1999: Three Sources of Simulation Inaccuracy (and How to Overcome Them)

نویسنده

  • Stewart Robinson
چکیده

There is much interest in how to ensure that the results obtained from a simulation model are accurate. This paper considers this from the perspective of three main sources of inaccuracy: the modelling, the data and the experimentation. For each of these sources the causes of inaccuracy are discussed and some advice is given on how to overcome them. An illustrative model is used to quantify some of the effects of inaccuracies in the data and the experimentation.

Computer Simulation of Equidxed Eutectic Solidifiction of Metals

In the present work, the solidification process was simulated in both macroscopic and microscopic scales. Two-dimensional heat transfer equation for conduction was applied for macroscopic modeling using enthalpy formulation and finite element method. In order to decrease execution time and/or memory capacity in finite analysis, skyline mathematical technique was adapted. The microenthalpy metho...

Analysis of uncertainties in water systems using neural networks

There are two main sources of uncertainty and errors in water distribution system simulations. The first one is associated with the modelling of physical elements and represents static (or slowly changing) inaccuracy of the network model. The second source of uncertainty has a dynamic nature and represents inaccurate predictions of consumptions and measurement noise. While, for instance, the pi...
