Starting with novel algorithms for optimally updating bounding volume hierarchies of objects undergoing arbitrary deformations, the author presents a new data structure that allows, for the first time, the computation of the penetration volume. The penetration volume is related to the water displacement of the overlapping region, and thus...

The Israeli department of defence has one of the strictest information security guidelines in the world, and a part of these guidelines is the requirement to have complete physical separation between the public and internal networks. A regular firewall just won't do, and this requirement gave birth to the concept of the
Air-Gap, a...
The relatively recent increase in computational power available for mathematical modeling and simulation raises the possibility that modern numerical methods can play a significant role in the analysis of complex particulate flows. This introductory monograph focuses on basic models and physically based computational solution strategies for the...
