaches
the Monte Carlo grid and sampling are tested and compared with regular grids and
sampling. We asses the numerical prerequisites for all of the above. 相似文献

Traditional two level upscaling techniques suffer from a high offline cost
when the coarse grid size is much larger than the fine grid size one. Thus, multilevel
methods are desirable for problems with complex heterogeneities and high contrast. In
this paper, we propose a novel three-level upscaling method for flow problems in fractured porous media. Our method starts with a fine grid discretization for the system
involving fractured porous media. In the next step, based on the fine grid model, we
construct a nonlocal multi-continua upscaling (NLMC) method using an intermediate
grid. The system resulting from NLMC gives solutions that have physical meaning. In
order to enhance locality, the grid size of the intermediate grid needs to be relatively
small, and this motivates using such an intermediate grid. However, the resulting
NLMC upscaled system has a relatively large dimension. This motivates a further step
of dimension reduction. In particular, we will apply the idea of the Generalized Multiscale Finite Element Method (GMsFEM) to the NLMC system to obtain a final reduced
model. We present simulation results for a two-dimensional model problem with a
large number of fractures using the proposed three-level method. 相似文献

In this paper, we introduce a high-order accurate constrained transport
type finite volume method to solve ideal magnetohydrodynamic equations on two-dimensional
triangular meshes. A new divergence-free WENO-based reconstruction
method is developed to maintain exactly divergence-free evolution of the numerical
magnetic field. In this formulation, the normal component of the magnetic field at each
face of a triangle is reconstructed uniquely and with the desired order of accuracy. Additionally,
a new weighted flux interpolation approach is also developed to compute
the z-component of the electric field at vertices of grid cells. We also present numerical
examples to demonstrate the accuracy and robustness of the proposed scheme. 相似文献

We present a wavelet-based adaptive method for computing 3D multiscale
flows in complex, time-dependent geometries, implemented on massively parallel computers. While our focus is on simulations of flapping insects, it can be used for other
flow problems. We model the incompressible fluid with an artificial compressibility
approach in order to avoid solving elliptical problems. No-slip and in/outflow boundary conditions are imposed using volume penalization. The governing equations are
discretized on a locally uniform Cartesian grid with centered finite differences, and
integrated in time with a Runge–Kutta scheme, both of 4th order. The domain is
partitioned into cubic blocks with different resolution and, for each block, biorthogonal interpolating wavelets are used as refinement indicators and prediction operators. Thresholding the wavelet coefficients allows to generate dynamically evolving
grids, and an adaption strategy tracks the solution in both space and scale. Blocks are
distributed among MPI processes and the grid topology is encoded using a tree-like
data structure. Analyzing the different physical and numerical parameters allows us
to balance their errors and thus ensures optimal convergence while minimizing computational effort. Different validation tests score accuracy and performance of our new
open source code, WABBIT. Flow simulations of flapping insects demonstrate its applicability to complex, bio-inspired problems. 相似文献

The shapes of vesicles formed by lipid bilayers with phase separation are
governed by a bending energy with phase dependent material parameters together
with a line energy associated with the phase interfaces. We present a numerical method
to approximate solutions to the Euler-Lagrange equations featuring triangulated surfaces, isoparametric quadratic surface finite elements and the phase field approach for
the phase separation. Furthermore, the method involves an iterative solution scheme
that is based on a relaxation dynamics coupling a geometric evolution equation for the
membrane surface with a surface Allen-Cahn equation. Remeshing and grid adaptivity are discussed, and in various simulations the influence of several physical parameters is investigated. 相似文献

This paper is devoted to a multi-mesh-scale approach for describing the dynamic behaviors of thin geophysical mass flows on complex topographies. Because the
topographic surfaces are generally non-trivially curved, we introduce an appropriate
local coordinate system for describing the flow behaviors in an efficient way. The complex surfaces are supposed to be composed of a finite number of triangle elements. Due
to the unequal orientation of the triangular elements, the distinct flux directions add
to the complexity of solving the Riemann problems at the boundaries of the triangular
elements. Hence, a vertex-centered cell system is introduced for computing the evolution of the physical quantities, where the cell boundaries lie within the triangles and
the conventional Riemann solvers can be applied. Consequently, there are two mesh
scales: the element scale for the local topographic mapping and the vertex-centered
cell scale for the evolution of the physical quantities. The final scheme is completed by
employing the HLL-approach for computing the numerical flux at the interfaces. Three
numerical examples and one application to a large-scale landslide are conducted to examine the performance of the proposed approach as well as to illustrate its capability
in describing the shallow flows on complex topographies. 相似文献

