Comparison of 3D structural characteristics of high and low resolution X-ray microtomographic images of paper
2005
The detailed 3D structure of paper was revealed applying both high and low resolution X-ray microtomography. The qualityof the two techniques with respect to resolution and volume size was compared by measuring various structural andtransport properties of the digital volumes.
LATTICE–BOLTZMANN SIMULATION OF DENSE NANOFLOWS: A COMPARISON WITH MOLECULAR DYNAMICS AND NAVIER–STOKES SOLUTIONS
2007
In a recent work, a dense fluid flow across a nanoscopic thin plate was simulated by means of Molecular Dynamics (MD) and Lattice Boltzmann (LB) methods. It was found that in order to recover quantitative agreement with MD results, the LB simulation must be pushed down to sub–nanoscopic scales, i.e. fractions of the range of molecular interactions. In this work, we point out that in this sub–nanoscopic regime, the LB method works outside the hydrodynamic limit at the level of a single cell spacing. A quantitative comparison with the Navier–Stokes (NS) solution shows however that LB and NS results are quite similar, thereby indicating that, apart for a small region past the plate, this nano…
