Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) has developed a novel hazardous dispersion model with support from the Defense Special Weapons Agency. The Operational Multiscale Environment model with Grid Adaptivity (OMEGA) is based on an unstructured prismatic grid. OMEGA has the capability to adapt its grid statically as well as dynamicall...

Fig. 6 (right) shows the plume for the adapted grid simulation at the same time. Around nine hours into the simulation the winds shift slightly towards east (see Fig. 7). As the plume shifts the adaptation process follows. Fig. 7 (right) shows the adapted grid at 12 hours into the simulation. The final adapted grid has 1266 cells and the same flow field. the resolution of the final adapted grid varied from 7 km to 38 km.

This monograph examines the U.S. Military's struggle to find the correct balance between conventional and counterinsurgency/stability approaches. The author uses history to remind us that at the end of wars, Armies often "throw the baby out with the bathwater" and revert to a default position for organization and doctrine instead of inculcating tho...

Seldane (terfenadine) and Benadryl (diphenhydramine) were tested against a placebo in six Command, Control, and Communications (C3) simulations involving a team of three AWACS weapons directors. Three of the simulations were high difficulty, three were low. An eclectic, hierarchical performance measurement system was developed to address several re...

How to improve system operation safety is an important problem faced by researchers and operators. The core of system operation is the human-machine interaction; so based on system safety analysis, it is an important approach to improve weapon operation safety by constructing man-in-the-loop simulation system to train the operators. Aiming to train...

The end of the Cold War brought about new security challenges for the conventional arms control field. Many conflicts, interstate and intrastate ones, started to emerge (or better re-emerge) around the globe. Especially in countries of the developing world, numerous armed clashes occurred based on ethnic and religious divisions. These conflicts ben...

ABSTRACT: A numerical tool was used for the automatic generation of unstructured meshes in the finite element method implantation. The generated meshes are used in the development of two dimensional (2-D) numerical models in the simulation of oceanic phenomena. For it, a package developed in Matlab based on Delaunay unstructured triangular grid refinement algorithms was used and complemented by a set of diagnostic utilities to check and improve grid quality.

In an unbounded physical domain, simulating a turbulent fluid on an Eulerian grid is rather tricky. Since it is difficult to predict the motion of the fluid, it is also difficult to guess which computational domain would allow the simulation of the fluid without crossing the computational boundaries. To address this dilemma, we have developed a novel adaptive framework where the simulation grid follows the motion of the flow. Our technique is based on the principle of Galilean Invariance and the culling of simulation cells using a metric derived from continuative boundary conditions. We describe our framework and showcase its advantages over traditional techniques. Timing results and visual comparisons are presented.
