1. Transient Dynamics of the Fluid Model We discuss the transient dynamics of the fluid model, thus elaborating on Conjecture 1 of the main paper. We assume we are given transient routing flow rates for the model and specify dynamics in terms of these flow rates. This section closely follows the discussion of transient dynamics of the single-class single-pool fluid model given in Whitt (2006). ...

Pulsatile blood flow in an aorta of normal subject is studied by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The main intention of this study is to determine the influence of the non-Newtonian nature of blood on a pulsatile flow through an aorta. The usual Newtonian model of blood viscosity and a nonNewtonian blood model are used to study the velocity distributions, wall pressure and wall s...

This paper is concerned with transient dynamics and stability of an electric power system with dc transmission. Nowadays dc transmission systems are widely applied to conventional electric power systems. However, transient dynamics of ac/dc power systems, affected by active power which flows into dc transmissions, is not entirely understood. In this paper an unsymmetrical swing equation system ...

Cerebral blood flow responses to transient blood pressure challenges are frequently attributed to cerebral autoregulation (CA), yet accumulating evidence indicates vascular properties like compliance are also influential. We hypothesized that middle cerebral blood velocity (MCAv) dynamics during or following a transient blood pressure perturbation can be accurately explained by the windkessel m...

Synchronization is the process of achieving identical dynamics among coupled identical units. If the units are different from each other, their dynamics cannot become identical; yet, after transients, there may emerge a functional relationship between them-a phenomenon termed "generalized synchronization." Here, we show that the concept of transient uncoupling, recently introduced for synchroni...

Divergence in antigen response of the immune network is discussed, based on shape-space modelling. The present model extends the shapespace model by introducing the evolution of specificity of idiotypes. When the amount of external antigen increases, stability of the immune network changes and the network responds to the antigen. It is shown that specific and non-specific responses emerge as a ...

Potted electronics are becoming quite common in precision artillery applications due to demands for increased structural-robustness of these miniaturized smart-munitions. In field artillery applications, the potted electronics are inactive for most of their lifetime where they may have been stored in a bunker without environmental (temperature and humidity) controls for up to 20 years. In contr...

Lateral nozzle forces are known to cause severe structural damage to any new rocket engine in development during test. While three-dimensional, transient, turbulent, chemically reacting computational fluid dynamics methodology has been demonstrated to capture major side load physics with rigid nozzles, hot-fire tests often show nozzle structure deformation during major side load events, leading...

Transient chaos is a common phenomenon in nonlinear dynamics of many physical, biological, and engineering systems. In applications it is often desirable to maintain sustained chaos even in parameter regimes of transient chaos. We address how to sustain transient chaos in deterministic flows. We utilize a simple and practical method, based on extracting the fundamental dynamics from time series...
