Algorithms for supercomputer modeling of the radiation electromagnetic field in heterogeneous materials of a complex finely-dispersed structure are constructed. A geometric model of a heterogeneous medium is created using Stilinger-Lubachevsky algorithms for multimodal structures. The model includes a system of detectors for statistical evaluation of functionals on the space of solutions of the photon-electron cascade transport equations. Algorithms for the three-dimensional approximation of the results of modeling the radiation transport in a fine-dispersed medium to an electrodynamic difference grid are developed. The approximation methods based on the technology of neural networks. The method of numerical solution of the complete system of Maxwell's equations for calculating the electromagnetic field in a fine-dispersed medium is worked out. The results of demonstration calculations of the electromagnetic field are presented. The results of the calculations show that the spatial distribution of the radiation electromagnetic field has a sharply inhomogeneous structure caused by the presence of boundaries of materials with different radiation properties.

An experimental and computational study is performed of the wake flow behind a single yawed cylinder and a pair of parallel yawed cylinders placed in tandem. The experiments are performed for a yawed cylinder and a pair of yawed cylinders towed in a tank. Laser-induced fluorescence is used for flow visualization and particle-image velocimetry is used for quantitative velocity and vorticity measurement. Computations are performed using a second-order accurate block-structured finite-volume method with periodic boundary conditions along the cylinder axis. Results are applied to assess the applicability of a quasi-two-dimensional approximation, which assumes that the flow field is the same for any slice of the flow over the cylinder cross section. For a single cylinder, it is found that the cylinder wake vortices approach a quasi-two-dimensional state away from the cylinder upstream end for all cases examined (in which the cylinder yaw angle covers the range 0⩽ϕ⩽60°). Within the upstream region, the vortex orientation is found to be influenced by the tank side-wall boundary condition relative to the cylinder. For the case of two parallel yawed cylinders, vortices shed from the upstream cylinder are found to remain nearly quasi-two-dimensional as they are advected back and reach within about a cylinder diameter from the face of the downstream cylinder. As the vortices advect closer to the cylinder, the vortex cores become highly deformed and wrap around the downstream cylinder face. Three-dimensional perturbations of the upstream vortices are amplified as the vortices impact upon the downstream cylinder, such that during the final stages of vortex impact the quasi-two-dimensional nature of the flow breaks down and the vorticity field for the impacting vortices acquire significant three-dimensional perturbations. Quasi-two-dimensional and fully three-dimensional computational results are compared to assess the accuracy of the quasi-two-dimensional approximation in prediction of drag and lift coefficients of the cylinders.

Inlay yarn and laid-in structures are important technical knitting elements that have been increasingly applied in the structural design of functional textiles in industrial, medical, and wearable electronics fields. However, there is no currently established geometric model to numerically analyze their spatial morphologies and structural properties. This study presents a new geometric model and numerical analysis approach to characterize spatial configurations of inlay yarn and ground yarn in a three-dimensional scenario for laid-in weft-knitted fabrics. Loop lengths of the inlay and ground yarn materials were calculated and analyzed under different contact and deformation conditions to estimate material consumption in this complex interlooping layout. Series of laid-in weft-knitted fabrics made of different combinations of ground and inlay yarns were fabricated with the 1 × 1 laid-in loop pattern and tested for the model validation. The comparisons between the experimental and calculated results indicated that the newly developed geometric model favorably agreed with the experimental measurements regarding the ground loop lengths and inlay loop lengths applied in the laid-in weft-knitted structures. The results indicated the applicability of the developed geometric model of laid-in weft-knitted fabrics with similar structural patterns in practical use. The output of this study provides a theoretical and practical reference for structural and physical properties analysis, material consumption prediction, even cost estimation of laid-in weft-knitted fabrics.

The paper presents the opportunities to apply computer graphics in an object floodlighting design process and in an analysis of object illumination. The course of object floodlighting design has been defined based on a virtual three-dimensional geometric model. The problems related to carrying out the analysis of lighting, calculating the average illuminance, luminance levels and determining the illuminated object surface area are also described. These parameters are directly tied with the calculations of the Floodlighting Utilisation Factor, and therefore, with the energy efficiency of the design as well as the aspects of light pollution of the natural environment. The paper shows how high an impact of the geometric model of the object has on the accuracy of photometric calculations. Very often the model contains the components that should not be taken into account in the photometric calculations. The research on what influence the purity of the geometric mesh of the illuminated object has on the obtained results is presented. It shows that the errors can be significant, but it is possible to optimise the 3D object model appropriately in order to receive the precise results. For the example object presented in this paper, removing the planes that do not constitute its external surface has caused a two-fold increase in the average illuminance and average luminance. This is dangerous because a designer who wants to achieve a specific average luminance level in their design without optimizing the model will obtain the luminance values that will actually be much higher.

Two different algorithms to accelerate ray tracing in surface-to-surface radiation Monte Carlo calculations are investigated. The first algorithm is the well-known binary spatial partitioning (BSP) algorithm, which recursively bisects the computational domain into a set of hierarchically linked boxes that are then made use of to narrow down the number of ray-surface intersection calculations. The second algorithm is the volume-by-volume advancement (VVA) algorithm. This algorithm is new and employs the volumetric mesh to advance the ray through the computational domain until a legitimate intersection point is found. The algorithms are tested for two classical problems, namely an open box, and a box in a box, in both two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) geometries with various mesh sizes. Both algorithms are found to result in orders of magnitude gains in computational efficiency over direct calculations that do not employ any acceleration strategy. For three-dimensional geometries, the VVA algorithm is found to be clearly superior to BSP, particularly for cases with obstructions within the computational domain. For two-dimensional geometries, the VVA algorithm is found to be superior to the BSP algorithm only when obstructions are present and are densely packed.

As the speed of train increases, flow-induced vibration of trains passing through tunnels has become a subject of discussion, to investigate this phenomenon, a simplified geometric model and a vehicle dynamics model of a high-speed train traveling through a tunnel were built. To analyze the unsteady three-dimensional flow around the train, the 3-D, transient, viscous, compressible Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations combined with the k- two-equation turbulence model were solved with the finite volume method. The motion of the train was carried out using the technique of sliding grid method. The dynamics response of the train was obtained by means of the computational multi-body dynamics calculation. Meanwhile the running safety and riding comfort of the train were analyzed. With the numerical simulation, the variation of aerodynamic forces was obtained. The research founds that, vibration of the train increases drastically during it passing through a tunnel. The running safety and riding quality of the train are reduced greatly but they are in the safe range.
