A major part of this network will consist of interconnected pipes. This network creates a special class of problems in hydraulic design, with solution methods typically referred to as pipe network analysis. Water utilities generally make use of specialized software to automatically solve these problems.
"Embarrassingly" is used here to refer to parallelization problems which are "embarrassingly easy". [4] The term may imply embarrassment on the part of developers or compilers: "Because so many important problems remain unsolved mainly due to their intrinsic computational complexity, it would be embarrassing not to develop parallel implementations of polynomial homotopy continuation methods."
Parareal is a parallel algorithm from numerical analysis and used for the solution of initial value problems. [1] It was introduced in 2001 by Lions, Maday and Turinici.Since then, it has become one of the most widely studied parallel-in-time integration methods.
Von Kármán swirling flow is a flow created by a uniformly rotating infinitely long plane disk, named after Theodore von Kármán who solved the problem in 1921. [1] The rotating disk acts as a fluid pump and is used as a model for centrifugal fans or compressors.
Common uses include water, sewage, agriculture, petroleum, and petrochemical pumping. Centrifugal pumps are often chosen for their high flow rate capabilities, abrasive solution compatibility, mixing potential, as well as their relatively simple engineering. [2] A centrifugal fan is commonly used to implement an air handling unit or vacuum cleaner.
Parallel task scheduling (also called parallel job scheduling [1] [2] or parallel processing scheduling [3]) is an optimization problem in computer science and operations research. It is a variant of optimal job scheduling .
Cutaway side-view diagram of an axial piston pump 3-D rendering of an axial piston pump with the parts labeled Animation of an axial piston pump in operation. An axial piston pump has a number of pistons (usually an odd number) arranged in a circular array within a housing which is commonly referred to as a cylinder block, rotor or barrel.
In parallel computing, execution occurs at the same physical instant: for example, on separate processors of a multi-processor machine, with the goal of speeding up computations—parallel computing is impossible on a single processor, as only one computation can occur at any instant (during any single clock cycle).
