This work is devoted to the study of the influence of variation of the controlled dissipative properties on the accuracy of the QGDFoam solver and the visual representation of this influence. The work continues a series of studies on the comparative assessment of the accuracy of various numerical methods and solvers built on their basis. To carry out a comparative assessment, a generalized computational experiment for classes of problems with a reference solution is constructed and implemented. A generalized computational experiment based on the synthesis of solutions of mathematical modeling problems, parallel technologies and visual analysis tools makes it possible to obtain solutions not only for individual problems, but for whole classes of problems determined by the specified ranges of key parameters. Accordingly, a comparative assessment of the accuracy of numerical methods is also carried out for a class of problems. Earlier, a similar computational experiment was carried out for a comparative assessment of the accuracy for solvers of the OpenFOAM open source software package on the well-known classical problem of an oblique shock wave formation. One of the solvers participating in the calculations, namely the QGDFoam solver, was the only one of all to have controlled dissipative properties. New generalized computational experiment was implemented to study the effect of variation of the parameter that controls the dissipative properties. The target was to reduce the error in comparison with the reference solution. The research results are presented in this work.

This work is devoted to the application of a generalized computational experiment for a comparative assessment of numerical methods accuracy. The construction of a generalized computational experiment is based on the simultaneous solution using parallel computations in a multitasking mode of a basic problem with different input parameters, obtaining results in the form of multidimensional data volumes and their visual analysis. This approach can be effective in problems of verification of numerical methods. A comparative assessment of the accuracy for solvers of the open software package OpenFOAM is carried out. The classic inviscid problem of oblique shock wave is used as a basic task. Variations of the key parameters of the problem — the Mach number and angle of attack — are considered. An example of constructing error surfaces is given when the solvers of the OpenFOAM software package are compared. The concept of an error index is introduced as an integral characteristic of deviations from the exact solution for each solver in the class of problems under consideration. The surfaces of deviations from the exact solution in the L2 norm, constructed for each solver, together with the calculated error indices, make it possible to obtain a complete picture of the accuracy of the solvers under consideration for the class of problems defined by the ranges of variation of the Mach number and angle of attack.

The work is devoted to the problems of constructing a generalized computational experiment in the problems of computational aerodynamics. The construction of a generalized computational experiment is based on the possibility of carrying out parallel calculations of the same problem with different input data in multitasking mode. This allows carrying out parametric studies and solving problems of optimization analysis. The results of such an experiment are multidimensional arrays, for the study of which visual analytics methods should be used. The construction of a generalized experiment allows one to obtain dependences for valuable functionals on the determining parameters of the problem under consideration. The implementation of a generalized experiment allows one to obtain a solution for a class of problems in the ranges under consideration, and not just for one problem. Examples of constructing a generalized computational experiment for various classes of problems of computational aerodynamics are presented. The article also provides an example of constructing such an experiment for a comparative assessment of the accuracy of numerical methods.

This work is devoted to the application of a generalized computational experiment for a comparative assessment of numerical methods accuracy. A generalized computational experiment allows one to obtain a numerical solution for a class of problems determined by the ranges of defining parameters variation. The approaches to the application of a generalized computational experiment in the presence of a reference solution and in its absence are dis-cussed. An example of constructing error surfaces is given when the solvers of the OpenFOAM software package are compared. The classic inviscid problem of oblique shock wave is used as a basic task. Variations of the key parameters of the problem — the Mach number and angle of attack — are considered. An example of the problem of flow around a cone at an angle of attack with varying Mach number, cone angle and angle of attack is also considered. The concept of an error index is introduced as an integral characteristic of deviations from the exact solution for each solver in the class of problems under consideration.

Motor learning experiments are typically run in-person, exploiting finely calibrated setups (digitizing tablets, robotic manipulandum, full VR displays) that provide high temporal and spatial resolution. However, these experiments come at a cost, not limited to the one-time expense of purchasing equipment but also the substantial time devoted to recruiting participants and administering the experiment. Moreover, exceptional circumstances that limit in-person testing, such as a global pandemic, may halt research progress. These limitations of in-person motor learning research have motivated the design of OnPoint, an open-source software package for motor control and motor learning researchers. As with all online studies, OnPoint offers an opportunity to conduct large-N motor learning studies, with potential applications to do faster pilot testing, replicate previous findings, and conduct longitudinal studies (GitHub repository: https://github.com/alan-s-lee/OnPoint).

We describe an open source software package, ogttMetrics, to compute diverse measures of glucose metabolism derived from oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs). Tools are provided to organize, visualize and compare OGTT data from large cohorts. Numerical difficulties in estimation of parameters of the Bergman minimal model are described, and in one large clinical trial, the simpler closed form index of Matsuda is observed to lead to similar rankings of individuals with respect to insulin sensitivity, and similar inferences concerning effects of modifications to carbohydrate content and glycemic index of experimental diets.

We develop an efficient software package to test for the primality of p2^n+1, p prime and p>2^n. This aids in the determination of large, non-Sierpinski numbers p, for prime p, and in cryptography. It furthermore uniquely allows for the computation of the smallest n such that p2^n+1 is prime when p is large. We compute primes of this form for the first one million primes p and find four primes of the form above 1000 digits. The software may also be used to test whether p2^n+1 divides a generalized fermat number base 3.

AbstractTipping elements occur in various systems such as in socio-economics, ecology and the climate system. In many cases, the individual tipping elements are not independent of each other, but they interact across scales in time and space. To model systems of interacting tipping elements, we here introduce the PyCascades open source software package for studying interacting tipping elements (10.5281/zenodo.4153102). PyCascades is an object-oriented and easily extendable package written in the programming language Python. It allows for investigating under which conditions potentially dangerous cascades can emerge between interacting dynamical systems, with a focus on tipping elements. With PyCascades it is possible to use different types of tipping elements such as double-fold and Hopf types and interactions between them. PyCascades can be applied to arbitrary complex network structures and has recently been extended to stochastic dynamical systems. This paper provides an overview of the functionality of PyCascades by introducing the basic concepts and the methodology behind it. In the end, three examples are discussed, showing three different applications of the software package. First, the moisture recycling network of the Amazon rainforest is investigated. Second, a model of interacting Earth system tipping elements is discussed. And third, the PyCascades modelling framework is applied to a global trade network.