Recently operative cholangiography has become an essential step in biliary surgery. However, an usual technique in which x-ray film is set beneath the patient has its limitation in visualization of fine changes. The author devised a new technique to resolve this problem. A triangular mammography film designed for good positioning is vaccum-packed, coupled with an intensifying screen of the same size, and then is sterilized in advance. Barium solution mixed with Gascon drop (a defoaming agent) is used as contrast material. The duodenum and head of the pancreas are mobilized. Usual cholangiography is performed at first, introducing angiographic media through a catheter placed into the catheter placed into the common duct via the cystic duct. After this study a triangle film pack is set beneath the second part of the duodenum. Two to three milliliters of barium, 1 to 2 ml of Gascon, and 15 ml of air are pushed in; thus a contact double-contrast cholangiogram is obtained. This technique promises clear demonstration of the distal bile duct without risk, and even fine mucosal plicae may be discernible in the film. 相似文献

In this paper, we investigate the performance of the exponential time differencing (ETD) method applied to the rotating shallow water equations. Comparing
with explicit time stepping of the same order accuracy in time, the ETD algorithms
could reduce the computational time in many cases by allowing the use of large time
step sizes while still maintaining numerical stability. To accelerate the ETD simulations, we propose a localized approach that synthesizes the ETD method and overlapping domain decomposition. By dividing the original problem into many subdomain
problems of smaller sizes and solving them locally, the proposed approach could speed
up the calculation of matrix exponential vector products. Several standard test cases
for shallow water equations of one or multiple layers are considered. The results show
great potential of the localized ETD method for high-performance computing because
each subdomain problem can be naturally solved in parallel at every time step. 相似文献

Microsurgical Anatomy of the Cavernous Sinus: Measurements of the Triangles in and around It. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Objectives: Since the pioneering work of Parkinson, several studies have described the microsurgical anatomy and surgical procedures involving the cavernous sinus (CS). A proposed geometric construct has been adopted as nomenclature for the region by many neurosurgeons. However, authors differ in naming and describing some of these triangular spaces. The purpose of this study is to present the anatomy and measure the dimensions of the 10 triangles in and around this region. Materials and Methods: Eighteen CS of five cadaveric heads and four skull bases fixed in formalin were dissected using 3 x to 40 x magnification of the surgical microscope. The heads and skull bases were injected with colored silicone and the sides and area of the triangles were measured. Each cadaveric head was placed in a Sugita head-holder and a cranio-orbitozygomatic approach and a combined extra- and intradural approach were performed. The last step was the detachment of the brain from the skull base and measurement of the inferolateral paraclival and inferomedial paraclival triangles. Results: The measurements of the medial border, lateral border, and base of each triangle as well as the standard deviation and area are presented. The posteromedial middle fossa triangle was the largest and the clinoidal triangle the smallest. Conclusions: The normal anatomy of the CS triangle and its areas are important in the approach of the CS lesions because these spaces are natural corridors through which the lesions can be reached. The same concept must be used for the triangles around this space. Whenever these geometric spaces might be distorted by pathology or surgical maneuvers, the surgeon must have precise knowledge about their normal sizes. 相似文献

In this paper, we present the Multiscale Finite Element Method (MsFEM)
for problems on rough heterogeneous surfaces. We consider the diffusion equation on
oscillatory surfaces. Our objective is to represent small-scale features of the solution
via multiscale basis functions described on a coarse grid. This problem arises in many
applications where processes occur on surfaces or thin layers. We present a unified
multiscale finite element framework that entails the use of transformations that map
the reference surface to the deformed surface. The main ingredients of MsFEM are (1)
the construction of multiscale basis functions and (2) a global coupling of these basis
functions. For the construction of multiscale basis functions, our approach uses the
transformation of the reference surface to a deformed surface. On the deformed surface, multiscale basis functions are defined where reduced (1D) problems are solved
along the edges of coarse-grid blocks to calculate nodal multiscale basis functions. Furthermore, these basis functions are transformed back to the reference configuration.
We discuss the use of appropriate transformation operators that improve the accuracy
of the method. The method has an optimal convergence if the transformed surface
is smooth and the image of the coarse partition in the reference configuration forms
a quasiuniform partition. In this paper, we consider such transformations based on
harmonic coordinates (following H. Owhadi and L. Zhang [Comm. Pure and Applied
Math., LX(2007), pp. 675–723]) and discuss gridding issues in the reference configuration. Numerical results are presented where we compare the MsFEM when two
types of deformations are used for multiscale basis construction. The first deformation
employs local information and the second deformation employs a global information.
Our numerical results show that one can improve the accuracy of the simulations when
a global information is used. 相似文献

