Multiscale Modeling From Atoms to Devices

Multiscale Modeling From Atoms to Devices

While the relevant features and properties of nanosystems necessarily depend on nanoscopic details their performance resides in the macroscopic world. To rationally develop and accurately predict performance of these systems we must tackle problems where multiple length and time scales are coupled. Rather than forcing a single modeling approach to predict an event it was not designed for a new paradigm must be employed: multiscale modeling. A brilliant solution to a pervasive problem Multiscale Modeling: From Atoms to Devices offers a number of approaches for which more than one scale is explicitly considered. It provides several alternatives from coarse-graining sampling of the atomic and mesoscale to Monte Carlo- and thermodynamic-based models that allow sampling of increasingly large scales up to multiscale models able to describe entire devices. Beginning with common techniques for coarse-graining the book discusses their theoretical background advantages and limitations. It examines the application-dependent parameterization characteristics of coarse-graining along with the finer-trains-coarser multiscale approach and describes three carefully selected examples in which the parameterization although based on the same principles depends on the actual application. The book considers the use of ab initio and density functional theory to obtain parameters needed for larger scale models the alternative use of density functional theory parameters in a Monte Carlo method and the use of ab initio and density functional theory as the atomistic technique underlying the calculation of thermodynamics properties of alloy phase stability. Highlighting one of the most challenging tasks for multiscale modelers Multiscale Modeling: From Atoms to Devices also presents modeling for nanocomposite materials using the embedded fiber finite element method (EFFEM). It emphasizes an ensemble Monte Carlo method to high field-charge transport problems and demonstrates the practical application of modern many-body quantum theories.

Low Head Hydropower for Local Energy Solutions

Low Head Hydropower for Local Energy Solutions

The role of small hydropower is becoming increasingly important on a global level. Increasing energy demand and environmental awareness has further triggered research and development into sustainable low-cost technologies. In developing countries particularly in rural areas the possibility of local power generation could considerably improve living conditions. With this in mind the development of a next generation low-head hydropower machines was subject of investigation in the EU-project HYLOW. Being part of the research lines of that project this thesis presents a numerical modelling approach to improve the design of machines like water wheels for increased hydraulic efficiency. Nowadays Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) enables numerical models to be quite accurate and incorporate physical complexities like free surfaces and rotating machines. The results of the CFD simulations carried out in this research show that a change in blade geometry can result in higher torque levels thereby increasing performance. Numerical simulations also enabled to determine the optimal wheel-width to channel-width ratio and further improve performance by modifying the channel bed conditions upstream and downstream of the water wheel. With a power rating in the low kilowatt range low-head hydropower machines like optimised water wheels seem to have a clear potential for small-scale energy generation thereby contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by providing local energy solutions. | Low Head Hydropower for Local Energy Solutions

Skyrmions Topological Structures Properties and Applications

Skyrmions Topological Structures Properties and Applications

The book reviews all the aspects of recent developments in research on skyrmions from the presentation of the observation and characterization techniques to the description of physical properties and expected applications. It will be of great use for all scientists working in this field. – Albert Fert 2007 Nobel Laureate in Physics (from the Foreword) A skyrmion is a tiny region of reversed magnetization – quasiparticles since they are not present except in a magnetic state and also give rise to physics that cannot be described by Maxwell’s equations. These particles are fascinating subjects for theoretical and experimental studies. Moreover as a new type of magnetic domain structure with special topological structures skyrmions feature outstanding magnetic and transport properties and may well have applications in data storage and other advanced spintronic devices as readers will see in this book. Chapters address the relationships between physical properties of condensed matter such as the AB effect Berry phase effect quantum Hall effect and topological insulators. Overall it provides a timely introduction to the fundamental aspects and possible applications of magnetic skyrmions to an interdisciplinary audience from condensed matter physics chemistry and materials science. | Skyrmions Topological Structures Properties and Applications

Tracing the development of autonomous and automated shipping from a hype of unmanned ships to a more realistic use of automation to augment humans in maritime operations this book shows why human factors and human-centred design are essential to the endeavour. Themes addressed in the book include technology and cybersecurity regulation and classification and competence and skills. It combines commentary and insight from experts across the industry as well as academia and describes a roller-coaster ride from conceptual idea via a period of hype where technologists and engineers enthusiastically advocated a rapid development as many others in the maritime industry felt compelled but struggled to follow and finally to a more measured view as cumulative experience started to show the limitations risks and the lack of a generic business case. This book is intended for anyone working in researching in or simply interested in shipping and the maritime domain and the evolution of autonomous shipping.

Advanced Rail Geotechnology – Ballasted Track

Advanced Rail Geotechnology – Ballasted Track

Ballast plays a vital role in transmitting and distributing the train wheel loads to the underlying track substructure. The load-bearing capacity safe train speed and the levels of noise and vibration as well as passenger comfort depend on the behaviour of ballast through particle interlocking and the corresponding deformation of this granular assembly. Attrition and breakage of ballast occur progressively under heavy and continual cyclic loading causing track deterioration and rail misalignment affecting safety while exacerbating the intensity of track maintenance. In the absence of realistic computational models the track substructure is traditionally designed using mostly empirical approaches. In this book the authors present the detailed information on the strength deformation and degradation aspects of fresh and recycled ballast under monotonic cyclic and impact loading using innovative geotechnical testing devices. A constitutive model for ballast incorporating particle breakage is presented representing a more realistic stress–strain response. The mathematical formulations and numerical models are validated using controlled experimental simulations and fully instrumented field trials. Revised ballast gradation is described to provide greater track resiliency and extended longevity. The book also provides a detailed description of geosynthetics for substructure improvement considering track deterioration caused by particle degradation fouling and impeded drainage. New to this second edition are extensive discussions on subgrade soil stabilisation causes and mechanisms of soil fluidisation (mud pumping) under cyclic loading and preventive and remedial measures to alleviate undue instability of ballast tracks. This book should prove most beneficial for final-year civil engineering students and for postgraduate teaching and learning. It is an ideal supplement for practising railway engineers and researchers engaged in the challenging tasks of future track design for heavier and faster trains. | Advanced Rail Geotechnology – Ballasted Track
