Reduced order modeling of distillation systems by Welz, Martina L S

“…The concept of distillation separation feasibility is investigated using reduced-order models. Three different models of nonequilibrium rate-based packed distillation columns are developed, each with progressive levels of complexity. …”

Boiler system modelling using Flownex® by Rossouw, André

“…A study into heat transfer mechanisms applicable to coal-fired boiler heat exchangers was done to ensure fundamental theoretical principles are adhered to during the development of the analytical models, the first step in the modelling process. The Flownex solving methodology is evaluated against the analytical models in a simplified heat exchanger before full detail modelling of heat exchangers are done. …”

Modelling of Residual Stresses of Blood Vessels by Omatuku, Emmanuel Ngongo

“…Thus this study aims to model residual stresses by incorporating them into the wall stress distribution, and to investigate the effect that parameters defining the study constitutive model have on the stress distribution. …”

Exposure modelling under change of measure by Roberts, Christopher

“…Working with the Hull-White (HW) model of the short rate, the effect of a change of measure on the PFE and EE profiles of vanilla interest rate swaps and European swaptions is shown under three common measures: the money-market account measure, the T-forward measure and the Linear Gaussian Markovian (LGM) measure. …”

The treatment of uncertainty in construction price modelling by Strez, Henryk Andrzej Leon

“…The purpose of this thesis was to acquaint the reader on the nature of the uncertainty present in construction price forecasting and to introduce an environment that has the ability to integrate these uncertainties with greater consistency than that possessed by available price models. The objective of this thesis was to establish that uncertainty can be explicitly treated in price forecasting models. …”

Modelling the oceanic circulation in the Delagoa Bight by Cossa, Obadias J

“…The ROMS is used to investigate the oceanic circulation in the Delagoa Bight region, near the southwestern end of the Mozambique Channel. The model is initially configured at a horizontal resolution of 1/10° (9.9km) over the domain 30.1-43°E,22.13-30.8° S. …”

The Lifted Heston Stochastic Volatility Model by Broodryk, Ryan

“…Can we capture the explosive nature of volatility skew observed in the market, without resorting to non-Markovian models? We show that, in terms of skew, the Heston model cannot match the market at both long and short maturities simultaneously. …”

Investigating neural responses in models of neurocysticercosis by Tomes, Hayley Sarah

“…In the final part of my thesis I established an in vivo model of neurocysticercosis. I found that intradermal inoculation together with multiple intracerebral injections of Taenia crassiceps homogenate did not result in the development of seizures over 3 months of chronic electrocorticography recordings. …”
