This thesis has designed and implemented Charles River City, an educational, location-based augmented reality simulation game that uses Pocket PC devices and GPS technology. As mobile devices and processing power become more common and affordable, high school teachers can take advantage of these technological advances to explore new channels for teaching and motivating students. The Charles River City game seeks to engage middle to high school students in learning science in a fun and innovative way. The story and background in the game is loosely based on a previous work called River City, a desktop multi-player virtual simulation game. In Charles River City, students work in teams to investigate the cause of several illnesses in a virtual town. Through interviewing virtual characters, gathering water samples, and analyzing collected data, students learn to think and solve problems as a scientist would. A test run of the game shows that the simulation game is an effective teaching tool that gives students a hands on experience in solving a real world problem that is fun and challenging.

Small reservoirs catch and store water for long periods and they decrease streamflow and increase ground-water recharge. A field monitoring program provided the measured water depth for four years in several reservoirs in the Republican River Basin where there are concerns about their aggregate effects in the basin. The daily water budget operation for one reservoir was developed. Daily seepage rates were estimated by using precipitation, inflow and evaporation which was assumed equal to grass reference evapotranspiration (ET0), that average 120 to 150 cm/yr, along with the measured stage-storage and stage-surface area relationships. Two computer simulation modules, written in FORTRAN 95, were developed to estimate 1) overflow and gross seepage and 2) potential for ground-water recharge underneath the reservoir. Required daily input data are precipitation, ET0, and inflow from the watershed area. Required reservoir site characteristics include stage-storage and stage-surface area relationships, a standard seepage rate (S0) at 14 different levels in the reservoir, soil-water and plant-growth characteristics and a monthly crop-residue factor. The gross seepage module calculates water depth that determines daily overflow, the water-surface area for evaporation and the head of water on the 14 levels to cause seepage losses. If a level is not inundated, seepage is zero. If a level is inundated less than 0.3-m, S0 is used. When the water head (hL) on a level exceeds 0.3 m, the seepage rate (SL) is increased by, SL = S0 * (hL/0.3)0.25. This relationship was chosen after testing several exponent values between 0 and 1. The modules were calibrated on one reservoir and verified on two others in northwestern Kansas. Results showed runoff from the watersheds averaged about 1.2 to 1.6 cm/yr from the average annual precipitation of 46 to 62 cm. The three reservoirs reduced streamflow at the reservoir site by 74 to 97%, but 90 to 95% of the retained runoff was calculated to contribute to ground-water recharge. Several sensitivity analyses for model inputs were done. Results showed that, the ratio of the average annual inflow volume from the watershed area to the reservoir storage volume was the most sensitive input variable tested.

This thesis describes the implementation of general Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques to laboratory and natural channels under flood flow conditions. Two commercially available codes, TELEMAC and CFX4, have been used in this work. The assessment of CFD for the calculation of flooded channel flow dynamics is carried out by simulating one laboratory test case from the Flood Channel Facility (FCF) Series B. This test case is that of a meandering two-stage channel with a depth ratio of 25% on the flood plain. Results from a computer simulation of experiment B23 are presented with a detailed quantitative comparison of the measured velocity, turbulence and bed shear stress. It supports the conclusion that CFD is able to account for the different flow mechanisms arising from the interaction between inbank and overbank flows in meandering channels. The maximum error in the prediction of the velocity is 10% and the comparisons show the calculations of bed shear stress to be reasonably accurate as well. Numerical tests indicate that the numerical solution is relatively independent of the boundary conditions, and confirm that turbulence transport is of minor importance in the experiment simulated. Numerical results from the simulation of flood flow mechanisms in natural rivers are also presented. It is hoped that these are of value to practitioners. Two 1-km reaches on the River Severn and River Ribble are modelled. They permit the investigation of two-stage channel flow dynamics at a larger scale. The numerical verification process establishes that the scale and the complex nature of the geometry are limiting factors, particularly for the numerical discretization of the domain and the calculation of the variables at the walls. It is however possible to estimate a priori part of the error such constraints generate. Away from the walls, the flow main features seem well predicted. The parallel between the velocity fields observed in river flood flows and those observed in the FCF is evident. Validation against field data suggests that the models are able to reproduce the flow mechanisms and account for bed shear stress variations correctly. Yet a significant level of uncertainty remains when the model predictions are compared against measured point data; more validation work is therefore required.

