Efficient, Physiologically Realistic Lung Airflow Simulations

Correct, Efficient, and Realistic Wireless Network Simulations

To my mother and father who taught me perseverence. To my brother whose has always been there. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank my Ph. his constant support, guidance, and inspiration. Dr. Riley's advising has allowed me to explore many other avenues in computer engineering which may or may not have contributed to my thesis. However, its a tribute to his excellent t...

Augmenting Simulations of Airflow around Buildings

Computational fluid-dynamics (CFD) simulations have become an important tool for the 10 assessment of airflow in urban areas. However, large discrepancies may appear when simulated 11 predictions are compared with field measurements because of the complexity of airflow behaviour 12 around buildings and difficulties in defining correct sets of parameter values, including those for inlet 13 condi...

Numerical Simulations of Airflow in Telescope Enclosures

Contemporary design of large telescopes requires optimization of the telescope environment in order to fully realize the capabilities of advanced mirror technology, telescope control and instrumentation. Telescope enclosure design is a critical element in providing this optimized environment. Enclosures must protect the telescope while minimizing the local degradation of image quality, and the ...

Insights Gained from Realistic Simulations

This chapter discusses the insights gained from simulations using realistic propagation model. Speci cally the performance in terms of coverage and achievable bit rates, and topologies formed are dealt with. It is shown that the topologies formed in mesh networks pave way for development of new protocols. Speci cally, an e cient paging protocol for urban mesh network setting is developed that m...
