Arthur, Richard B. (1976). A Survey of Methods for the Simulation of Continuous Systems. PHD thesis, Aston University.
Abstract
The objectives of the project were to review the range of methods available for the computer simulation of continuous systems and then to apply these methods to a particular system. The range of methods include those using analogue, parallel-logic and digital hardware and the use of each method is discussed with reference to programming time, solution time and ease of method. Full descriptions of the solutions and the results obtained are given. A critical appraisal of each method then follows and comparisons between the simulation solutions and the analytical solution are discussed with reference to any errors occurring during the simulations from which conclusions are formulated as to the most appropriate methods. A set of appendices describes the computer configurations, details the mathematical solution and tabulates the digital programs and results in full.
