Simulators FORTRAN

Only an introduction to digital simulation will be given in this appendix. Extensive treatments exist, such as those in Refs. 1-4. In order to implement digital simulation FORTRAN has usually been employed.

An important though deman ding book. Topics include statistical mechanics, Monte Carlo sim illation s. et uilibrium and non -ec iiilibrium molecular dynamics, an aly sis of calculation al results, and applications of methods to problems in liquid dynamics. The authors also discuss and compare many algorithms used in force field simulations. Includes a microfiche containing dozens of Fortran-77 subroutines relevant to molecular dynamics and liquid simulations. 

One of the first complete, continuous simulation models was the pesticide mnoff transport model (PRT) (56). Improvements in the PRT modelled to the hydrologic simulation program—FORTRAN model (57). A number of other models have been developed (58,59). These models represent a compromise between the avadable data and the abiHty to encompass a wide range in soils, climates, and pesticides. These models have had mixed success when extended beyond the data with which they were caHbrated. No model has yet been developed that can be proven to give accurate predictions of... 

Dr. Coker has authored Fortran Programs for Chemical Process Design, Analysis and Simulation, and written a topie seetion in the Encyclopedia of Chemical Processing and Design (Vol. 61). He has direeted and eondueted short eourses for Proeter Gamble in the U.K., Saudi Basie Industries Corporation (SABIC) and Saudi Arameo Shell Refinery Company (SASREE) in Saudi Arabia. His artieles have been published in several international journals. 

HSPF. The Hydrologic Simulation Program (FORTRAN) ( 1, 42) is based on the Stanford Watershed Model. Version 7 of HSPF incorporates the process models of SERATRA in its aquatic section, with several (user-selectable) options for sediment transport computations. HSPF includes the generation of transformation products, each of which is in turn subject to volatilization, phototransformation, biolysis, etc.

The random number generator in all simulations was RAN3 (Press et al., 1992). Computations were made in FORTRAN 90. To reduce cancellation errors, theoretical values of r for PAR were computed in double precision. 

The book explains how to solve coupled systems of ordinary differential equations of the kind that commonly arise in the quantitative description of the evolution of environmental properties. All of the computations that I shall describe can be performed on a personal computer, and all of the programs can be written in such familiar languages as BASIC, PASCAL, or FORTRAN. My goal is to teach the methods of computational simulation of environmental change, and so I do not favor the use of professionally developed black-box programs. 

Table 5.5 gives values of parameters and steady state conditions. The variables with overscores or bars over them are steadystate values. Note that the time basis used in this problem is hours. Table 5.6 gives a FORTRAN program that simulates this system using Euler integration. The right-hand sides of the... 

Table 5,14 gives a digital computer FORTRAN program for this three-component batch distillation dynamic simulation. The specific example is a column with 20 trays and relative volatilities of 9, 3, and 1. The vapor flow rate is constant at 100 mol/h. 

Expert systems are computer programs that simulate the decision-making process of human experts. The hallmark of expert systems is that decisions are based on heuristics (rules of thumb) when data is incomplete or there is not enough time to consider all possibilities [19]. An expert system can be a set of IF-THEN rules in FORTRAN, or it can be a written in one of the languages designed for expert systems, such as LISP. Expert systems can be used off-line to aid in cure cycle selection, or they can be used as real-time advisers or controllers. 

The solver is implemented in Fortran, using optimized treatment of diagonal-band matrices and analytical derivatives of reaction rates to minimize computation time. The software structure is modular, so that different reaction-kinetic modules for individual types of catalysts can be easily employed in the monolith channel model. The compiled converter models are then linked in the form of dynamic libraries into the common environment (ExACT) under Matlab/Simulink. Such combination enables fast and effective simulation of combined systems of catalytic monolith converters for automobile exhaust treatment. 

Develop two method-of-lines simulations to solve this problem. In the first, formulate the problem as standard-form ordinary differential equations, y7 = ff(f, y). In the second, formulate the problem in differential-algebraic (DAE) form, 0 = g(t, y, y ). Standard-form stiff, ordinary-differential-equation (ODE) solvers are readily avalaible. DAE solvers are less readily available, but Dassl is a good choice. The Fortran source code for Dassl is available at http //wwwjietlib.org. 

After acquiring the FORTRAN source code and documentation for Dassl (or other differential-algebraic solver) from www.netlib.org, write a simulation program to solve this problem. 

Physiological Models for chemical bioaccumulation in fish are based on the same mass balance equations as the kinetic models for bioaccumulation, but the rate constants and chemical fluxes that quantify the rates of uptake and elimination of the substance are derived from Kow and a set of physiological parameters. The most well known model in this category is the FGETS (Food and Gill Exchange of Toxic Substances) model Barber et al. (1988, 1991) developed. This is a FORTRAN simulation model that predicts dynamics of a fish s whole body concentration of non-ionic, nonmetabolized, organic chemicals absorbed from the water only, or from water and food jointly.
