We propose to use the multicanonical Monte Carlo (MMC) method, a special type of adaptive importance sampling algorithms, to compute the PDF of interest.
Due to the independence of random variables in the transform domain, it is simpler to compute the statistics of interest, and afterwards the transform is inverted to get the desired result.
To account for both types of uncertainty, statistical simulation was used to compute the quantities of interest, namely average cost per bed-day and the uncertainty around these estimates.
During each trial, the last 10 complete consecutive propulsion cycles recorded were used to compute the measurements of interest (i.e., trunk and shoulder kinematics, shoulder kinetics, and shoulder muscular demand) and were essential to confirm the successful completion for each slope tested (i.e., two trials/slope).
A Eurobarometer report, for example, found that only 56% of Europeans are able to correctly compute the first year's interest on a €50,000 loan with 6% interest (yes, the answer is €3,000).
The numerical velocity, pressure and temperature fields are post-processed to compute the quantities of engineering interest such as the induced mass flow rate, the pressure at the channel mid-plane and the temperature along the plates.
The second part of the workflow (shown in Fig. 10) applies each routing configuration sequentially to the numerical model and runs it (using the automation feature (Schlumberger Ltd 2012), and activating and deactivating flowlines) to compute the main parameters of interest (e.g., oil rate, gas rate, water rate).
We assume a 34% corporate tax rate to compute the tax break derived from interest expense.
It is also of interest to compute the Ohnesorge number of the film flow, which relates the viscous forces to inertial and surface tension forces: Oh = η ρ γ L, where L denotes a characteristic length in the horizontal direction.