Two of the most important processes in cohesive sediment transport, erosion rate and settling velocity, were the focus of this study. Settling velocities were estimated by the Owen tube method and the acoustic Doppler velocimeter (ADV) method. A novel erosion model, namely a constant erosion rate model, was implemented in a three-dimensional hydrodynamic eutrophication model (HEM-3D) to simulate the turbidity maximums in the York River system, Virginia. Two one-month periods of model simulations were conducted to mimic typical dry (November--December, 2001) and wet (March--April, 2002) seasons. In order to have enough data to verify the model, four slack water surveys were carried out during each period to measure salinity and total suspended solid (TSS) profiles. Because of the unexpected extremely low freshwater discharge during both those periods, all survey results showed similar salinity and TSS distributions. The estuarine turbidity maximums were abnormally located about 30 km upstream from West Point, with TSS concentrations on the order of 102 mg/L. Laboratory Owen tube experiments showed that the settling velocity was related to the TSS concentration, highlighting the importance of sediment availability on settling velocity and the less important salinity effect. The estimated settling velocities from four sets of ADV field measurements were much higher than that from the Owen tube laboratory experiments and better reproduced the turbidity maxima for slackwater simulations. These suggested that turbulence may have a dominant effect on settling velocity, and the ADV method seems to be an effective and suitable way to estimate the settling velocity in turbulence dominated environments. Based on a newly found erosion behavior, a constant erosion rate model was implemented in a three-dimensional numerical model such that erosion occurs only during accelerating phases of the tide. Specifically, the Four Factor Model was suggested that consists of (i) a reference constant erosion rate, (ii) hydrodynamic effects, (iii) spatial variability of the bed condition, and (iv) temporal variability of the bed condition. The Four Factor Model successfully simulated the turbidity maximums in the York River system.

Changes in modern structural design have created a demand for products which are light but possess high strength. The objective is a reduction in fuel consumption and weight of materials to satisfy both economic and environmental criteria. Cold roll forming has the potential to fulfil this requirement. The bending process is controlled by the shape of the profile machined on the periphery of the rolls. A CNC lathe can machine complicated profiles to a high standard of precision, but the expertise of a numerical control programmer is required. A computer program was developed during this project, using the expert system concept, to calculate tool paths and consequently to expedite the procurement of the machine control tapes whilst removing the need for a skilled programmer. Codifying the expertise of a human and the encapsulation of knowledge within a computer memory, destroys the dependency on highly trained people whose services can be costly, inconsistent and unreliable. A successful cold roll forming operation, where the product is geometrically correct and free from visual defects, is not easy to attain. The geometry of the sheet after travelling through the rolling mill depends on the residual strains generated by the elastic-plastic deformation. Accurate evaluation of the residual strains can provide the basis for predicting the geometry of the section. A study of geometric and material non-linearity, yield criteria, material hardening and stress-strain relationships was undertaken in this research project. The finite element method was chosen to provide a mathematical model of the bending process and, to ensure an efficient manipulation of the large stiffness matrices, the frontal solution was applied. A series of experimental investigations provided data to compare with corresponding values obtained from the theoretical modelling. A computer simulation, capable of predicting that a design will be satisfactory prior to the manufacture of the rolls, would allow effort to be concentrated into devising an optimum design where costs are minimised.

The research work presented herein addresses the problem of the mathematical modelling of fire and fire-sprinkler scenarios. This involved the numerical simulation of two-phase, three-dimensional, buoyant, turbulent, recirculating flows. The simulations were carried out in two successive and distinct stages. The first stage dealt with the modelling of buoyant hot turbulent gas flows generated by a fire within room-sized compartments. These single phase studies were based on the field modelling approach to fire simulation. The second part of the study involved the introduction of the cold water droplets through a single sprinkler head, thus, extending the scenario into the more complex two-phase regime. This led to expanding the single-phase fire model to take account of two concurrently present phases, ie. gas/liquid. The strategy used to model the twophase process was the Eulerian-Eulerian technique or volume-fraction method. In order to take into account the physics involved in this process, interphase friction or drag was considered. Furthermore, due to the large difference in temperatures between the hot gases and the cold water droplets it was necessary to introduce interphase heat transfer. Due to the subsequent evaporation of the water droplets interphase mass transfer was also accounted for. Models for both steady-state and time-dependent situations were developed, whereby experimental results of transient fire-sprinkler tests were used for validation. The simulations performed indicated the creation of extremely complex flow fields within the compartments both prior and during sprinkler activation. Phenomena such as the significant cooling of the hot combustion gases caused by the active sprinkler and the evaporation of water droplets have also been predicted. This has been verified by the experimental data. Thus, it can be concluded that the models outlined herein are capable of simulating the complex two-phase fire-sprinkler scenarios. The need for subsequent investigative studies into such areas as the effect of using different auxiliary relationships eg. heat transfer, sprinkler characteristics and gridspacing has been highlighted. In order to complete the validation process, further experimental data needs to be made available. This two-phase technique has proven to be very computationally intensive with simulations requiring days of CPU time. 'Mis is clearly unacceptable. However, it is suggested that parallel computing technology may provide a means for reducing the CPU time involved to hours. It can be concluded that though the model developed requires further investigation and refinements, it provides a basis for a practical and useful fire engineering tool.

This thesis considers the computer simulation of moist agglomerate collisions using the discrete element method (DEM). The study is confined to pendular state moist agglomerates, at which liquid is presented as either absorbed immobile films or pendular liquid bridges and the interparticle force is modelled as the adhesive contact force and interstitial liquid bridge force. Algorithms used to model the contact force due to surface adhesion, tangential friction and particle deformation have been derived by other researchers and are briefly described in the thesis. A theoretical study of the pendular liquid bridge force between spherical particles has been made and the algorithms for the modelling of the pendular liquid bridge force between spherical particles have been developed and incorporated into the Aston version of the DEM program TRUBAL. It has been found that, for static liquid bridges, the more explicit criterion for specifying the stable solution and critical separation is provided by the total free energy. The critical separation is given by the cube root of liquid bridge volume to a good approximation and the 'gorge method' of evaluation based on the toroidal approximation leads to errors in the calculated force of less than 10%. Three dimensional computer simulations of an agglomerate impacting orthogonally with a wall are reported. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of adding viscous binder to prevent attrition, a common practice in process engineering. Results of simulated agglomerate-agglomerate collisions show that, for colinear agglomerate impacts, there is an optimum velocity which results in a near spherical shape of the coalesced agglomerate and, hence, minimises attrition due to subsequent collisions. The relationship between the optimum impact velocity and the liquid viscosity and surface tension is illustrated. The effect of varying the angle of impact on the coalescence/attrition behaviour is also reported. (DX 187, 340).

