BOUNDARY FUNCTION [8 records]

Record 1 2022-08-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Lubrication Technology
CONT

Anti-wear additives and extreme pressure agents form a large group of chemical additives that carry out their function of protecting metal surfaces during boundary lubrication by forming a protective film or barrier on the wear surfaces.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génie chimique
  • Tribologie
CONT

[...] un additif antiusure peut perdre de son efficacité en présence d'un additif plus polaire que lui qui, par exemple, va former un film barrière, solidement adsorbé sur les surfaces, s'opposant physiquement à l'adsorption de l'additif antiusure [...]

Subject field(s)
  • Mathematics
OBS

(...) piecewise continuous function. A function is piecewise continuous on "R" if it is defined on "R" and "R" can be separated into a finite number of pieces such that the function is continuous on the interior of each piece and such that the function approaches a finite limit as a point moves in the interior of a piece and approaches a boundary point in any way.

Record 3 2014-06-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atomic Physics
DEF

The distance beyond the boundary of a medium to a point at which the asymptotic neutron flux density would go to zero if it were represented by the same function as within the boundary in the one-group theory of neutron transport.

OBS

The asymptotic flux density is the flux density far from boundaries, localized sources, and localized absorbers.

OBS

extrapolation distance; augmentation distance: terms and definition standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique atomique
DEF

Dans la théorie à un groupe du transport des neutrons, distance de la limite d'un milieu jusqu'au point extérieur à cette limite où la densité de flux neutronique asymptotique s'annulerait si elle était représentée par la même fonction qu'en deçà de la limite.

OBS

La densité de flux asymptotique est la densité de flux loin des limites, des sources localisées et des absorbeurs localisés.

OBS

longueur extrapolée : terme et définition normalisés par l'ISO.

CONT

To calculate the harmonic measure and its characteristic properties one can follow two numerical methods. i) After having generated a DLA cluster one releases further particles... whose diffusional motion is simulated by the same technique... which is used for growing the aggregate.... ii) solving the Laplace equation... with boundary conditions.... For small clusters the Green's function method can be used to solve Laplace's equation... yielding GSPD free of any effects....
