DOLFIN: Automated finite element computing
(ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software, 2010)
We describe here a library aimed at automating the solution of partial differential equations using the finite element method. By employing novel techniques for automated code generation, the library combines a high level ...
Testing for changing persistence in US treasury on/off spreads under weighted-symmetric estimation
(CFAP, Cambridge Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, 2010)
We extend the recursive break test procedure of Leybourn et al. by using weighted-symmetric estimation to detect a single change in time series persistence. An application to U.S. Treasury bond on/off spreads finds a ...
Tracking and modelling motion for biomechanical analysis
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringHughes Hall, 2010-11-16)
This thesis focuses on the problem of determining appropriate skeletal configurations for which a virtual animated character moves to desired positions as smoothly, rapidly, and as accurately as possible. During the last ...
Second-generation high-temperature superconducting coils and their applications for energy storage
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2010-11-16)
Since a superconductor has no resistance below a certain temperature and can therefore save a large amount of energy dissipated, it is a 'green' material by saving energy loss and hence reducing carbon emissions. Recently ...
A Lattice Boltzmann model for diffusion of binary gas mixtures
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2010-10-12)
This thesis describes the development of a Lattice Boltzmann (LB) model for a binary gas mixture. Specifically, channel flow driven by a density gradient with diffusion slip occurring at the wall is studied in depth.
The ...
Pedestrian localisation for indoor environments
(University of CambridgeFaculty of Computer Science and Technology, 2010-11-16)
Ubiquitous computing systems aim to assist us as we go about our daily lives, whilst at the same time fading into the background so that we do not notice their presence. To do this they need to be able to sense their ...
Water quality modeling for the Kennet and Avon Canal, a navigational canal in an inland catchment
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringSt. Catharine's College, 2010-10-12)
The Kennet and Avon Canal in southern England is experiencing severe water quality problems caused by inorganic sediment and algae. These water quality problems are affecting the angling sport of fishermen downstream of ...
Syngas production from heavy liquid fuel reforming in inert porous media
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2010-11-16)
In the effort to introduce fuel cell technology in the field of decentralized and mobile power generators, a hydrocarbon reformer to syngas seems to be the way for the market uptake. In this thesis, a potential technology ...
Ground vibration from underground railways: how simplifying assumptions limit prediction accuracy
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringChurchill College, 2010-10-23)
Noise and vibration from underground railways is a documented disturbance to individuals living or working near subways. Much work has been done to understand and simulate the dynamic interactions between the train, track, ...
Cambridge Stratified Slot Burner Data
