NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF HEAT-AND-MASS TRANSFER AND STRUCTURAL TRANSFORMATION IN DISPERSE MATERIALS
V. A. Sychevskii UDC 519.6 This paper discusses a new approach to the investigation of highly deformable natural disperse systems based on the introduced notion of the physical element as a cell of the material structure. A method for calculating the heat-and-mass transfer and the structural transformation in disperse systems is described. The general principles and procedures of the technique of disperse system simulation, which is proposed to be named the method of physical elements, have been formulated. A. V.
