Model Performance Evaluation of CACTUS
نویسندگان
چکیده
CACTUS is a hydrokinetic turbine performance code under development at Sandia National Laboratories (SNL). Details on it capabilities are given in [1]. CACTUS simulates arbitrary geometries, including crossflow and axial flow rotors. SNL added new capabilities to CACTUS and an outreach effort was begun to solicit interest among MHK researchers and developers who want to consider CACTUS for hydrokinetic turbine design and analysis. As part of this outreach campaign SNL developed a User’s Manual and evaluated the performance of the CACTUS code using measured performance curves from three different MHK experiments detailed below.

Nutritional Value of BRS Capiaçu Grass (Pennisetum purpureum) Silage Associated with Cactus Pear
The objective of this study was to evaluate the best level of inclusion of cactus pear in the ensiling of elephant grass Brazil seeds (BRS) capiaçu (Pennisetum purpureum), its effects on fermentative characteristics; and nutritional value. Experimental treatments consisted of BRS capiaçu grass silage with five levels of inclusion of cactus pear (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% inclusion as fresh ...
متن کاملImplementation of a Binary Tree Driver (OAKc) in Cactus
Cactus Code is an open source framework designed primarily for scientists and engineers, in which the core or “flesh” acts as a central unit to which external modules or “thorns” can interface. Cactus is used on many different architectures and can be used to implement different codes from various disciplines. While initially developed for solving problems in numerical relativity, it has since ...
متن کاملCactus Environment Machine Shared Environment Call-by-Need
Existing machines for lazy evaluation use a flat representation of environments, storing the terms associated with free variables in an array. Combined with a heap, this structure supports the shared intermediate results required by lazy evaluation. We propose and describe an alternative approach that uses a shared environment to minimize the overhead of delayed computations. We show how a shar...

متن کاملEvaluation of Unit's Performance in Presence of Subunits by Using GDEA
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a technique that uses all collected observations to measure performance. This method presents no data about how to operate on DMU. The present research attempted to study a unit with all its subunits, if the unit is efficient, it means that all its subunits are efficient too and if it is an inefficient, it shows clearly that which one of the subunits makes ine...
