Advances In Computational Modeling And Simulation

The book presents select proceedings of Global meet on ‘Computational Modelling and Simulation, Recent Innovations, Challenges and Perspectives, 2020. This book covers leading-edge technologies from different domains such as computation in optimization and control, multiscale and multiphysics modeling and computation analysis, environmental modeling, modeling approaches to enterprise systems and services, finite element analysis, dependability and security, high-performance computation/cloud computing applications, computational biology and chemistry and computational mechanics. The primary goal of this book is to strengthen pre-eminence in computational modeling and simulation by catalyzing the transformative use of innovative developments in a wide range of disciplines to achieve lasting societal impact. The book discusses on how to perform simulation of large complex dynamic systems in an efficient manner using advanced computational analysis. The inter-disciplinary nature of the book would be a valuable reference for academicians and research scientists, industrialists interested in modelling and simulation driven by computational technology.

Collection of selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2nd International Conference on Advances in Computational Modeling and Simulation (ACMS 2013), July 17-19, 2013, Kunming, China. Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS). The 316 papers are grouped as follows: Chapter 1: Computational Solid Mechanics; Chapter 2: Computational Fluid Dynamics; Chapter 3: Applied Mathematics; Chapter 4: Computational Analyze of Nonlinear Systems; Chapter 5: Applied Computational Methods in Engineering Research; Chapter 6: Computational Methods in Fire Safety; Chapter 7: Other Related Topics

This introduction and textbook familiarizes engineers with the use of mathematical and computational modeling and simulation in a way that develops their understanding of the solution characteristics of a broad class of real-world problems. The relevant basic and advanced methodologies are explained in detail, with special emphasis on ill-defined problems. Some fifteen simulation systems are presented on the language and the logical level. Moreover, the reader also can accumulate an experiential overview by studying the wide variety of case studies spanning much of science and engineering. The latter are briefly described within the book but their full versions as well as some simulation software demos are available on the Web. The book can be used for courses on various levels as well as for self-study. Advanced sections are identified and can be skipped in a first reading or in undergraduate courses.

Agent-based models (ABM) and computational models simulate the actions and interactions of autonomous agents (both individual or collective entities such as organizations or groups) with a view to assessing their effects on the system as a whole. They combine elements of game theory, complex systems, emergence, computational sociology, multi-agent systems, and evolutionary programming. In this book, the authors discuss the modeling, simulation and optimization of resources management in hospital emergency departments using the agent-based approach; computational modeling in male reproduction; consumer-centric agent-based marketing models; Lattice-Boltzmann simulation of transport phenomena in agroindustrial biosystems; agent-based models in cancer prevention research; model-based approaches to diagnosis of multi-agent plans; and modeling behavior of web users as agents with reason and sentiment.

This volume presents recent research work focused in the development of adequate theoretical and numerical formulations to describe the behavior of advanced engineering materials. Particular emphasis is devoted to applications in the fields of biological tissues, phase changing and porous materials, polymers and to micro/nano scale modeling. Sensitivity analysis, gradient and non-gradient based optimization procedures are involved in many of the chapters, aiming at the solution of constitutive inverse problems and parameter identification. All these relevant topics are exposed by experienced international and inter institutional research teams resulting in a high level compilation. The book is a valuable research reference for scientists, senior undergraduate and graduate students, as well as for engineers acting in the area of computational material modeling.
