Effects of groundwater flow on the stability of an underground rock cavern by Natarajan Saravanan

“…In the present study, a stability of an underground cavern due to ground water flow was studied numerically using the distinct element method. The study incorporated the effects of joint geometry and their degree of interconnectivity, fault zones under static and fluctuating groundwater tables.…”

Small spherical and projective codes by Cohn, Henry

“…This data set describes the best spherical and real projective codes that are known to exist (to the best of my knowledge), for up to 32 points on spheres or 16 lines through the origin in the real projective case. It includes numerical approximations and in many cases exact constructions.…”

Exciton dispersions in two-dimensional materials by Li, Yifei

“…This thesis is dedicated to the calculation of a numerically solvable form of the Hamiltonian excitons in 2D materials. 2D materials are quite new, having only been fully realised only about 20 years ago[2][4].Theoretical predictions had been made about the existence of these materials for many years, with experiments going back to the 1960s[1]. …”

Randomness and early termination: what makes a game exciting? by Guo, G, Howison, S, Possamai, D, Reisinger, C

“…Moreover, we construct convergent numerical approximations. The analytical and numerical results allow us to characterise the max-entropy win-probability martingale and to highlight the behaviour of this process in the present case where the match may end early, in contrast to recent work by Backhoff-Veraguas and Beiglböck where the match always runs the full length.…”

Co-simulation approach for computational aero-acoustic modeling: investigating wind-induced noise within two-way radio microphone ports cavity by Hairudin, Wan Masrurah, Mat, Mohamed Nur Hidayat, Ooi, Lu Ean, Ismail, Norilmi Amilia

“…Richardson extrapolation and Grid Convergence Index (GCI) are applied to evaluate the accuracy of the grid independency in numerical simulations. The findings reveal that the leading edge, centre and trailing edge are the primary noise sources and generations inside a microphone port. …”