Streamflow information is essential for many important uses across a broad range of scales, including global water balances, engineering design, flood forecasting, reservoir operations, navigation, water supply, recreation, and environmental management.

Natural streams are characterized by changes in cross-section geometry, slope, and geophysical properties (bed-roughness, channel slope, etc.) along their reaches. Variations in the shape and size of the channel bed geometry result from several interacting features of the river system including the effect of different flow regimes, slope, sediment load, etc. Simplifying the river bed geometries could reduce the burden of assembling the required data, so implementing less detailed routing procedures could lower the computational burden. “At-a-station” hydraulic geometry (AHG) relationships are power-law functions which relate river discharge to key the hydraulics (i.e., velocity, depth, width, and flow area). The AHG relations have been introduced and discussed among researchers, engineers, and geomorphologist since the '50s based upon a limited number of observations made over few flow monitoring stations across the United States.

This doctoral thesis starts with an introduction to statistical data filtering procedures that are being trained and tested over both synthetic and realistic data followed by being applied over ~4000 U.S. Geological Survey’s river monitoring stations to compute AHG parameters based upon robust discharge-hydraulic measures. Given “refined” dataset, estimated AHG parameters are combined with morphological (channel pattern, channel slope, etc.) and geophysical features at a site. Doing so, potential interrelation among independent and dependent variables will be highlighted. Accordingly, given some assumptions, it is verified how well channel morphology and hydraulic components are intertwined and combined with AHG parameters and how categorizing river monitoring stations according to these characteristics will be practical and useful for further studies. For instance, the application of AHG parameters in modifying numerical hydraulic routing coefficients will result in an improvement in predictability of flood routing schemes (here, Muskingum-Cunge). The thesis will be concluded by the analysis of trade-off between computation time and accuracy or complexity vs. simplicity among advanced, hydrodynamic (HEC-RAS 2D) vs. low-complexity (AutoRoute and HAND) models that is also an alternative way to affirm the advantage of idealizing or simplifying a hydraulic system over-relying on time- and energy-costly approaches.

Bibliography: pages 77-80.
This is a study of the simulated performance of two local area networks, Ethernet and the MAP network, respectively based on the IEEE standards 802.3 and 802.4. The simulation language chosen is of the discrete event type rather than the more usual analytical model. This is done in order to observe the interaction between the various entities of a network in order to gain a better understanding of the method of operation of such a system. The performance demanded of a node entity by the networks is determined. The performance of some commercially available hardware is derived from manufacturer's specifications and compared with that required by the network. It is found that there is a significant disparity, with the network requirements far exceeding that of the hardware capabilities. The simulation models developed are used to determine the performance of the networks both with and without the limitations imposed by currently available hardware. While the inclusion of the hardware performance causes little ·loss in performance for the Ethernet network, it has a highly detrimental effect on that of the MAP network. A possible solution is found to this limitation which requires minimal change to the existing protocol. The conclusions reached are that with currently available hardware a group of nodes are able to fully utilise the performance of the Ethernet LAN although a single pair of nodes is unable to do so. With regard to the MAP network, the network performance is limited by that of the node performance although this can be offset to a certain extent by careful choice of one of the protocol parameters, or modification of the hardware design.

The aim of this project is to develop superabsorbents from proteins in our case it is azygomycetes fungus, where the process of this fungus is studied experimentally in Universityof Borås. As a result of this experiment by-products of protein are produced and this project isabout the study to make use of such proteins as superabsorbing materials.The water absorbing capacity is computationally studied using Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo(GEMC) simulations to determine the absorbing properties and to effectively improve theabsorbing capacity by using specific treatments, where this project focuses in using mesoscaleforce fields such as the MARTINI force field instead of atomistic force fields which wereused in studying the structure of the superabsorbents.For this purpose, the program code GEMMS is modified to make it read the desirable fileformats in order to perform the simulations. C++ is used here to code the program to read theGROMACS topology file (.top) for MARTINI force field instead of, as currently reading theatom type file (.atp) and the residue type file (.rtp) for the AMBER99 atomistic force field.

