A comprehensive model for energy transport and ablation of metal films induced by ultrashort pulsed lasers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
A comprehensive laser material ablation model was developed to describe energy transport, ultrafast phase changes, and material ablation of metal films irradiated by ultrashort laser pulses. The two optical models were ...
Molecular dynamics simulation of evaporation and explosive boiling over nanostructured surfaces
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Evaporation and boiling is important for many processes including removal of CO2 from the anode of methanol fuel cells, electronic cooling and various ...
Dynamic simulation of particulate and molecular systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Granular packing of millimeter-scale and micrometer-scale particles with three different size distributions (monosize, bimodal and Gaussian) are studied ...
Dual phase lag behavior of living biological tissues in laser hyperthermia
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] A Generalized dual phase lag behavior for living biological tissues are investigated for blood and tissues and also developed a generalized dual phase ...
Ab initio molecular dynamics study of nanoscale heat transfer and energy conversion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
In this thesis, ab initio molecular dynamics simulation based on a plane wave/pseudopotential implementation of density functional theory was adopted to investigate nanoscale heat transfer and energy conversions for ...
Entropy generation and thermal performance of a pulsating heat pipe
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
A U-shaped pulsating heat pipe is an excellent heat transfer performance device. This study has been investigated step by step. a) The entropy generation is based on the second law of thermodynamics. In the present study, ...
Analysis of oscillatory flow and heat transfer in an oscillating heat pipe
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
An advanced physical and theoretical model of a U-shaped minichannel - a building block of an Oscillating Heat Pipe (OHP) - has been developed step by step. a) The gravity and pressure loss at the bend are included in the ...
Molecular dynamics simulation of nanosintering processes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
In this thesis, two scenarios of simulations are studied by molecular dynamics (MD) method. The first one will investigate the neck growth in the laser sintering of different-size gold (100) nanoparticles under different ...
An axisymmetric interfacial tracking model for melting-vaporization-resolidification in a thin metal film irradiated by pico to femtosecond pulse lasers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
A two dimensional axisymmetric, interfacial tracking method is developed to model rapid melting and solidification of a free standing metal film subjected to an ultra-short laser pulse. Finite volume method is employed to ...
