A two-dimensional particle simulation model of the sea-ice ridging process is developed. In this model, ridges are formed from a floating layer of disk-shaped rubble compressed between converging multi-year floes. The energy consumed in ridge growth, including dissipation, is explicitly calculated. The results of numerical experiments using this model indicate that the amount of energy required to ridge ice may be two to three times larger than previously thought.

A two-dimensional particle simulation model of the sea-ice ridging process is developed. In this model, ridges are formed from an intact layer of newly frozen lead ice colliding with a thick multi-year floe. Blocks broken from the leading edge of the lead ice collect above and beneath the multi-year floe to form the characteristic ridge structure seen in the central Arctic. The total energy consumed in ridging ice, which is converted into the potential energy of the ridge structure and dissipated by the frictional and inelastic contacts between blocks of ice, is calculated explicitly. The results of preliminary numerical experiments using this model indicate that the amount of energy required to ridge ice may be much larger than previous estimates.

AbstractA multidimensional model of filtration gas combustion is presented. The model is based on the system of conservation laws of ‘temperature – heat flow’, ‘mass–diffusive flow’ types with introducing the concept of total enthalpy flow. Results of numerical experiments are presented for the one- and two-dimensional problems for different conditions and parameters.

This paper applies method of continuous-time random walks for pedestrian flow simulation. In the model, pedestrians can walk forward or backward and turn left or right if there is no block. Velocities of pedestrian flow moving forward or diffusing are dominated by coefficients. The waiting time preceding each jump is assumed to follow an exponential distribution. To solve the model, a second-order two-dimensional partial differential equation, a high-order compact scheme with the alternating direction implicit method, is employed. In the numerical experiments, the walking domain of the first one is two-dimensional with two entrances and one exit, and that of the second one is two-dimensional with one entrance and one exit. The flows in both scenarios are one way. Numerical results show that the model can be used for pedestrian flow simulation.

A technique for determining the depth and opening of a surface two-dimensional defect in a ferromagnet is presented, that is resistant to input data errors. Defects and magnetic transducers are located on opposite sides of the metal plate. The nonlinear properties of the ferromagnet are taken into account. The components of the magnetic field in the metal were reconstructed from the measured components of the magnetic field above the defect-free surface of the metal. As a result of numerical experiments, the limits of applicability of the method were obtained. The results of the technique have been verified experimentally.

Preliminary estimates of the thermal signature of ventilation in polar firn are obtained from two-dimensional numerical calculations. The simulations show that spatially varying surface pressure can induce airflow velocities of 10−5m s−1at 1.5 m depth in uniform firn, and higher velocities closer to the surface. The two-dimensional heat-transfer results generally agree with our earlier one-dimensional conclusions that the thermal effects of ventilation tend to decrease the temperature gradient in the top portions of the pack. Field observations of ventilation through temperature measurements are most likely to be observed when the firn temperature at depths on the order of 10 m is close to the air temperature, since steep temperature gradients can mask the thermal effects of ventilation. Preliminary indications are that, as long as surface-pressure amplitude is sufficient to move the air about in the top tens of centimeters in the snow, the resulting temperature profile during ventilation is fairly insensitive to the frequency of the surface-pressure forcing for pressure frequencies in the range 0.1–10.0 Hz.

AbstractA Lagrangian surface hopping algorithm is implemented to study the two dimensional massless Dirac equation for Graphene with an electrostatic potential, in the semiclassical regime. In this problem, the crossing of the energy levels of the system at Dirac points requires a particular treatment in the algorithm in order to describe the quantum transition—characterized by the Landau-Zener probability— between different energy levels. We first derive the Landau-Zener probability for the underlying problem, then incorporate it into the surface hopping algorithm. We also show that different asymptotic models for this problem derived in [O. Morandi, F. Schurrer, J. Phys. A:Math. Theor. 44 (2011) 265301]may give different transition probabilities. We conduct numerical experiments to compare the solutions to the Dirac equation, the surface hopping algorithm, and the asymptotic models of [O. Morandi, F. Schurrer, J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 44 (2011) 265301].
