  • Patent number: 8775139
    Abstract: A method for simulating fluid flow includes: discretizing a space in which a fluid flows into a regular lattice; assuming that fluid particles repetitively move and collide in the lattice; deriving a univariate polynomial equation by comparing the n-th (n is a non-negative integer) order momentum of velocity between the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution and the discretized Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution; calculating the weight coefficients corresponding to the discrete velocities of the fluid particles based on the univariate polynomial equation; and deriving a lattice Boltzmann model using the weight coefficients. A lattice Boltzmann model with superior stability and accuracy may be derived easily.

  • Patent number: 8338004
    Abstract: The present invention provides a magnetic tunnel junction structure, including a first magnetic layer having a fixed magnetization direction and a second magnetic layer having a reversible magnetization direction. A non-magnetic layer is formed between the first magnetic layer and the second magnetic layer and a third magnetic layer allows the magnetization direction of the second magnetic layer to be inclined with respect to a plane of the second magnetic layer by a magnetic coupling to the second magnetic layer with a vertical magnetic anisotropic energy thereof larger than a horizontal magnetic anisotropic energy thereof. A crystal-structure separation layer is formed between the second magnetic layer and the third magnetic layer for separating a crystal orientation between the second and the third magnetic layers.
