Chapter 13 Computational modeling on the design of the morphology of aerogels
Abstract
In this chapter, the authors go into the complicated world of using computers to create the shape of aerogels. They focus on SiC porous media and talk about other types of aerogel structures as well. Using Monte Carlo simulations with MATLAB and FORTRAN90, the study carefully looks at factors like pore size, medium thickness, and porosity to model SiC aerogels’ porous structure correctly. By comparing the model’s results to extinction coefficient data from the books, we can see that there is a strong link between pore size, porosity, and the extinction coefficient. Along with SiC aerogels, this chapter ...