HNBR is a widely used oil resistant polymer with good tear strength. Due to these properties, HNBR is used in oil wells. However, harsh working environments require high equipment maintenance fees and HNBR will be degraded when contacted with H₂S. This study aims to improve the mechanical properties and H₂S resistance of HNBR through molecular dynamics simulations. Some of the simulation results are compared with experimental results and literature values. In this study, the solubility parameters and densities of pure HNBR with varying acrylonitrile content, FKM and three surfactants (KBM503, a trimethoxysilane methacrylate, A10, a perfluoroalkoxy bis(alkylamide), and Capstone-62MA, a semifluorinated methacrylate) are calculated by molecular dynamics simulation. The cohesive energy densities of 50/50 HNBR/FKM blends with different kinds and content of surfactants are calculated. The diffusion of H₂S and CO₂ are predicted by molecular dynamics simulation. The solubility coefficients of H₂S and CO₂ are predicted by Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations. A series of NPT simulations (constant of number of atoms, pressure and temperature) are used to estimate the glass-transition temperature of Capstone-62MA grafted HNBR. Dissipative Particles Dynamics (DPD) simulations are used to obtain the micro phase separation of Capstone-62MA grafted HNBR. The results shows that the solubility parameter values and densities we obtained from molecular dynamics simulations are fitted very well with literature values. According to our calculation of energy of mixing for HNBR/FKM blends with three surfactant (KBM503, A10 and Capstone-62MA), KBM503 has the largest effect. Based on the experiment results for HNBR/FKM blends with different mass fractions of KBM503, the tensile stress at break and elongation at break increases with the increases of KBM503 content until the mass fraction KBM503 is equal to 5%. When the mass fraction of KBM503 is 5%, adding more KBM503 decreases both mechanical properties. However, the tear strength keeps increasing when the mass fraction of KBM503 increases. The conclusion obtained from these experiments and simulations indicates that mixing HNBR with FKM can improve some mechanical properties but this method has disadvantages due the large discrepancy between the solubility parameters of HNBR and FKM. Gas diffusion and solubility calculations indicate that the diffusion and solubility of H₂S decrease with the content of Capstone-62MA increases. The gas diffusion of H₂S also decreases with increasing content of acrylonitrile in HNBR. However, the solubility of H₂S also increases with the content of acrylonitrile in HNBR. For comparison with H₂S, the diffusivity and solubility of CO₂ are calculated. The diffusion of CO₂ increases with the increase of Capstone-62MA content. The solubility of CO₂ decreases with increases of Capstone-62MA in HNBR with 17 wt% acrylonitrile content. For HNBR with 36 wt% acrylonitrile content, increasing the content of Capstone-62MA first increases the solubility of CO₂ and then reduces it when the content of Capstone-62MA is larger than 2%. The calculation also indicates that diffusion and solubility coefficient are reduced when the content of acrylonitrile increases in HNBR. Calculations for the glass-transition temperature of HNBR with different numbers of Capstone-62MA chains suggest that the glass-transition temperature is not changed by grafting Capstone-62MA onto the backbone of HNBR. These results are compared with experimental results. Although the glass-transition temperatures obtained from simulations are higher than those obtained from experiment, they have the same trend as the content of Capstone-62MA is changed. DPD simulations suggest that micro phase separation exists in the Capstone-62MA grafted HNBR and this phenomenon improves the mechanical performance of polymers. In summary, we have used computer modeling to design new polymer materials and perform molecular dynamics simulations, Monte Carlo simulations and DPD simulations to predict some properties of these new materials. Some simulation results are compared with experimental results indicating that we indeed obtain a newly a polymer material with improved properties with the help of computer simulations.

In this thesis, a simulation model used to simulate the running of buses on a single route, OC Transpo route 95, is studied. The model is implemented on a platform different from its original design at the University of Ottawa, and validation experiments are performed. For the most part, the model seems valid, although some additional calibration is recommended. New headway-based bus control strategies are presented and compared with other known control strategies. The statistical analysis and comparisons of those control strategies are based on the testing results obtained from the simulation model. The new headway control policies (called "Message Board" and "hybrid" policies) are shown to provide better service reliability in terms of less variable headway for the high-frequency route 95. Finally, a prototype of a knowledge-based system for real-time bus control purposes is developed and tested on the simulation model. The prototype is shown to be an interesting alternative for real-time bus control: it can effectively interface with the simulation model and perform real-time service control. This prototype will be a building block in the development of a more complete knowledge-based system capable of implementing more complex real-time service control policies in the hope of providing assistance to human controllers.

A computer simulator for sealed lead-acid (SLA) batteries has been built leveraging the Distributed Object Modeling Environment (DOME) project. DOME provides web accessibility for models written in various applications. The simulator was built as a designing tool. A designer using SLA batteries can use the simulator to predict battery behavior. Simulator inputs include nominal voltage, current draw, cycle time, and temperature. Outputs include charge voltage for float and cyclic applications, open circuit voltage as a function of depth of discharge, temperature compensated capacity, mass estimated, and an upper and lower boundary limit on the cyclic life of the battery. The inputs and outputs are fundamental design criterion when designing with batteries. Mathematical models were built using information available from battery manufacturers, published reports, and textbooks. When compared to empirical data from SLA manufacturers, the model showed little variance. Simulator charge voltage shows an average difference of 2.1 % when compared to empirical data while simulator predicted capacity overlaps manufacturers' data. Open circuit voltage data, as a function of depth of discharge, shows a close fits to empirical data.

