Technol. and Eng., University of Ottawa, 800 King Edward Ave., Ottawa, Ont. K1N 6N5, Canadaemail: frezaei@site.uottawa.ca, 2004)
This paper is concerned with fully observable nonlinear stochastically controlled diffusions, in which uncertainty is described by a relative entropy constraint between the nominal measure and the uncertain measure, while ...

This paper is concerned with nonlinear stochastic uncertain relaxed controlled difussions, in which the pay-off is described by the relative entropy between the nominal measure and the uncertain measure, when the uncertain ...
CFD modeling of turbulent flow and particle deposition in human lungs
(Affiliation: UCY-CompSci Computational Sciences Laboratory, Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, Nicosia, CyprusCorrespondence Address: Radhakrishnan, H.UCY-CompSci Computational Sciences Laboratory, Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprusemail: hariradh@ucy.ac.cy, 2009)
Understanding transport and deposition of inhaled particles in the human airways plays a crucial role in the targeted therapy of pulmonary diseases, and the administration of inhaled medicines. Numerous researchers have ...
Surface and interface study of pulsed-laser-deposited off-stoichiometric NiMnSb thin films on a Si(100) substrate
(2006)
We report a detailed study of surface and interface properties of pulsed-laser-deposited NiMnSb films on a Si(100) substrate as a function of film thickness. As the thickness of films is reduced below 35 nm, formation of ...
Structure and scales in turbulence modeling
(2002)
The enstrophy of the large-scale energy-containing turbulence is proposed as the second turbulence scale for use, in conjunction with the turbulence energy, in two-scale one-point engineering turbulence models. Its transport ...
Systematic assessment of rigid internal combustion engine dynamic coupling
(2008)
Accurate estimation of engine vibrations is essential in the design of new engines, engine mounts, and the vehicle frames to which they are attached. Mount force prediction has traditionally been simplified by assuming ...
Extension and application of an algorithm for systematic identification of weak coupling and partitions in dynamic system models
(2009)
This paper reviews and extends a technique to detect weak coupling (one-way coupling or complete decoupling) among elements of a dynamic system model, and to partition and reduce models in which weak coupling is found. The ...
Systematic model decoupling through assessment of power-conserving constraints - An engine dynamics case study
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2004)
Simplified models for predicting engine mount forces have traditionally been developed based on the assumption that for a well-balanced low-speed engine, the reciprocating dynamics can be decoupled from the three-dimensional ...
