Full PDF methods

In this case kj 2 1/fm and consequently full PDF methods are required to describe accurately the turbulence-chemistry interactions. Tsai and Fox (1994)...

Mathematically, the PPDF method is based on the Finite Volume Method of solving full Favre averaged Navier-Stokes equations with the k-e model as a closure for the Reynolds stresses and a presumed PDF closure for the mean reaction rate. 

The last method for producing standard patterns for phases not in the PDF is more involved. In many instances single crystals of unknown phases can be removed from reaction mixtures. If this is the case, a full three dimensional crystal structure analysis will yield the positions of all atoms in the structure. Once the crystal structure is known, it can be used to calculate the X-ray powder diffraction pattern for the phase. This powder diffraction information can then be used with confidence as a standard powder pattern. 

Recently the ICDD Powder Diffraction File underwent a substantial and useful upgrade calculated patterns based on single crystal data from the ICSD file have been included into the PDF-2/PDF-4 Full File calculated patterns of structures stored in the CSD file, have been included into the PDF-4 Organics (see Table 4.3). These additions make it possible to conduct searches and find matches with computed digitized powder patterns in addition to experimentally measured powder diffraction data, thus improving automation, simplifying phase identification process and considerably expanding the applicability of the powder method for a qualitative phase analysis. 

The evaluation of the degrees of freedom of a nonlinear model built on a data set so close to full rank can only be possible if the degrees of freedom associated with each model can be estimated reliably. Van der Voet (1999) suggested a method of defining pseudo-degrees of freedom (pdf) based on the performance of a model, as in (14)...

The PDF (Portable Document Format) display presents the numerical data in a more traditional tabular and graphical form. The property type, including the physical quantities with their SI units, the state of the chemical system, and the method used to obtain the data, the molecular formulas, primary names and CAS Registry Numbers of the components are given. Alternate names (synonyms) are listed in the Name Index of Substances (Chap. 4.2). The full reference to the original source of data is given with the author(s) and the title of the publication. 

MCS is a general and robust method for probabilistic response analysis, but it suffers two significant limitations (1) it requires knowledge of the full joint PDF of random parameters 0, which, in general, is only partially known, and (2) it requires performing a usually large number of FE response analyses, which could be computationally prohibitive. 

Probability provides a classical model for dealing with uncertainty (Halpem 2003). The basic elements of probability theory are a) random variables and b) events, which are appropriate subsets of the sample space Q. A probabilistic model is an encoding of probabilistic information that allows the probability of events to be computed, according to the axioms of probability. In the continuous case, the usual method for specifying a probabilistic model assumes a full joint PDF over the considered random variables.
