Thermal Lattice Boltzmann Simulation For Multispecies Fluid Equilibration, Linda L. Vahala, Darren Wah, George Vahala, Jonathan Carter, Pavol Pavlo

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

The equilibration rate for multispecies fluids is examined using thermal lattice Boltzmann simulations. Two-dimensional free-decay simulations are performed for effects of velocity shear layer turbulence on sharp temperature profiles. In particular, parameters are so chosen that the lighter species is turbulent while the heavier species is laminar-and so its vorticity layers would simply decay and diffuse in time. With species coupling, however, there is velocity equilibration followed by the final relaxation to one large co- and one large counter-rotating vortex. The temperature equilibration proceeds on a slower time scale and is in good agreement with the theoretical order of magnitude …

Asymptotic Properties Of Maximum (Composite) Likelihood Estimators For Partially Ordered Markov Models, Hsin-Cheng Huang, Noel A. Cressie

Faculty of Informatics - Papers (Archive)

Partially ordered Markov models (POMMs) are Markov random fields (MRFs) with neighborhood structures derivable from an associated partially ordered set. The most attractive feature of POMMs is that their joint distributions can be written in closed and product form. Therefore, simulation and maximum likelihood estimation for the models is quite straightforward, which is not the case in general for MRF models. In practice, one often has to modify the likelihood to account for edge components; the resulting composite likelihood for POMMs is similarly straightforward to maximize. In this article, we use a martingale approach to derive the asymptotic properties of …


Minimum Phi Divergence Estimator And Hierarchical Testing In Loglinear Models, Noel A. Cressie, Leandro Pardo Jan 2000

Minimum Phi Divergence Estimator And Hierarchical Testing In Loglinear Models, Noel A. Cressie, Leandro Pardo

Faculty of Informatics - Papers (Archive)

In this paper we consider inference based on very general divergence measures, under assumptions of multinomial sampling and loglinear models. We define the minimum phi divergence estimator, which is seen to be a generalization of the maximum likelihood estimator. This estimator is then used in a phi divergence goodness-of-fit statistic, which is the basis of two new statistics for solving the problem of testing a nested sequence of loglinear models.