Radiographic anatomic structure of the arthritic acetabulum and its influence on total hip arthroplasty 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Acetabular bone structure is not the same in all patients and can be defined by the radiolucent triangle superior to the acetabulum. Of 132 hips, 81 had an isosceles triangular shape, which was named type A acetabulum. Forty-six hips had an extension of the triangle into the teardrop, which created a thickened medial wall and was named type B. Five hips had a right-angle triangle, which was found only with congenital disease of the hip and was named type C. The density of the superior acetabular bone in the triangle could be normally radiolucent (stage I), have vertical and transverse trabeculae throughout the triangle (stage II), or have the triangle filled with bone and cysts (stage III). The relationship between progressive radiolucent lines and acetabular type showed that type A3 (thin medial wall with dense triangle bone) had the highest incidence of progressive radiolucent lines (P < .05). 相似文献

The paper focuses on developing and studying efficient block preconditioners based on classical algebraic multigrid (AMG) for the large-scale sparse linear
systems arising from the fully coupled and implicitly cell-centered finite volume discretization of multi-group radiation diffusion equations, whose coefficient matrices
can be rearranged into the $(G+2)×(G+2)$ block form, where $G$ is the number of energy
groups. The preconditioning techniques are the monolithic classical AMG method,
physical-variable based coarsening two-level algorithm and two types of block Schur
complement preconditioners. The classical AMG method is applied to solve the subsystems which originate in the last three block preconditioners. The coupling strength
and diagonal dominance are further explored to improve performance. We take advantage of representative one- and twenty-group linear systems from capsule implosion simulations to test the robustness, efficiency, strong and weak parallel scaling
properties of the proposed methods. Numerical results demonstrate that block preconditioners lead to mesh- and problem-independent convergence, outperform the
frequently-used AMG preconditioner and scale well both algorithmically and in parallel. 相似文献

Electric Vehicles (EVs) are gradually replacing conventional vehicles as they are environmentally friendly and cause less pollution problems. Unregulated charging has severe impacts on the distribution grid and may incur EV owners higher charging costs. Therefore, controlled charging infrastructures to supply the charging needs of large numbers of EVs are of vital importance. In this article, an optimal control scenario is presented to formulate the charge scheduling problem of EVs in a solar charging station (CS). Two different objective functions are considered. The first objective function holds for minimizing the total charging cost of EVs. In this case, the benefits of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) are investigated by comparing the charging costs of EVs with and without this capability. The total EV charging costs and grid benefits are also investigated in the second objective function which holds for minimizing the extracted power from the grid. A modified version of Dynamic Programming is used to solve the large state-space model defined for the optimal control problem with extremely shorter computation time and minimal loss of optimality. Extensive simulations are done in two representative summer and winter climates to determine the role of solar energy in the CS performance. The results show that in the cost minimization algorithms, significant savings for EV owners and a smooth load shape for the grid are achieved. For the minimized power from the grid algorithm, a total near Photovoltaic (PV)-curve charging power is obtained to exploit the PV power as much as possible to minimize the impacts on the grid. 相似文献

Mesh generation is a bottleneck for finite element simulations of
biomolecules. A robust and efficient approach, based on the immersed boundary
method proposed in [8], has been developed and implemented to generate large-scale
mesh body-fitted to molecular shape for general parallel finite element simulations.
The molecular Gaussian surface is adopted to represent the molecular surface, and
is finally approximated by piecewise planes via the tool phgSurfaceCut in PHG [43],
which is improved and can reliably handle complicated molecular surfaces, through
mesh refinement steps. A coarse background mesh is imported first and then is distributed
into each process using a mesh partitioning algorithm such as space filling
curve [5] or METIS [22]. A bisection method is used for the mesh refinements according
to the molecular PDB or PQR file which describes the biomolecular region. After
mesh refinements, the mesh is optionally repartitioned and redistributed for load balancing.
For finite element simulations, the modification of region mark and boundary
types is done in parallel. Our parallel mesh generation method has been successfully
applied to a sphere cavity model, a DNA fragment, a gramicidin A channel and a huge
Dengue virus system. The results of numerical experiments show good parallel efficiency. Computations of electrostatic potential and solvation energy also validate the
method. Moreover, the meshing process and adaptive finite element computation can
be integrated as one PHG project to avoid the mesh importing and exporting costs,
and improve the convenience of application as well. 相似文献

