Nuclear fusion has the potential to provide the world's energy needs with safe, sustainable and virtually limitless energy. A key challenge in the realization of magnetically confined nuclear fusion is the power exhaust in the so-called divertor region near the reactor walls, which has to withstand enormous power loads. To predict and analyze divertor performance, accurate plasma edge simulations are indispensable. State-of-the-art plasma edge ...

Heat and mass transfer modelling in building facades with ventilated cavities requires information on the cavity air change rates, which can be a complex function of the building and cavity geometry and the meteorological conditions. This paper applies Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) CFD to study wind-induced airflow in the narrow (23 mm) ventilated facade cavities of an isolated low-rise building. Both coupled and decoupled simulations ...

Computer graphics is a vast domain within computer sciences which encompasses simulation and visualization of physical effects like the behaviour of fluids, gasses and object interactions such as collisions and deformations. Such simulations are often defined by the underlying laws and equations of physics which leave little control over the outcome of these simulations. The focus of this dissertation is twofold: first of all the high-fidelity ...

© 2015 IEEE. This work present the last development of a statistical reliability aware simulation flow from transistors to circuits. A TCAD calibration methodology based on statistical measurement of a 60nm bulk MOSFET is presented. Statistical compact models of fresh and aged transistors are extracted form large ensembles of TCAD simulations results. Compact models representing intermediate stages of degradation, not captured in the TCAD ...

Modelleer- en animatiesoftware is de laatste jaren steeds uitgebreider g eworden en biedt nu de beste algoritmes om onze echte wereld na te boots en. Eén klasse van deze algoritmes zijn de fysisch gebaseerde methodes w aarmee echte fenomenen gesimuleerd kunnen worden. Deze thesis behandelt zulke algoritmen voor de simulatie van vloeistoffe n en de dynamiek van voorwerpen. We concentreren ons specifiek op de ond erlinge interacties tussen ...
