Monte Carlo Simulation of Physical Properties
Monte Carlo methods were employed to simulate physical systems through the Potts and Ising models, implemented using MATLAB. The Potts model was applied to investigate mesoscale behavior, particularly the energy-minimization processes in grain evolution. This included an analysis of the effects of lattice size, spin states, and interaction parameters. The Ising model was used to study magnetism and phase transitions, simulating binary spin systems to explore phenomena such as spontaneous magnetization and critical temperature. These investigations underscore the utility of Monte Carlo simulations, facilitated by MATLAB, in deepening the understanding of material and magnetic systems across various scales.
A numerical simulation was developed in MATLAB to model heat transfer and solidification in a steel ingot using partial differential equation. Utilizing the explicit finite difference method, the simulation calculated temperature distributions and solidification fractions over time. The model accounted for the varying thermophysical properties of the solid and liquid phases, employing an effective heat capacity approach to represent latent heat during phase transitions.
