the developing turbulent flow in an open channel is a complex three-dimensional flow influenced by the secondary currents and free surface effects and is, therefore, not amenable to analytical solution. this paper aims to study the impact of three key hydraulic parameters (relative roughness, the froude number and the reynolds number) on the establishment length using computational fluid dynami...

In this paper we consider the optimal structure of double bracket flows and generalisations of these flows to more complex gradient flows. We discuss different notions of optimality and the relationship of the flows to the structure of convex polytopes.

We examine the impact of cross-border bank flows on recipient countries’ systemic risk. Using data on bank flows from 26 source countries to 119 recipient countries, we find that bank flows are associated with improved financial stability (i.e. lower systemic risk) in the recipient country. The impact of bank flows is stronger in recipient countries with weak regulatory quality and fragile bank...

To avoid a congestion collapse, network flows should adjust their sending rates. Adaptive flows adjust the rate, while unresponsive flows do not respond to congestion and keep sending packets. Unresponsive flows waste resources by taking their share of the upstream links of a domain and dropping packets later when the downstream links are congested. We use network tomography—an edge-to-edge mec...

In order to provide high quality network management, traffic scheduling and network security, we need the per flow traffic information. However, in a highspeed net link, the flows number is so large that it is infeasible to gather and process all flows’ information accurately and efficiently. Several studies showed that a small percentage of flows account for most of the total network throughpu...

It is well-known that each nonnegative integral flow of a directed graph can be decomposed into a sum of nonnegative graph circuit flows, which cannot be further decomposed into nonnegative integral sub-flows. This is equivalent to saying that indecomposable flows of graphs are those graph circuit flows. Turning from graphs to signed graphs, the indecomposable flows are much richer than that of...

We study different renormalization group flows for scale-dependent effective actions, including exact and proper-time renormalization group flows. These flows have a simple one-loop structure. They differ in their dependence on the full field-dependent propagator, which is linear for exact flows. We investigate the inherent approximations of flows with a nonlinear dependence on the propagator. ...

We propose a new quantile regression framework to predict the entire future probability distribution of capital flows emerging markets, based on changes in global financial conditions, domestic structural characteristics, and policies. The approach allows us differentiate between impact median versus tails predicted density flows, short- medium-term effects. find that FX- macroprudential interv...

Aggregation of data flows has two major advantages. One is the reduction of state complexity within the network, the other is the saving of resources by statistical multiplexing between the aggregated flows. In this paper, we show a simple, yet effective scheme to aggregate real-time flows which require a statistical guarantee on experienced loss and a deterministic guarantee on the maximum del...