Analysis of 109 Japanese children's lip and nose shapes using 3-dimensional digitizer. 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

We assessed lip and nose shapes, which played an important role in performance evaluations, before and after cleft lip and nose surgery. We used a noncontact-type semiconductor laser 3-dimensional measurement system on normal Japanese children to obtain 3-dimensional images of noses and lips, which were accurate enough to measure facial shapes. We could rotate these images on the computer, therefore we measured the following points: the distance between the peaks of the Cupid's bow and the width of the labial fissure (frontal view), and the width of the nose and the nasal tip protrusion (basal view). Lip and nose shapes were evaluated for each gender. Additionally, nasolabial angles (NLA) were measured on the lateral views of faces. We classified the morphology of the philtral columns into four types; (1) triangular type, (2) parallel type, (3) concave type, and (4) flat type. We also classified nostril shapes into four types: (1) teardrop type, (2) heart shaped type, (3) round type, and (4) triangular type. We calculated the average of the 3-dimensional coordinate values for each landmark, and created standard facial models of normal Japanese children. Moreover, we invented a new morphological evaluation method before and after cleft lip and nose surgery, using the 3-dimensional data converting and editing software. The method was more feasible to evaluate the assessment cleft lip and nose surgery, by quantifying the surface areas of right and left nostrils and the surface areas of upper and lower vermilions, even now by measuring with the eyes and comparing them. 相似文献

A triangular configuration with three parallel cannulated screws is an established treatment for fixing transverse patellar fractures; however, the stability achieved with this approach is slightly lower than that attained with cannulated screws combined with anterior wiring. In the present study, triangular configurations were modified by partially or totally replacing the cannulated screws with headless compression screws (HCSs). Through finite element simulation involving a model of distal femoral, patellar, and proximal tibial fractures, the mechanical stability levels of the modified triangular configurations were compared with that of two cannulated screws combined with anterior wiring. Four triangular screw configurations were developed: three HCSs in a forward and backward triangular configuration, two deep cannulated screws along with one superficial HCS, and two superficial cannulated screws with one deep HCS. Also considered were two parallel cannulated screws (inserted superficially or deeply) combined with anterior wiring. The six approaches were all examined in full knee extension and 45° flexion under physiological loading. The highest stability was obtained with the three HCSs in a backward triangular configuration, as indicated by the least fragment displacement and the smallest fracture gap size. In extension and flexion, this size was smaller than that observed under the use of two deeply placed parallel cannulated screws with anterior wiring by 50.3% (1.53 vs. 0.76 mm) and 43.2% (1.48 vs. 0.84 mm), respectively. Thus, the use of three HCSs in a backward triangular configuration is recommended for the fixation of transverse patellar fractures, especially without the use of anterior wiring. 相似文献

Floor field methods are one of the most popular medium-scale navigation
concepts in microscopic pedestrian simulators. Recently introduced dynamic floor
field methods have significantly increased the realism of such simulations, i.e. agreement of spatio-temporal patterns of pedestrian densities in simulations with real world
observations. These methods update floor fields continuously taking other pedestrians into account. This implies that computational times are mainly determined by the
calculation of floor fields. In this work, we propose a new computational approach for
the construction of dynamic floor fields. The approach is based on the one hand on
adaptive grid concepts and on the other hand on a directed calculation of floor fields,
i.e. the calculation is restricted to the domain of interest. Combining both techniques
the computational complexity can be reduced by a factor of 10 as demonstrated by several realistic scenarios. Thus on-line simulations, a requirement of many applications,
are possible for moderate realistic scenarios. 相似文献

Random batch algorithms are constructed for quantum Monte Carlo simulations. The main objective is to alleviate the computational cost associated with the
calculations of two-body interactions, including the pairwise interactions in the potential energy, and the two-body terms in the Jastrow factor. In the framework of variational Monte Carlo methods, the random batch algorithm is constructed based on the
over-damped Langevin dynamics, so that updating the position of each particle in an $N$-particle system only requires$\mathcal{O}(1)$ operations, thus for each time step the computational cost for $N$ particles is reduced from$\mathcal{O}(N^2)$ to$\mathcal{O}(N)$. For diffusion Monte Carlo
methods, the random batch algorithm uses an energy decomposition to avoid the computation of the total energy in the branching step. The effectiveness of the random
batch method is demonstrated using a system of liquid $^4$He atoms interacting with a
graphite surface. 相似文献
