One method of reducing this redundant effort is to devise a method for automatically generating programs for the solution of any of a class of problems. One such technique is illustrated in Figure 1. A generator program produces, in response to user inputs, an output program for the solution of a particular problem. User inputs to the generator can be either in the form of commands in a special purpose language (e.g., macro statement) or responses to computer-generated queries. The output code produced by such a system is free of coding errors usual in handwritten programs. The output program is a free-standing entity which can be used for production data processing without user intervention. The literature contains a number of references to this type of approach.","PeriodicalId":294588,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the December 9-11, 1968, fall joint computer conference, part I","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1968-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127067834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The number of difference equations equals the number of spatial mesh points or stations times the number of time increments. In the analog computer solution of a partial differential equation the equation may be approximated by a set of coupled ordinary differential equations, one equation for each station. The set of differential equations is then solved simultaneously. Unless the problem is simple and the number of stations is small, digital computation may take a long time and analog computation may involve much equipment. The present investigation is an attempt to indicate a profitable way to solve partial differential equations with hybrid computation, using only a limited number of high speed analog components for integration and employing the digital computer for function storage and playback.","PeriodicalId":294588,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the December 9-11, 1968, fall joint computer conference, part I","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1968-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116968399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The derivation of the equations is similar to the approach used for a waterhammer analysis and is based on those of Dr. Victor Streeter, who has written extensively on the problem of waterhammer. The approach that is followed here is similar to that used for elastic waterhammer, which considers the flow of a fluid in an elastic pipe. In the human vascular system there is also the flow of a fluid in an elastic pipe. With the proper parameters and boundary conditions it is reasonable to assume that these derivations will lead to a set of equations which can be used to describe the dynamical properties of the vascular system. In order to apply these equations to the flow of blood it is necessary to make the following assumptions: 1. The blood vessel and elastic tube have a constant modulus of elasticity and a constant wave velocity. 2. The blood vessel is not permeable and is cylindrical with a constant internal diameter at rest. 3. Blood flow is laminar after leaving the upper portion of the aorta. 4. The loss of energy due to friction between the fluid and the walls of the blood vessel is proportional to the square of the velocity. 5. There are no discontinuities. This is to say that there is no branching along the section of blood vessel under consideration.","PeriodicalId":294588,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the December 9-11, 1968, fall joint computer conference, part I","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1899-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124984213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