During the past three decades, the use of roundabouts has increased throughout the world due to their greater benefits in comparison with intersections controlled by traditional means. Roundabouts are often chosen because they are widely associated with low accident rates, lower construction and operating costs, and reasonable capacities and delay. In the planning and design of roundabouts, special attention should be given to the movement of pedestrians and bicycles. As a result, there are several guidelines for the design of pedestrian and bicycle treatments at roundabouts that increase the safety of both pedestrians and bicyclists at existing and proposed roundabout locations. Different design guidelines have differing criteria for handling pedestrians and bicyclists at roundabout locations. Although all of the investigated guidelines provide better safety (depending on the traffic conditions at a specific location), their effects on the performance of the roundabout have not been examined yet. Existing roundabout analysis software packages provide estimates of capacity and performance characteristics. This includes characteristics such as delay, queue lengths, stop rates, effects of heavy vehicles, crash frequencies, and geometric delays, as well as fuel consumption, pollutant emissions and operating costs for roundabouts. None of these software packages, however, are capable of determining the effects of various pedestrian crossing locations, nor the effect of different bicycle treatments on the performance of roundabouts. The objective of this research is to develop simulation models capable of determining the effect of various pedestrian and bicycle treatments at single-lane roundabouts. To achieve this, four models were developed. The first model simulates a single-lane roundabout without bicycle and pedestrian traffic. The second model simulates a single-lane roundabout with a pedestrian crossing and mixed flow bicyclists. The third model simulates a singlelane roundabout with a combined pedestrian and bicycle crossing, while the fourth model simulates a single-lane roundabout with a pedestrian crossing and a bicycle lane at the outer perimeter of the roundabout for the bicycles. Traffic data was collected at a modern roundabout in Boca Raton, Florida. The results of this effort show that installing a pedestrian crossing on the roundabout approach will have a negative impact on the entry flow, while the downstream approach will benefit from the newly created gaps by pedestrians. Also, it was concluded that a bicycle lane configuration is more beneficial for all users of the roundabout instead of the mixed flow or combined crossing. Installing the pedestrian crossing at one-car length is more beneficial for pedestrians than two- and three-car lengths. Finally, it was concluded that the effect of the pedestrian crossing on the vehicle queues diminishes as the distance between the crossing and the roundabout increases.

In this thesis, we designed and implemented a simulator that supports multiple robots within a dynamic environment. The goal of this tool is to provide a testing environment for navigational robots that run on the MOOS platform. The simulator is written in C++ and utilizes several open source libraries to create a virtual world for robots to interact with by faking sensor information. A design goal of this thesis has been to make the simulator versatile enough to be useful for a variety of robots, from land to marine. Such a tool is valuable in research because the cost of developing a custom simulator can consume too many man-hours. Reducing this cost by creating a generic and customizable simulator has been the main motivation behind this thesis. It has also been one of the major challenges behind the project.

A simplified model with only 2 degrees of freedom is developed for cavity growth along a grain-boundary by surface and grain-boundary diffusion following a similar model for a row of grains used by Sun et al, (1996). A variational principle for the coupled diffusion problem is used to follow the cavity growth. The approximate solution can be reduced to the well-established equilibrium cavity growth model at the fast surface diffusion extreme. By comparing the 2 degree of freedom model with the full finite element solution by Pan et al, (1997), a 'Validity Map' is constructed in terms of the relative diffusivity and applied stress relative to the capillarity stress. It is found that the simplified model accurately describes the evolution process, in terms of overall cavity profile and propagation rate for engineering alloys subject to normal levels of applied stresses. The 2 degree of freedom model for a single cavity was then extended to allow the modelling of multiple cavities. These cavities can be either pre-existing or nucleated during the lifetime of the system. The relative rotation between the grains is also considered. The initial 2 degrees of freedom were increased to six, and a cavity element has been derived. The cavity elements are assembled together using the classical finite element approach. This allows the evolution of multiple cavities and their interactions to be modelled under different applied loads and material parameters. This simplified multiple cavity finite element model was compared with a model for cavity evolution based on a 'smeared-out' approach. It was shown that the 'smeared-out' model does not accurately predict the creep damage for realistic engineering materials and conditions and results in an under prediction of creep lifetime. Using the simplified finite element model the effect of surface diffusion on the evolution of the creep damage was investigated. The evolution of a large pre-existing 'crack-like' cavity was modelled and the effects of nucleation, surface diffusion and loading were also investigated. It was shown that in the majority of cases as the surface diffusion was increased the rupture time was also increased. The results from the large 'crack-like' cavity simulations showed that there was very little crack propagation through the material and the smaller cavities tended to grow independently of the large 'crack-like' cavity.

