✦ Synopsis

The results of direct numerical solution of the kinetic equation for the droplet size distribution function are presented. This method which is not restricted by the Knudsen number was developed using the analogy with a similar method of solution of the Boltzmann kinetic equation. The simulation of vapor behavior at fast creation of supersaturation state in vapor-gas mixture by means of adiabatic expansion was carried out for the verification of the method. The results obtained by this method were compared with those which were obtained by using the method of moments over a broad range of Knudsen number. The relevance of taking into account the dependence between saturation pressure and droplet size on the dynamics of condensational relaxation was studied.

This paper presents a new method to simulate liquid-vapor flows with phase change using a phase-field-like approach. In this method, the liquid-vapor interface is described as a three-dimensional continuous medium across which physical properties have strong but continuous variations. This continuou

The inductive method for measuring the critical current density in a high-temperature superconducting (HTS) bulk has been investigated numerically. In the method, an ac current is applied in a small coil placed just above a HTS bulk and, simultaneously, the third-harmonic voltage V 3 induced in the

In this paper a direct method for solving variational problems using nonclassical parameterization is presented. A nonclassical parameterization based on nonclassical orthogonal polynomials is first introduced to reduce a variational problem to a nonlinear mathematical programming problem. Then, usi

In this paper, numerical integral methods are proposed to simulate fluxgate behaviour. The goal of this work is to improve fluxgate magnetization description with efficient numerical methods and to favourably replace the classical, and still used a lot, demagnetization factor. To begin with, the num
