  • Development of a posture prediction model

    Creator:
    Dendamrongvit, Thidarat
    Abstract:
    Biomechanical models have been used in designing human work environments to evaluate potential risks to workers before a work environment is constructed. In order for work environments to be modeled correctly, most biomechanical models require as input, an accurate body posture of the worker. This information can be obtained by,...

  • Modified limiting dilution analysis : a mathematical model with biological interpretation

    Creator:
    Maier, Stefan H.
    Abstract:
    A mathematical model of Limiting Dilution Analysis for two limiting parameters is presented and investigated. Limiting Dilution Analysis is a microbiological cell assay developed for immunological application. In the given case we deal with the interaction between B lymphocytes, macrophage derived factor and T-independent antigens. The state of the art...

  • Advanced numerical modeling of the Lorentz mixing process

    Creator:
    Hager, Michael B.
    Abstract:
    There are numerous techniques for improving the mixing of fuel and oxidant species. However, many of these methods cannot be applied to combustion systems due to material limitations. A means of mixing the reacting species without physically invading the flow stream is therefore desired. In this work, induced electromagnetic forces...

  • A "mildly inconsistent" method for accelerating upstream corner balance transport

    Creator:
    Gulick, John C.
    Abstract:
    A new method for accelerating the Upstream Corner Balance (UCB) discretization of the equation of transfer is introduced. The inconsistent acceleration equations for the UCB discretization are derived by applying the "Modified 4-Step" diffusion synthetic acceleration technique not to the UCB discretization, but instead to the simple corner balance (SCB)...

  • Tracer experiments in a non-uniform porous medium : implications of diffusive mass transfer on the late-time breakthrough behavior

    Creator:
    Freiherr von Schwerin, Claudius
    Abstract:
    Mass transfer processes were evaluated in an artificial, non-uniform porous medium with a power law distribution of diffusion rate coefficients obtained from physical characterization of solute and porous medium. Breakthrough curves of several pulse experiments conducted at different velocities were compared (1) to analytical expressions for concentrations at mass transfer...

  • Bridge Model Parameter Sensitivity in Pushover and Nonlinear Time History Analysis

    Creator:
    Johnsohn, Karryn E.
    Abstract:
    The aim of this research is to understand and quantify the modeling differences between CSiBridge and OpenSees, and to determine sensitive model parameters. When designing bridges for the high seismic region of California, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) performs nonlinear time history analysis of their bridge models. For three-dimensional...

  • Numerical modeling of biofilms

    Creator:
    Mendoza, Adriana
    Abstract:
    We present a new mathematical model for the development of biofilm that extends the nonlinear density-dependent continuum model introduced by Eberl et al. in 2001. It is a coupled nonlinear density-dependent diffusion-reaction model for biomass spreading, describing the interaction of nutrient availability and biomass production. The model by Eberl has...

  • A numerical study of viscous, incompressible fluid flow problems

    Creator:
    Terry, Michael D.
    Abstract:
    The mathematical technique of overrelaxation is used here to speed the convergence of a numerical method for solving viscous, incompressible fluid flow problems. The method, called MAC, involves approximating the complete two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with analogous finite-difference equations. The MAC method was developed by the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory...
