Scaling Analysis for the Direct Reactor Auxiliary Cooling System for AHTRs
… the prototypic DRACS design is the detailed scaling analysis for the DRACS, which will provide guidance for the design of scaled-down DRACS test facilities. Based on the Boussinesq assumption and one-dimensional formulation, the governing equations, i.e., the continuity, integral momentum, …

Illustrating the prototype structures of parts of speech: A multidimensional scaling analysis
… coded for and illustrated in a multidimensional scaling analysis. The insight of the spatial model is twofold: First, it illustrates the true prototype structures of parts of speech in which many concepts cluster at the prototypes and a few end up on the peripheries. Even more, it reveals the …

Metabolic Scaling Analysis of Building Energy Efficiency: A Case Study of Massachusetts Institute of Technology
… This research applies ecological metabolic scaling principles to building energy analysis, utilizing the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) campus as a case study. Analogous to biological systems, where an animal’s metabolic rate scales to 3/4 power of its mass, our findings …

Investigation of Scaling Effects for a Synthetic Jet Actuator Using High and Low Fidelity Analyses
<p>This research presents an investigation on the scaling effects for synthetic jet actuators using Ansys-CFX and a Lumped Element Model (LEM). Synthetic jets or zero net mass-flux devices use a vibrating diaphragm to generate an oscillatory flow through a small orifice. A synthetic jet actuator …

An entropic approach to the analysis of time series.
Statistical analysis of time series. With compelling arguments we show that the Diffusion Entropy Analysis (DEA) is the only method of the literature of the Science of Complexity that correctly determines the scaling hidden within a time series reflecting a Complex Process. The time series is …

Superconductor-insulator transition induced by electrostatic charging in high temperature superconductors.
… as the dielectric. Employing a finite size scaling analysis, curves of resistance versus temperature, R(T), over the temperature range from 6 K to 22 K were found to collapse onto a single function, which suggests the presence of a quantum critical point. However the scaling failed at the …

Continuous reservoir modeling updating by integrating experimental data using an ensemble Kalman Filter
… them. To better understand the problem, scaling analysis is done on the capillary transition zone. Two new dimensionless numbers are introduced-capillary time and capillary length. We found that for different models, if their capillary time and gravity number are equal, the capillary …

Monte Carlo Simulations of the Electrodeposition of Copper From a Sulfate Solution in the Presence of Additives
… in three ways, qualitative visual comparisons, scaling analysis of the interface width and current time curves. Parametric studies were performed to make observations about the modeled copper system. A hypothetical blocking additive was introduced into the model to see its effects on the …

Impacts of double-diffusive processes on the thermohaline circulation
… by single-hemisphere numerical models and scaling analysis. Scaling analysis on the thermohaline circulation has been done under three types of surface boundary conditions. (a) Under "relaxation" conditions, there is a two-thirds power law dependence of the meridional overturning rate (and …

History Induced Critical Scaling in Disordered Media and Super Diffusive Growth in Highly Advective Random Environments
… loop behavior of the RFIM. A numerical scaling analysis of the AC demagnetization curve of the RFIM is performed, examining the effect of the underlying disorder on avalanche size distributions, correlation functions, and spanning avalanches. Furthermore, a similar scaling analysis for …

A Theory for Wheezing in Lungs
… laws, come about. This has enabled a scaling analysis to be applied to the self-excited oscillations of flexible tubes, showing for the first time that bending energy is dominated by strain energy. We made novel use of multiple camera reconstruction to validate this scaling analysis by …

In-situ study of the influence of additives on the growth behavior of copper electrodeposits on copper single crystal
… analyzed by pattern-recognition and scaling procedures.</p><p>In the absence of additives, copper deposits grew in a layer-by-layer mode from the earliest stage of deposition. The surface consisted of smooth terraces separated by steps. The scaling analysis result was consistent with …

Nonequilibrium Relaxation and Aging Scaling Properties of the Coulomb Glass and Bose Glass
… and filling fraction. By studying two scaling methods, we find that the nonequilibrium relaxation properties can be described sufficiently by a full-aging scaling analysis. The scaling exponents depend on both temperature and filling fraction, and are thus non-universal. We look at the …

Resin percolation and intimate contact in fast processing of thermoplastic composites
… study showed through cross-sectional imaging and scaling analysis that percolation flow, rather than squeeze flow, of resin through fibers is the dominant mechanism to achieve intimate contact in rapid TPC processes such as automated fiber placement (AFP) and welding. A 1D intimate contact model …

SuperTaco : Taco Tensor Algebra kernels on distributed systems using Legion
… tool called SuperTaco. We perform a strong scaling analysis for the SpMV and TTM kernels under a row blocking distribution schedule, and find speedups of 9-10x when using 20 cores on a single node. For multi-node systems using 20 cores per node, SpMV achieves a 33.3x speedup at 160 cores and …
