20100088081 | Computer Simulation of Physical Processes - Simulating a physical process includes storing, in a computer-accessible memory, state vectors for voxels, where the state vectors correspond to a model and include entries that correspond to particular momentum states of possible momentum states at a voxel. Interaction operations are performed on the state vectors. The interaction operations model interactions between elements of different momentum states according to the model. Move operations performed on the state vectors reflect movement of elements to new voxels according to the model. The model is adapted to simulate a high-Knudsen number flow that has a Knudsen number greater than 0.1. | 04-08-2010 |

20130116997 | COMPUTER SIMULATION OF PHYSICAL PROCESSES - A computer-implemented method for simulating flow and acoustic interaction of a fluid with a porous medium includes simulating activity of a fluid in a first volume adjoining a second volume occupied by a porous medium, the activity of the fluid in the first volume being simulated so as to model movement of elements within the first volume and using a first model having a first set of parameters, simulating activity of the fluid in the second volume occupied by the porous medium, the activity in the second volume being simulated so as to model movement of elements within the second volume and using a second model having a second set of parameters and differing from the first model in a way that accounts for flow and acoustic properties of the porous medium, and simulating movement of elements between the first volume and the second volume at an interface between the first volume and the second volume. | 05-09-2013 |
20130151221 | COMPUTER SIMULATION OF PHYSICAL PROCESSES - A computer-implemented method for simulating fluid flow using a lattice Boltzmann (LB) approach and for solving scalar transport equations is described herein. In addition to the lattice Boltzmann functions for fluid flow, a second set of distribution functions is introduced for transport scalars. | 06-13-2013 |
20130317794 | Cascaded Eddy Simulation - A fluid flow is simulated by causing a computer to perform operations on data stored in the memory to compute at least one eddy of a fluid flow at a first scale and perform operations to compute at least one eddy of the fluid flow at both the first scale and a second scale. The second scale is a finer scale than the first scale, and the computation of the at least one eddy of the fluid flow at the second scale is constrained by results of the computation of the at least one eddy of the fluid flow at the first scale. | 11-28-2013 |
20140136159 | COMPUTER SIMULATION OF PHYSICAL PROCESSES INCLUDING MODELING OF LAMINAR-TO-TURBULENT TRANSITION - A computer-implemented method for simulating fluid flow using a lattice Boltzmann (LB) approach that includes assigning values for the wall shear stress on a per-facet (e.g., per-surfel) basis based on whether the fluid flow is laminar or turbulent is described herein. | 05-15-2014 |
20140343858 | MASS EXCHANGE MODEL FOR RELATIVE PERMEABILITY SIMULATION - This description relates to computer simulation of physical processes, such as computer simulation of multi-species flow through porous media including the determination/estimation of relative permeabilities for the multi-species flow through the porous media. | 11-20-2014 |
