Hybrid testing, which couples physical experiments and computer simulations bidirectionally and in real-time, is a promising experimental technique in engineering. One fundamental problem of this technique are delays in the coupling between simulation and experiment. We discuss this issue for a simple prototype hybrid system: a pendulum that is vertically excited by coupling it to a simulated l...

This paper present a general method coupling genetic algorithms and Monte-Carlo simulation to address simulation optimization issues in the field of engineering asset management. After a description of the method, parameters tuning issues are analyzed through a test-case.

In this study, simulation of low salinity polymer flooding in the core scale is investigated using Eclipse-100 simulator. For this purpose, two sets of data are used. The first set of data were adopted from the results of experimental studies conducted at the University of Bergen, performed using Berea sandstone and intermediate oil. The second data set, related to sand pack and heavy oil syste...