This thesis investigates the notion that the more complex the experimental plan, the less likely an engineer is to discover a simulation mistake in a computer-based experiment. The author used an in vitro methodology to conduct an experiment with 54 engineers completing a design task to find the optimal configuration for a device with seven two-level control factors. Participants worked individually using a prescribed design approach dependent upon the randomly assigned experimental condition -- an adaptive one-factor-at-a-time plan for the control group or a resolution III fractional factorial plan for the treatment group -- with a flawed computer simulation of the device. A domain knowledge score was measured by quiz, and success or failure in discovering the flaw was measured by questioning during debriefing. About half (14 of 17) of the participants using the one-factor-at-a-time plan discovered the flaw, while nearly none (1 of 27) using the fractional factorial plan did so. Logistic regression analysis of the dichotomous outcome on treatment condition and domain knowledge score showed that flaw detection ability improved with increased domain knowledge, but that an advantage of two standard deviations in domain knowledge was insufficient to overcome the disadvantage of using the fractional factorial plan. Participant reactions to simulation results were judged by two independent raters for surprise as an indicator of expectation violation. Contingency analysis of the surprise rating results showed that participants using the fractional factorial plan were significantly less likely (risk ratio ~ 0.57) to appear surprised when the anomaly was elicited, but there was no difference in tendency to display surprise otherwise. The observed phenomenon has ramifications beyond simulation mistake detection. Cognitive psychologists have shown that the most effective way to learn a new concept is to observe unexpected behavior, investigate the cause, then integrate the new concept into one's mental model. If using a complex experimental plan hinders an engineer's ability to recognize anomalous data, the engineer risks losing opportunities to develop expertise. Initial screening and sensitivity analysis are recommended as countermeasures when using complex experiments, but more study is needed for verification.

This thesis describes work carried out to improve the fundamental modelling of liquid flows on distillation trays. A mathematical model is presented based on the principles of computerised fluid dynamics. It models the liquid flow in the horizontal directions allowing for the effects of the vapour through the use of an increased liquid turbulence, modelled by an eddy viscosity, and a resistance to liquid flow caused by the vapour being accelerated horizontally by the liquid. The resultant equations are similar to the Navier-Stokes equations with the addition of a resistance term. A mass-transfer model is used to calculate liquid concentration profiles and tray efficiencies. A heat and mass transfer analogy is used to compare theoretical concentration profiles to experimental water-cooling data obtained from a 2.44 metre diameter air-water distillation simulation rig. The ratios of air to water flow rates are varied in order to simulate three pressures: vacuum, atmospheric pressure and moderate pressure. For simulated atmospheric and moderate pressure distillation, the fluid mechanical model constantly over-predicts tray efficiencies with an accuracy of between +1.7% and +11.3%. This compares to -1.8% to -10.9% for the stagnant regions model (Porter et al. 1972) and +12.8% to +34.7% for the plug flow plus back-mixing model (Gerster et al. 1958). The model fails to predict the flow patterns and tray efficiencies for vacuum simulation due to the change in the mechanism of liquid transport, from a liquid continuous layer to a spray as the liquid flow-rate is reduced. This spray is not taken into account in the development of the fluid mechanical model.

As graphics and simulations become more realistic, techniques for approximating soft body objects, that is, non-solid objects such as liquids, gases, and cloth, are becoming increasingly common. The proposed generalized soft body method encompasses some specific cases of other existing models enabling simulation of a variety of soft body materials by parameter adjustment. This research presents a general method of soft body model and simulation in which parameters for body control, surface deformation, volume control, and gravitation, can be adjusted to simulate different types of soft bodies. In this method, the soft body mesh structure maintains configuration among surface points while fluid modeling deforms the details of the surface. To maintain volume, an internal pressure is approximated by simulated molecules within the soft body. Free fall motion of soft body is generated by gravitational field. Additionally, a constraint is specified based on the property of the soft body being modeled. There are several standard methods to control soft body volume. This work illustrates the simplicity of simulation by selecting a mass-spring system for the deformation of the connected points of a three-dimensional mesh, while an internal pressure force acts upon the surface triangles. To incorporate fluidity, smooth particles hydrodynamics (SPH) is applied where surface points are considered as free moving particles interacting with neighboring surface points within a SPH radius. Because SPH is computationally expensive, it requires an efficient method to determine neighboring surface points. Collision detection with soft bodies and other rigid body objects also requires such fast neighbor detection. To determine the neighboring surface point, Axis Aligned Bounding Box (AABB), Octree, and a partitioning and hashing schemes have been investigated and the result shows that the partitioning and hashing scheme provides the best frame rate.; Thus a fast partitioning and hashing scheme is used in this research to reduce both computational time and the memory requirements. The proposed soft body model aims to be applied in several types of soft body application depending on the specific types of soft body deformation. The work presented in this dissertation details experiments with a variety of visually appealing fluid-like surfaces and organic materials animated at interactive speeds. The algorithm is also used to implement animated space-blob creatures in the Galactic Arms Race video game and a human lung simulation, demonstrating the effectiveness of the algorithm in both an actual video game engine and a medical application. The simulation results show that the general model of the soft body can be applied to several applications by adjusting the soft body parameters according to the appearance results.

