Chapter 2 is employed to provide a general introduction to signal and process dynamics, including the concept of process time constants, process control, process optimisation and parameter identification. Other important aspects of dynamic simulation involve the numerical methods of solution and the resulting stability of solution both of which are dealt with from the viewpoint of the simulator, as compared to that of the mathematician.

We have seen that Lagrangian PDF methods allow us to express our closures in terms of SDEs for notional particles. Nevertheless, as discussed in detail in Chapter 7, these SDEs must be simulated numerically and are non-linear and coupled to the mean fields through the model coefficients. The numerical methods used to simulate the SDEs are statistical in nature (i.e., Monte-Carlo simulations). The results will thus be subject to statistical error, the magnitude of which depends on the sample size, and deterministic error or bias (Xu and Pope 1999). The purpose of this section is to present a brief introduction to the problem of particle-field estimation. A more detailed description of the statistical error and bias associated with particular simulation codes is presented in Chapter 7.

Since the discovery and clinical introduction of penicillin, considerable industrial and academic effort has been addressed to the design and synthesis of /1-lactam antibiotics. However, among the numerous methods developed for / -lactam synthesis, no single method is compatible with all possible functional groups and/or the chirality needed on the /3-lactamic ring. 

Many diffusion problems cannot be solved anal3dically, such as concentration-dependent D, complicated initial and boundary conditions, and irregular boundary shape. In these cases, numerical methods can be used to solve the diffusion equation (Press et al., 1992). There are many different numerical algorithms to solve a diffusion equation. This section gives a very brief introduction to the finite difference method. In this method, the differentials are replaced by the finite differences ... 

Introduction of the compressible-flow formulation, together with numerical implementation, leads to robust simulations for extremely fast transients. The time steps reduce appropriately to capture high-frequency details of the solution. Moreover there are essentially no convergence failures, indicating that the numerical method remains well conditioned even for extremely small time steps. This behavior demonstrates in practical terms that the system has been successfully reduced to index-one, confirming the analytical result.

In order to have theoretical relationships with which experimental data can be compared for analysis it is necessary to obtain solutions to the partial differential equations describing the diffusion-kinetic behaviour of the electrode process. Only a very brief account f the theoretical methods is given here and this is done merely to provide a basis for an appreciation of the problems involved and to point out where detailed treatments can be found. A very lucid introduction to the theoretical methods of dealing with transient electrochemical response has appeared (MacDonald, 1977) which is highly recommended in addition to the classic detailed treatment (Delahay, 1954). Analytical solutions of the partial differential equations are possible only in the most simple cases. In more complex cases either numerical methods are used to solve the equations or they are transformed into finite difference forms and solved by digital simulation.
