As solar modules become more sophisticated, the techniques used to simulate energy performance need to become more advanced. Image: Nextracker. Bifacial photovoltaic (PV) technology has emerged as the ...

Systematic, well-designed, and implementable research is the most effective way to solve many problems facing state department of transportation (DOT) administrators and engineers. Often, highway ...

This chapter presents the results of the literature review for operational traffic simulation models. Sources compiled for the literature review include guidance documents (general and DOT-specific), ...

The benefits of continuous biologics manufacturing are generally accepted, but transitioning to continuous processing from batch processing is hindered by the lack of modeling and simulation tools.

Adrian Macneil has a solid understanding of this space. As an executive at the self-driving startup Cruise, he built the ...

The challenge is that, in many organizations, the CAE (computer-aided engineering) review process hasn’t kept pace with advances in simulation tools. As a result, a widening gap exists between running ...

A photon enters an extraordinarily intense laser field. When it exits, its polarization has rotated, as though empty space itself were a crystal. That effect, called vacuum birefringence, is one of ...

A Dutch research team has outlined a new method to assess the coefficient of performance of air-to-water heat pumps by considering ambient temperature and relative humidity. The model is based on the ...

A new simulation model shows Earth's evolution over the past 100 million years in a very detailed manner. The sun sets behind artist Luke Jerram's 'Floating Earth' at Pennington Flash on November 22, ...

Simulation is becoming a critical step in additive manufacturing, allowing engineers to anticipate issues like warping, residual stress, and structural weaknesses before printing begins. In WAAM, for ...