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.5px Garamond} This paper presents an approach for modelling a commercial dinitrotoluene (DNT) production process using the CHEMCAD simulation software. A validation of the model was performed based on results of an experimental study carried out at Chematur Engineering AB, Sweden. Important parameters such as fluid properties, temperature profile and other operating conditions for CHEMCAD steady state model were selected so as to obtain the crude DNT yield as well as the acid –and organic phase compositions within the same range as the reference values from the experimental study. The results showed that the assumption of the steady state model was correct, and that acid –and organic phase compositions were in good agreement, although with a slightly lower sulphuric acid concentration than that observed in the experimental study. Also, a detailed study was carried out to analyse the effects of physicochemical conditions on the desired product yield. Both the results from the experimental study and the simulated model agree that the effects of mixed acids or heats of mixing acids contribute significantly to the energy balance. For the appropriateness of the thermodynamics, a NRTL model was chosen and the reactor system was optimized by an equilibrium based approach, producing MNT in 99.8% yield and crude DNT in 99.9% yield. An 80.1/19.9 DNT isomer ratio of the main isomers was achieved and a reduction of by-products in the crude DNT shows a good agreement between the model and the experimental study.
p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.5px Garamond} I denna rapport presenteras en metod för att modellera en kommersiell nitreringsprocess för tillverkning av dinitrotoluen (DNT) med simuleringsprogrammet CHEMCAD. En validering av modellen gjordes baserat på resultat från en experimentell studie utförd hos Chimärer Engineering AB, Sverige. CHEMCAD-modellen utgår från ”steady-state” drift av anläggningen. Viktiga parametrar såsom fluidegenskaper, temperaturprofil och andra driftsbetingelser i CHEMCAD-modellen valdes för att erhålla ett utbyte av DNT samt sammansättningar av såväl syrafas som organisk fas i god överensstämmelse med referensvärdena från den experimentella studien. Resultaten visade att antagandena i modellen var korrekta och sammansättningarna för syrafasen och den organiska fasen överensstämde med data från den experimentella studien. Det genomfördes också en detaljerad studie för att analysera effekterna av fysikalisk-kemiska betingelser på det önskade produktutbytet. Både resultaten från den experimentella studien och data från anläggning i drift överensstämde med den simulerade modellen avseende utspädningsvärmens bidrag till energibalansen. För att erhålla en lämplig beskrivning av reaktionssystemets termodynamik valdes en NRTL-modell och reaktorsystemet optimerades, vilket gav 99,8 % utbyte av MNT och 99,9 % DNT utbyte. Ett förhållande på 80,1 / 19,9 mellan de två huvudisomererna av DNT uppnåddes och en minskning av biprodukter i DNT produktblandningen. Detta är två exempel på en bra överensstämmelse mellan modellen och experimentstudien.

Traffic simulation is an important tool for modelling the operations of dynamic traffic systems and helps analyse the causes and potential solutions of traffic problems such as congestion and traffic safety. Microscopic simulation models provide a detailed representation of the traffic process, which makes them most suitable for evaluation of complicated traffic facilities and Intelligent Transportation Systems that often consist of complex traffic management, safety and information systems. Macroscopic and mesoscopic models on the other hand, capture traffic dynamics in lesser detail, but are faster and easier to apply and calibrate than microscopic models. Therefore they are most suitable for modelling large networks, while microscopic models are usually applied to smaller areas. The objective of this thesis is to combine the strengths of both modelling approaches and diminish their individual weaknesses by constructing a hybrid mesoscopic-microscopic model that applies microscopic simulation to areas of specific interest, while simulating a surrounding network in lesser detail with a mesoscopic model. Earlier attempts at hybrid modelling have concentrated on integrating macroscopic and microscopic models and have proved difficult due to the large difference between the continuous-flow representation of traffic in macroscopic models and the detailed vehicle-and driver-behaviour represented in microscopic models. These problems are solved in this thesis by developing a mesoscopic vehicle-based and event-based model that avoids the (dis)aggregation problems of traffic flows at the inter-model boundaries. In addition, this thesis focuses on the general problems of consistency across the entire hybrid model. The requirements are identified that are important for a hybrid model to be consistent across the models at different levels of detail. These requirements vary from network and route-choice consistency to consistency of traffic dynamics across the boundaries of the micro- and mesoscopic submodels. An integration framework is proposed that satisfies these requirements. This integration framework has been implemented in a prototype hybrid model, MiMe, which is used to demonstrate the correctness of the solutions to the various integration issues. The hybrid model integrates MITSIMLab, a microscopic traffic simulation model, and Mezzo, the newly developed mesoscopic model. Both the hybrid model and the new Mezzo model are applied in a number of case studies, including a network in the North of Stockholm, which show their validity and applicability. The results are promising and support both the proposed integration architecture and the importance of integrating microscopic and mesoscopic models.

The tongue is an intricately configured muscular organ that undergoes a stereotypical set of deformations during the course of normal human swallowing. The tongue's myoarchitecture consists of a large array of variably aligned and extensively interwoven intrinsic and extrinsic muscles. To elucidate the explicit relationship between 3D aligned lingual fiber organization and mechanics during physiological deformations, we performed finite element modeling (FEM) employing a mesh generated from mesoscale multi-voxel fiber like tracts obtained in vivo by high resolution diffusion tensor imaging with tractography. DTI tractography displayed the complete fiber anatomy of the tongue, consisting of a core region of orthogonally aligned fibers encased within a longitudinal sheath, which merge with the externally connected styloglossus, hyoglossus, and genioglossus fibers.

