The dynamical renormalization group calculations for distortive structural phase transitions report [[rho].sub.[sigma]] = (zv + [[alpha].sub.[sigma]]), where [[alpha].sub.[sigma]] = [alpha] + 2([phi] - 1)(1 - [[delta].sub.[sigma],1)], where z, v,[phi], and are [alpha] are the dynamical, correlation length, heat capacity, and crossover critical exponents, respectively.
In this paper, we investigate the renormalization group theory for the 2D generalized sine-Gordon model by using the dimensional regularization method to regularize the divergence [50-52].
The nonlinear extension of Balser-Kostov summability method has been requested by our investigation of renormalization group (RG) flow equation over probability measures [[sigma].sup.N] in [R.sup.N] as N goes to [infinity].
For resolving the turbulent flows in cylinder, the Renormalization Group (RNG) k-e turbulence model [17] was used.

[5], compared eight modified (k- [epsilon]) models and concluded that the Renormalization Group (RNG) k-[epsilon] model performs best among all the eddyviscosity models tested for mixed convection flow.
The twopoint correlation function that was used was obtained from Monte Carlo simulations [3, 4] for linear chains that agreed with renormalization group calculations [5].
