For three-dimensional finite element modeling, it is necessary to use a solid element taking into account the flexural response and also should be simple for computer storage. One of the elements that can attain the previous requirements is the incompatible (non-conforming) element. In this paper, formulation and algorithm of the developed 3D finite element code of incompatible displacement mode for flexural analysis are presented using 3D 8-noded isoparametric incompatible brick element. Several comparisons and a parametric study have been carried out to verify the incompatible brick element and the developed code. Accurate results have been obtained by the 3D incompatible element in flexural analysis of beams in comparison with the standard element.

A noniterative implicit method for solving the discrete conservation equations of the KORSAR/GP computer code (hereinafter referred to as KORSAR) two-fluid model is presented. The KORSAR/GP code has been developed jointly by specialists of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise Aleksandrov Research Institute of Technology (NITI) and the special design bureau OKB Gidropress. In 2009, the code was certified at the Federal Service for Environmental, Technological, and Nuclear Supervision (Rostekhnadzor) as applied to numerical safety assessment of VVER-type power reactor plants. The code uses the semi-implicit numerical scheme, which limits the integration time step by the Courant condition with respect to the velocity of a two-phase flow. To cut down the time it takes to calculate prolonged transients in reactor plants, an implicit numerical method, which does not limit the time step by the Courant condition, has been developed on the basis of the SETS (stability-enhancing two-step) method. It is based on the semi-implicit scheme. Prior to its application, discrete phase momentum conservation equations with the convective terms written in implicit form are solved at each time step. After the semi-implicit step, the specific (per unit volume) mass and energy of the phases, which are donor quantities in the convective terms of the transport equations, are calculated at the new time layer. Unlike the SETS method, the implicit method developed for the KORSAR code employs a semi-implicit scheme with linearization of unsteady terms describing the change in the specific mass and energy of a two-phase flow. This approach enables us to solve discrete equations in a noniterative manner. However, the implementation of this procedure requires that the unknown scalar variables, such as the phase specific enthalpies, the vapor volume fraction, and the pressure, be determined in the computational cells. Therefore, the semi-implicit scheme with linearization of unsteady terms with reca

While research linking science and aesthetics continues to proliferate, in technical domains like software development, quantitative investigations of aesthetics are virtually nonexistent. As an initial exploration, we administered an online survey to 12 experts and 38 novices in programming, assessing the frequency, nature, time course, and judgment criteria of their aesthetic experience with software code. Both groups reported having aesthetic experiences with code, though somewhat less frequently and intensely than with other creative artifacts. Overall, judgments of "ugly" code were reported to be faster than those of "beautiful" code, which in turn were faster than those of "correct" code. Aesthetic considerations of code were generally rated as quite important, though not as important as functionality. Finally, aesthetic judgment criteria were highly correlated among experts and novices. Results suggest a quantitative approach to aesthetics in software code is a promising direction, with trans-domain implications for aesthetics and creativity.

Many fields of science and engineering rely on running simulations with complex and computationally expensive models to understand the involved processes in the system of interest. Nevertheless, the high cost involved hamper reliable and exhaustive simulations. Very often such codes incorporate heuristics that ironically make them less tractable and transparent. This paper introduces an active learning methodology for adaptively constructing surrogate models, i.e. emulators, of such costly computer codes in a multi-output setting. The proposed technique is sequential and adaptive, and is based on the optimization of a suitable acquisition function. It aims to achieve accurate approximations, model tractability, as well as compact and expressive simulated datasets. In order to achieve this, the proposed Active Multi-Output Gaussian Process Emulator (AMOGAPE) combines the predictive capacity of Gaussian Processes (GPs) with the design of an acquisition function that favors sampling in low density and fluctuating regions of the approximation functions. Comparing different acquisition functions, we illustrate the promising performance of the method for the construction of emulators with toy examples, as well as for a widely used remote sensing transfer code.

A computer code for analyzing the safety feature of triso coated particles for high temperature reactor has been developed based on PANAMA code. This python based code were separated into several modules to perform the main TRIAC-BATAN and linear interpolation calculation, to read the input data file, and to control the sequence of all TRIAC-BATAN calculation. In this initial development phase, TRIAC-BATAN can produce similar pattern as PANAMA calculation in the case of failure fraction of triso particles, either for Depressurized Loss Of Forced Cooling (DLOFC), 100 degrees C higher than DLOFC temperature and constant accident temperature at 1600 degrees C. By using the euclidean distance, TRIAC-BATAN calculation and PANAMA for DLOFC condition are separated in around 3.23.10(-7).

To simulate the intense bunched beam transport, a computer program LEADS-3D has been developed. The particle trajectories are analysed with the Lie algebraic method. The third order approximation of the trajectory solutions is made with space charge forces off, and the second order approximation is made with space charge forces on. The particle distribution in the 3D ellipsoid is uniform or Gaussian. Most of the conventional beam optical elements are incorporated in the code. The optimization procedures are provided to fit the beam lines to satisfy the given optical conditions.
