A major limitation of the boundary element method (BEM) for the solution of electrical potential problems is the long computational time required. However, a large portion of the calculations involved can be viewed as being parallel in nature and can therefore be computed concurrently. This paper makes an effort to increase the efficiency of the BEM process using transputer-based multiprocessor computing techniques. The algorithms developed may equally well be applied to any multiprocessor system. The application selected to demonstrate the technique is the solution of an electrostatic problem governed by a two-dimensional Laplace equation. A parallel algorithm for problem setup and field extraction using BEM is designed and implemented on a transputer array. Special attention is directed to the utilization of the parallel processors to achieve maximum efficiency. The analysis in this work concentrates on the communication strategies for passing data between processors as well as a consideration of the workload attributed to each processor. The parallel algorithms were implemented using 3L Parallel Fortran;however, the choice of topology for the overall BEM implementation was limited by the fact that certain parts of the algorithm could only utilize a pipeline configuration of processors. Comprehensive results for the parallel BEM algorithm are given and they are encouraging, indicating that parallel processing has much to offer when applied to the boundary element method.

We study the influence of impurity scattering on the probability of electron wave switching between coupled quantum wells while varying the location of the impurities in an electron-wave directional coupler. We use a transfer-matrix formalism to solve the coupled-mode equations describing the electron propagation assuming that only one symmetric and one antisymmetric states are available for conduction in the directional coupler. If the Fermi energy is not large compared to the strength of the potential energy profile, the maximum probability of electron transfer between the wells can be substantially reduced from the predicted value of 100% for perfectly symmetric impurity-free directional couplers. The probability of transfer is strongly dependent on the location of the impurities. Attractive and repulsive impurities affect the probability of transfer differently. The potential of the impurities is modeled as a delta-potential with strength equal to a few feV- cm 2 . The relevance of our simulations for the study of directional couplers proposed recently is discussed.

Recently several proposals of quantum interference devices have appeared based on the close proximity of two coupled electron waveguides [1,2]. The steady-state analysis of these new electron-wave directional couplers indicates that these devices are feasible using current fabrication technology [2], and could be used as basic switches in high-performance digital circuit at low enough temperature. In order to investigate the potential high-frequency applications of these newly proposed electron directional couplers, we have studied the transfer of wavepackets between parallel quantum wells using a block alternating direction implicit technique to solve the two dimensional time-dependent Schrödinger equation following the scalar ADI scheme of Douglas and Gunn [3]. While injecting a wavepacket in one well, we show that only a partial transfer between wells (close to 85%) is reached even for perfectly double-quantum wells (in the direction of growth). We also study the amount of transfer in asymmetric configurations and while varying the total energy of the wavepacket. The length and time scales for maximum transfer are found to be around a few thousand angstroms and picoseconds, respectively.

This paper represents a physical model of two -dimensional transpiration cooling control system with surface heating and ablating. The governing equation is derived and the third boundary conditions are given. They constitute a two -dimensional variable -domain distributed parameter control system in which the control parameter appears in both the governing equation and the boundary conditions. Applying time semi-step alternating direction method to difference this mathematical model, the tridiagonal difference equations are obtained. For a flying shell of electromagnetic railgun, the mathematical simulation results agree with the realistic physical process, and the control parameter not only can control the temperature of heat shield, but also can control the boundary motion effectively.

Describes a knowledge-based inspection planning system for solid objects. The goals of intelligent inspection planning include determining which entities (edges, etc.) of the object should be measured, what camera locations and viewing directions should be used to perform inspection, and how the search for these entities and their inspection can be robustly and efficiently done once the sensor data is obtained. An effective solution to this problem is clearly very important not only from the automation point of view but also in order to gather and use sensor information effectively given the volume and complexity of required information for adequate performance.< >
