Simulation of rock salt dissolution and its impact on land subsidence [PDF]
Extensive land subsidence can occur due to subsurface dissolution of evaporites such as halite and gypsum. This paper explores techniques to simulate the salt dissolution forming an intrastratal karst, which is embedded in a sequence of carbonates, marls,

Time-independent hybrid enrichment for finite element solution of transient conduction–radiation in diffusive grey media [PDF]
We investigate the effectiveness of the partition-of-unity finite element method for transient conduction–radiation problems in diffusive grey media. The governing equations consist of a semi-linear transient heat equation for the temperature ?eld and a ...

Prediction of the electromagnetic torque in synchronous machines through Maxwell stress harmonic filter (HFT) method [PDF]
For the calculation of torque in synchronous motors a local method is analysed, based on the Maxwell stress theory and the filtered contributions due to the harmonics of the magnetic vector potential in the motor air-gap.
