ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on more advanced models in the fields and introduces different examples on reaction–diffusion systems, including snowflake formation and binary solidification. The chapter presents a model of wave propagation, in which wave interference and bouncing are represented using Cell-Discrete-event systems specification (DEVS) and describes a model used for flow-injection analysis, which shows how to model automated analysis of liquid samples in a reactor. It discusses various heat transfer models, using adapted versions of the finite-element method and provides an advanced lattice gas model that represents the movement of particles in a field and three-dimensional representation of particles that can be deformed in a three-dimensional virtual clay environment. The chapter explores different models in chemistry and physics using Cell-DEVS and describes varied models on diffusion and reaction and explains a model on snowflake formation and another one on binary solidification. It also discusses how to model wave interference and a model of a Flow Injection Analysis manifold.
