  • Patent number: 11393593
    Abstract: In a biological simulation apparatus, an operation unit represents a structure domain where tissues of a biological organ exist by a structure mesh model based on a Lagrange description and a fluid domain where fluid inside the biological organ exists by an ALE fluid mesh model based on an ALE description method. In a fluid-structure interaction simulation, the operation unit deforms the structure mesh model, and then deforms the ALE fluid mesh model so as to form no gap on a first interface between a domain where a site other than a certain site of the biological organ in the structure domain exists and the fluid domain or no overlap with the structure domain. The operation unit captures a position of a second interface between a domain where the certain site exists and the fluid domain by using the ALE fluid mesh model as a reference.

  • Patent number: 11167994
    Abstract: For evaluating a polycrystalline silicon rod to be used as a raw material for production of FZ Si single crystals, novel evaluation values (values of characteristicsĂ—amount of crystals) including the amount of crystals grown in the growth direction (radial direction) are defined and the homogeneity in crystal characteristics in the growth direction (radial direction) is evaluated. Specifically, the homogeneity of the polycrystalline rod is evaluated by sampling a plurality of specimen plates each having, as a principal plane thereof, a cross-section perpendicular to a radial direction of the polycrystalline rod grown by a Siemens method at equal intervals in the radial direction, determining values of characteristics of the crystals of the specimen plates by measurements, and by using evaluation values obtained by multiplying amounts of the crystals (relative amounts of the crystals) at sites where the specimen plates have been sampled by the values of the crystal characteristics.
