In this paper, several general-purpose computer programs for the generation of the response of dynamic systems are discussed. The basic theoretical principles of dynamics are evaluated from a topological point of view and the dynamical formalisms of the major general multibody programs are...

This paper describes the interfacing of the simulation software DSS/2 and the optimization program OPTDES in order to build a PC environment for simulation and parameter estimation of dynamical systems with distributed parameters. The efficiency of these FORTRAN software tools is illustrated by...

We simulate the flow of a pre-mixed, reactive, incompressible, viscous fluid, using a combination of vortex methods and a flame propagation algorithm based on Huyghens' principle. The combustion part of the problem is modeled by a variation of the SLIC algorithm, which involves the use of a...

A parallel flight training simulator technique is being developed at Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. At the first stage, a simulation environment is set up to optimize the task scheduling and evaluate the multiprocessor architectures. One main purpose of this paper is the...

Increasing numbers of multiprocessor systems and network structures are used to solve problems that have not yet been solvable with sufficient accuracy. Special features are necessary for tools that are used for evaluating the performance of modelling and simulation systems for distributed...

The probability density and the entropy function related to the solution of initial-value problems which arise in the mathematical description of singularly perturbed, nonlinear phisycal systems with random initial conditions are derived in the assumption that the approximate solution to the...

In this review article we discuss analyses of finite-element and finite-difference approximations of the shallow water equations. An extensive bibliography is given.
