| | Flow control (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) |
 | | The reason for this is that the flow sensitivities are very large at surfaces of discontinuity of the flow, and thus those discontinuities dominate the early part of the iteration. |
 | | The flow sensitivity equations are derived by differentiating the flow equations with respect to a parameter. |
 | | Flow control and optimization is an ancient practice o man. For example, any dam, sluice, canal, levee, irrigation ditch, valve, duct, pipe, pump, hose, vane, etc., is an exercise in flow control or optimization, i.e., an attempt to control the mechanical and/or thermodynamical state of a fluid in order to achieve a desired purpose. |
