Testing of calibration models in order to certify the overall reliability of the trisonic blowdown wind tunnel of VTI [PDF]
It is strongly recommended that wind tunnel calibrations become a regular part of the operational cycle for any wind tunnel. They facilitate tunnel-totunnel data comparisons. Standard calibration model, representing a generic winged missile configuration,

Calibrating a flow model in an irrigation network: Case study in Alicante, Spain
The usefulness of models depends on their validation in a calibration process, ensuring that simulated flows and pressure values in any line are really occurring and, therefore, becoming a powerful decision tool for many aspects in the network management

Sequential calibration of material constitutive model using mixed-effects calibration
Identifying model parameters is nowadays intrinsically linked with quantifying the associated uncertainties. While classical methods allow to handle some types of uncertainties such as experimental noise, they are not designed to take into account the ...

Integrating remote sensing datasets into ecological modelling: a Bayesian approach [PDF]
Process-based models have been used to simulate 3-dimensional complexities of forest ecosystems and their temporal changes, but their extensive data requirement and complex parameterisation have often limited their use for practical management ...

DIC-Aided Mechanoluminescent Film Sensor for Quantitative Measurement of Full-Field Strain
To break through the bottleneck in the mapping of the mechanoluminescent (ML) intensity field to the strain field, a quantification method for full-field strain measurement based on pixel-level data fusion is proposed, integrating ML imaging with digital
