Three-dimensional modelling of streaming potential
TL;DR: In this paper, a 3D finite volume algorithm is developed to evaluate the self-potential (SP) distribution resulting from subsurface fluid flow, and the algorithm explicitly calculates the distribution of streaming current sources and solves for the SP given a model of hydraulic head and prescribed distributions of the streaming current cross-coupling conductivity and electrical conductivity.

Focusing on mesoscales: from the energy-minimization multiscale model to mesoscience
TL;DR: Three decades of related research at IPE, CAS are reviewed, spanning from the energy-minimization multiscale (EMMS) model specific for gas–solid fluidization to the EMMS principle, which is probably general for all mesoscale problems.
Journal ArticleDOI
On entropy production
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the case of a dynamical system when irreversible time evolution is generated by a non-Hermitian superoperator on the states of the system, and introduce a generalized scalar product which can be used to construct a monotonically changing functional of the state, a generalized entropy.

A finite element method for simulating interface motion-II. Large shape change due to surface diffusion
B. Sun,Zhigang Suo +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a finite element method for large shape change of a solid due to matter diffusion on its surface is presented, where the free energy which motivates the change is the surface energy summed over surface and grain boundary areas.

Chemical instabilities and relaxation oscillations
TL;DR: The behaviour of a chemical system beyond a non-equilibrium unstable transition is analysed in the limit of a large separation of time scales characterizing the individual chemical steps and it is found that the system may exhibit in this limit relaxation, or quasi-discontinuous type oscillations.
