Quasi-static Methods in Neutron Transport
… Embracing such tendency, in the present work the quasi-static approach has been adopted and implemented for the design of computational codes capable of performing reliable transient calculations. The underlying idea has been the development of the kinetic module on top of the transport solver, in …

A computational fluid dynamic investigation of rowing oar blades
… also incorporated into the CFD model. Firstly, a quasi–static method was applied, whereby the blade was held at a discrete number of angles of attack to the oncoming flow. The performance of the model was assessed by applying it to four scaled oar blade designs and validating results against an …

Connections to concrete-filled steel tubes
… specimens were fabricated and tested with the quasi-static method. The flexural strength of the connection was the primary concern in this study. The analytical models and each experimental specimen were a T-shape configuration. A monotonic load was applied to the analytical finite element …

Lap time simulation for racing car design
… packages have simulateda full lap using a quasi-static method which splits the path of the vehicle into segments. An analysis is then made of the vehicle at each segment point using the external forces acting on the vehicle. Due to the constant acceleration(i.e. steady state) assumption …

Computation of electromagnetic fields in assemblages of biological cells using a modified finite difference time domain scheme. Computational electromagnetic methods using quasi-static approximate version of FDTD, modified Berenger absorbing boundary and Floquet periodic boundary conditions to investigate the phenomena in the interaction between EM fields and biological systems.
… is the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method. When modelling objects that are small compared with the wavelength, for example biological cells at radio frequencies, the standard Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method requires extremely small time-step sizes, which may lead to …
