The 10th IEEE/ASME International Conference on Mechatronic and Embedded Systems and Applications

Senigallia - Ancona, Italy, September 10-12, 2014

Objectives: Mechanical and electrical systems show an increasing integration of mechanics with electronics and information processing. This integration is between the components (hardware) and the information-driven functions (software), result- ing in integrated systems called mechatronic systems. The development of mechatronic systems involves finding an optimal balance between the basic mechanical structure, sensor and actuators, automatic digital information processing and control in which embedded systems play a key role. The goal of the 10th IEEE/ASME MESA14, is to bring together experts from the fields of mechatronic and embedded systems, disseminate the recent advances made in the area, discuss future research directions, and exchange application experience.

Fractal mobile/immobile solute transport

Rina Schumer, David A. Benson, Mark M. Meerschaert, Boris Baeumer

Publication information: Rina Schumer, David A. Benson, Mark M. Meerschaert, Boris Baeumer. Fractal mobile/immobile solute transport. Water Resour. Res., 39(10), 1296, doi:10.1029/2003WR002141, 2003. Res., 45, W10417, doi:10.1029/2008WR007448 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2003WR002141/abstract

Abstract

A fractal mobile/immobile model for solute transport assumes power law waiting times in the immobile zone, leading to a fractional time derivative in the model equations. The equations are equivalent to previous models of mobile/immobile transport with power law memory functions and are the limiting equations that govern continuous time random walks with heavy tailed random waiting times. The solution is gained by performing an integral transform on the solution of any boundary value problem for transport in the absence of an immobile phase. In this regard, the output from a multidimensional numerical model can be transformed to include the effect of a fractal immobile phase. The solutions capture the anomalous behavior of tracer plumes in heterogeneous aquifers, including power law breakthrough curves at late time, and power law decline in the measured mobile mass. The MADE site mobile tritium mass decline is consistent with a fractional time derivative of order g = 0.33, while Haggerty et al.’s [2002] stream tracer test is well modeled by a fractional time derivative of order g = 0.3.

Monte Carlo simulation of superdiffusion and subdiffusion in macroscopically heterogeneous media

Y. Zhang, E. M. LaBolle, and K. Pohlmann

Publication information: Y. Zhang, E. M. LaBolle, and K. Pohlmann (2009), Monte Carlo simulation of superdiffusion and subdiffusion in macroscopically heterogeneous media, Water Resour. Res., 45, W10417, doi:10.1029/2008WR007448 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2008WR007448/abstract

Abstract

Monte Carlo simulations are developed to approximate one-dimensional superdiffusion and subdiffusion in macroscopically heterogeneous media with discontinuous or continuous transport parameters. For superdiffusion characterized by a space fractional (a-order) derivative model, one empirical reflection scheme is built to track particle trajectory across an interface with discontinuous dispersion coefficient D, where the reflection probability depends on both a and the ratio of D. Different from the superdiffusive case, anomalous diffusion described by a time fractional derivative model can be decomposed into a motion component and a hitting time process, where the discontinuity affects only the motion process, implying an efficient Monte Carlo simulation of decoupled continuous time random walks. The discontinuity of effective porosity n is also discussed, and results show the influence of the ratio of n on solute particle dynamics. In addition, for anomalous superdiffusion and subdiffusion in heterogeneous media with spatially continuous D and n, Langevin analysis reveals that the corresponding particle dynamics contain three independent stable Le´vy noises scaled by D, the gradient of D, and the gradient of ln(n). A new implicit Eulerian finite difference method is also developed to solve the spatiotemporal fractional derivative models and then extensively cross verify the Lagrangian solutions. Further testing against one field example of mixed superdiffusion and subdiffusion reveals the applicability and flexibility of the novel Monte Carlo approach in simulating realistic plumes in macroscopically heterogeneous media with locally variable transport parameters.
