The accurate measurement of pediatric cardiac output by thermodilution requires that the quantity of cold indicator introduced into the central circulation be known. This study defines an important source of error in the correction factor for the amount of heat gained by small volumes of cold injectate during passage through pediatric catheter systems. This error may result in significant overe...

Understanding of wave hydrodynamics and its effects are important for engineers and scientists. Important insights may be gained from laboratory studies.  Often the waves are simulated in laboratory flumes do not have the full characteristics of real sea waves. It is then necessary to present reliable methods of wave generation in wave flumes.  In this paper, the results of numerically simulate...
