Load balancing strategies for hybrid solvers that involve grid based partial differential equation solution coupled with particle tracking are presented in this paper. A typical Message Passing Interface (MPI) based parallelization of grid based solves are done using a spatial domain decomposition while particle tracking is primarily done using either of the two techniques. One of the techniques is...
Pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass, by which the accessibility of cellulose to enzymes is enhanced, is an important step in the biochemical conversion of biomass feedstocks to biofuels. A mathematical model that considers both spatial and temporal phenomena in a biomass particle has the potential to accurately predict carbohydrate conversion and macroscopic structural changes during pretreatment...
The recently designed Microplasma thruster1 employs the use of direct-current (DC) microdischarge to cause heating of argon gas during the expansion process through a nozzle. This helps in enhancing the cold gas thrust. However, one of the deficiencies of direct-current microdischarges is the need for exposed electrodes that incur ion bombardment with large thermal fluxes and consequently subject...
