Computer simulation

Calculating intra-aneurysm flow uses optical flow with computational fluid dynamics simulation on the numerical analysis. This is a new method to better understand the intravascular flow and aneurysm flow as well as factors related to the inflow vortex and the inflow jet which increase the rupture risk in patients with an aneurysm.

This work is devoted to conducting a new study for global dynamics and numerical simulation of a discrete-time computer virus propagation model, which was constructed in our recent work. By utilizing well-known results on asymptotic stability of discrete-time dynamical systems, we establish the global asymptotic stability of a unique viral equilibrium point, whereas only its local asymptotic stability was previously analyzed.

In the paper, 3L-MPC algorithm with fast calculation is proposed to control many objectives such as unit power factor, capacitor voltage balance and switching frequency reduction. In addition, the outer PI controller is used to adjust the DC-bus voltage. The simulation results demonstrated the excellent performance of the proposed method, both in transient and steady states.

This purpose of this work was to investigate the patient radiation doses and image quality of a Philips/Agfa computed radiographic (CR) system and a Philips indirect-capture digital radiographic (DR) system in a paediatric setting. A CDRAD digital radiographic contrast-detail phantom was used to assess radiographic image quality. Perspex slabs of three different thicknesses (6, 11 and 16 cm) were used to simulate paediatric patients of three arbitrary ages.

Optimum Flight Trajectories for Terrain Collision AvoidanceThe objective of this research is to introduce a new methodology that computes optimal escape trajectories within a three dimensional digital terrain. It has been established that conducting a pull up manoeuvre may not always be the best option for a pilot to salvage the aircraft in the case of an imminent collision. To prove this further, several simulations were conducted which shows that performing a lateral turn can produce safer trajectories in comparison to a vertical pull up.

The main objective of this research is to optimize the design of the Tunnel kiln for efficient fuel usage. To achieve that, the temperature distribution from the simulation needs be matched with the desired Tunnel kiln curve found in industry. This objective can be achieved by CFD simulation where temperature, velocity and emission distributions inside the Tunnel kiln can be obtained. Generated temperature distribution can be matched with the industrial curve and by interpreting the curve, efficient design can be suggested.

This thesis proposes and implements a new and novel solution on simulators and real devices to solve the mobility problem in a VPN. The new solution adds mobility support to existing L2TP/IPsec (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol/IP Security) tunnels. The new solution tunnels Layer 2 packets between VPN clients and a VPN server without using Mobile IP, without incurring tunnel-re-establishment at handoff, without losing packets during handoff, achieves better security than current mobility solutions for VPN, and supports fast handoff in IPv4 networks.

The thesis is structured as follows: In Chapter 1, the scientific literature is summarized within the scope of this study. Chapter 2 provides a comprehensive overview of the principles of the applied computational approaches in this study. Chapter 3 identifies the important residues of the LsIA/α7 nAChR complex that affect the interactions between the toxin and the membrane protein due to C-terminal carboxylation of LsIA. The effects of C-terminal modification of LsIA on interactions with α3β2 nAChR, involved in cardiovascular diseases, were also investigated in Chapter 4.

The current research is undertaken by performing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations for a 2D aerofoil fitted with a shock control bump at a transonic flow condition. Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equation coupled with turbulence models is adopted to solve the flowfield. The bump has a conventional geometric feature which consists of a ramp, a crest and a tail, and it has eight variants for which the designed parameters are reasonably specified according to the compressible aerodynamics theory.

: Fluid vents in the Sea of Marmara were discovered and investigated by several studies. In this paper, a numerical model is created for the first time to determine the possible transport mechanism behind those fluid emissions at the seafloor. The finite volume method is used for numerical simulations by implementing a commercial finite volume code, ANSYS-Fluent. The thermal and physical rock properties used in our models are taken from previous studies.

Software-defined networking (SDN) represents a new structure of computer network that simplifies and improves network management by splitting the control plane and data plane. Since SDN is regarded as a new research issue, the application of SDN in practice faces some barriers. Most network devices such as routers and switches that implement SDN functionalities are expensive. An alternative solution in SDN research and experiments is to use network emulators. By using Mininet, an open source network emulator, this study simulates SDN implementations in different environments.
