Optimal Conflict Resolution for Vehicles With Intersecting and Overlapping Paths by Johan Karlsson, Nikolce Murgovski, Jonas Sjoberg

“…Further, it is evaluated how the solutions differ when using various cost functions and how the controller handles disturbances in the form of a sudden lane blockage. Lastly, it is discussed how the presented controller could also be extended to handle mixed-traffic scenarios and how soft constraints can be used to avoid infeasibility in the case of missing or noisy traffic data.…”

Modeling of Two-Phase Flow in Rough-Walled Fracture Using Level Set Method by Yunfeng Dai, Zhifang Zhou, Jin Lin, Jiangbo Han

“…The curve of the invasion pressure-water volume fraction is generated by modeling two-phase flow during a sudden drainage. The volume fraction of water restricted in the rough-walled fracture is calculated by integrating the water volume and dividing by the total cavity volume of the fracture while the two-phase flow is quasistatic. …”