Integrated silicon photonics is an exciting emerging technology, utilizing the high bandwidth and high timing resolution that optics provides in many applications. To maximize the benefits of these optical-electrical systems, tight integration of the electronic and photonic components are necessary. In light of this need, we've developed a Cadence toolkit library written in VerilogA that simulates both the amplitude and phase of optical signals, as well as optical-electrical interactions. The runtime is greatly improved by simulating the optical signal relative to a reference frequency, which is chosen to be close to the frequency range of interest. We have identified a set of fundamental photonic components, and described each at the physical level, such that the characteristics of a composite device will be created organically. We show that the simulated results match analytic solutions for simple devices like resonant ring filters and more complicated devices like single sideband modulators. Adding to this toolkit library, we then discuss devices that are required for handling more special cases, such as chromatic dispersion in the waveguide, and non-ideal optoelectronic devices. Finally, we demonstrate simulations of complicated systems such as WDM links and Pound-Drever-Hall loops. This will allow designers to unify our photonic device designing and modeling environment with circuit and system level design, giving us greater insight on the trade-offs that take place between the two realms.

In the last several years, parallel computing on multicore processors has transformed from a niche discipline relegated primarily to scientific computing into a standard component of highperformance personal computers. At the same time, simulating processors prior to manufacture has become increasingly time-consuming due to the increasing number of gates on a single chip. However, writing parallel programs in a way that significantly improves performance can be a difficult task. In this thesis, I outline principles that must be considered when running good gate-level circuit simulations in parallel. I also analyze a test circuit's performance in order to quantitatively demonstrate the benefit of considering these principles in advance of running simulations.

Nanocrystalline nickel-tungsten alloys are harder, stronger, more resistant to degradation, and safer to electrodeposit than chromium. Atomistic computer simulations have previously met with success in replicating the energetic and atomic conditions of physical systems with 2-4nm grain diameters. Here, a new model subjects a vertically thin unique volume containing 3nm or 10nm FCC grains with aligned z axes to a Monte Carlo-type minimization to investigate the segregation and ordering behavior of W atoms. Short-range order is also tracked with the Warren-Cowley parameter, and energetic results are explored as well. It was found that the Ni-W system has a very strong tendency toward SRO. The 10nm models exhibited more robust order at low concentrations, but ordering in the 3nm model was generally more pronounced. At the dilute limit atoms are driven to the grain boundaries, but as the boundaries are saturated intragranular ordered formations increase and may even perpetuate over low-angle grain boundaries. Ordering was also observed within the grain boundaries at all concentrations for both diameters. The 10nm models were saturated at lower concentration, and grain boundary energy was reduced by up to 93%. W atoms preferred to associate with each other as third-nearest neighbors, but at very high concentrations formations with W atoms as second nearest neighbors were also observed.

Due to more stringent regulations for secondary municipal wastewater treatment, municipalities are beginning to implement tertiary treatment in their wastewater treatment plants. Tertiary treatment would be the removal of either phosphorous or nitrogen or both from the wastewater before it is discarded from the plant. Biological treatment is becoming an increasingly popular process used to accomplish this extra removal. There are several processes available that will provide acceptable levels of biological nutrient and BOD removal from wastewater. Three well-known processes were considered in this study - the Modified Bardenpho Process, the Modified UCT Process and the A2/O Process. For each of these processes, 2 1evel fractional factorial designs along with least squares analysis were performed in order to determine the optimal operating variables (recycle rates and anaerobic, anoxic and aerobic zone retention times), with respect to the final nitrogen concentration, the final phosphorous concentration and a combination of the final nitrogen and phosphorous concentrations. The analyses were performed at 10°C and 20°C with low, medium and high primary effluent concentrations. Due to the complexity of the processes, lab scale experiments were not feasible. Therefore, a widely accepted calibrated biokinetic model (Activated Sludge Model No 2d) was used in a computer simulation program (GPS-X) to gather the necessary data for analysis. Actual plant data were used to test the validity of the simulation model with respect to organic and nitrogen removal. Using the published kinetic and stoichiometric parameters for both temperature levels, the Activated Sludge Model provided a good estimation of outlet concentration levels. It was found that all three biological nutrient removal (BNR) process were capable of achieving an effluent soluble phosphorous concentration below the required limit of 1 mgP/L at 10 and 20°C with low, medium and high primary effluent concentration when the effluent nitrogen concentration was neglected. Neither the Modified Bardenpho, the Modified UCT nor the A 2/O process were capable of producing an effluent with nitrogen concentrations below the required limit of 5 mgN/L at high primary effluent concentrations. The Modified Bardenpho and the Modified UCT processes were both successful in achieving a combined nitrogen and phosphorous removal below their regulatory limits for low primary effluent concentrations at 10 and 20°C. The Modified Bardenpho process, at 20°C with medium primary effluent concentrations, was found to achieve an effluent with nitrogen and phosphorous concentrations below 5 mgN/L and 1 mgP/L, respectively. After analyzing the effects of individual operating variables, it was found that the anoxic recycle for the Modified UCT process had an insignificant effect on total nitrogen (TN) and soluble phosphorous (sP) removals and did not need to be included in future experimental studies. All of the input variables to the MB and A2/O process proved to be somewhat significant and it is recommended that they be kept within future experimental designs. From this study it was found that both the MB and MUCT process are capable of achieving the TN, sP and cBOD5 removals that ROPEC requires. However only the MB process proved to be a robust system when subjected to storm conditions (i.e., peaks in influent flow rate) with respect to sP and cBOD5 removal. Neither the MB nor the MUCT process provided acceptable TN removals when subjected to storm conditions. It is recommended that ROPEC further evaluate the MB process as a possible means to achieve simultaneous cBOD5, TN and sP removal.
