description: We report on measurements of event-by-event charge fluctuations in $π^{+}\rp$ and $\rK^{+}\rp$ collisions at 250 GeV/$c$. The dependence of these fluctuations on the size of the rapidity windows are presented for the first time in the full phase space domain. The corrections for the influence of global charge conservation and leading-particle stopping are tested by the data. The discrepancy due to incomplete correction given by STAR and PHENIX are estimated. The dependence of the fluctuations on the position of the rapidity bin and on the multiplicity at different rapidity windows are also presented.

subject: Specialist studies in education

description: The topic of this study contributes to the growing research on professional development of academics who teach in Australian higher education. Specifically, this exploration focused on the under-represented perceptions of teaching academics within Australian regional universities. The research presented in this dissertation builds on the community of practice related to professional development for teaching academics, therefore, the voices of academics in regional-based universities were given opportunities to be heard. Furthermore, the evolving nature of higher education teaching in the face of new opportunities and challenges calls for an exploration of strategies that are being employed to facilitate learning and teaching professional development in the sector. Therefore, the study also aimed to inform the practice of and equip academic developers, who design and deliver learning and teaching professional development, with a typological tool. This dissertation first establishes a broader context of learning and teaching professional development in the Australian landscape, prior to investigating the perceptions of teaching academics and their motivation to participate in professional development in Australian regional universities. A typology is then presented as a tool to assist with uptake and implementation of learning and teaching professional development. Pragmatism was used as the research paradigm to guide this research study’s design and methods. For the purposes of this research study, an exploratory sequential mixed methods design was appropriate. This Thesis was conducted over four years (2019-2023) and was presented across three academic journal articles. Three papers are embedded in this Thesis by Publication presenting the literature review, semi-structured interviews, and survey respectively. The context of academics teaching in higher education has changed dramatically with the emergence of new realities, opportunities, and challenges. The findings of this research study open opportunities for relevant and strategic learning and teaching professional development activities that academics are motivated to participate in. The dissertation ends with a discussion of the relevance of this research to the sector and answers the research questions, as well as outlines its limitations, directions for future research and implications for practice. A personal reflection of the author’s learning journey is then given.

description: Low light image enhancement is an important challenge for the development of robust computer vision algorithms. The machine learning approaches to this have been either unsupervised, supervised based on paired dataset or supervised based on unpaired dataset. This paper presents a novel deep learning pipeline that can learn from both paired and unpaired datasets. Convolution Neural Networks (CNNs) that are optimized to minimize standard loss, and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) that are optimized to minimize the adversarial loss are used to achieve different steps of the low light image enhancement process. Cycle consistency loss and a patched discriminator are utilized to further improve the performance. The paper also analyses the functionality and the performance of different components, hidden layers, and the entire pipeline.

description: The possibilities that, in the realm of the detection of the so--called deformed dispersion relation, a light source with a continuous distribution of frequencies offers is discussed. It will be proved that the presence of finite coherence length entails the emergence of a new term in the interference pattern. This is a novel trait, which renders a new possibility in the quest for bounds associated with these deformed dispersion relations.

description: O setor moveleiro de Ubá e região está estruturado de forma verticalizada. A literatura aponta que a desverticalização do setor pode tornar o pólo mais competitivo, atingindo maior eficiência e causando maior fortalecimento da região. Para avaliar a veracidade dessa hipótese, verificaram-se os possíveis efeitos da desverticalização para a lucratividade das empresas envolvidas. Assim, os objetivos da pesquisa foram avaliar as conseqüências da estratégia de desverticalização em cadeias moveleiras. Inicialmente traçou-se o perfil do pólo com base em uma amostra de empresas e, a seguir, realizou-se um estudo de caso múltiplo em duas empresas. Utilizou-se a dinâmica de sistemas para modelar os efeitos das inter-relações das variáveis determinantes da decisão de terceirização. As variáveis que mais afetam a decisão de desverticalização foram o custo e a qualidade. Por sua vez, a variável aumento de capacidade de produção assumiu importância secundária.---------------------------------------------The research studied the possible effects of the production chain deverticalization on the wood furniture production sector of Ubá city and surroundings. Thus, the research objective was to assess the process of deverticalization in wood furniture production chains, through the identification of factors related to this process and their effects on the profitability of chosen firms in the Ubá’s region. The research starts with the development of a chain profile, through the study of a statistic sample of firms. This stage was followed by the development of a multiple case study, in which the profitability of two firms was studied. System dynamics were the tool used in the case studies. The firms’ results showed that cost and quality were the two main aspects affecting the deverticalization decision. In this context, the increase of the firm’s production capacity showed to be of secondary importance.
The role of Coherent Structures and Inhomogeneity in Near-Field Inter-Scale Turbulent Energy Transfers

description: We use DNS to study inter-scale and inter-space energy exchanges in the near-field of a turbulent wake of a square prism in terms of the KHMH equation written for a triple decomposition of the velocity field accounting for the quasi-periodic vortex shedding. Orientation-averaged terms of the KHMH are computed on the plane of the mean flow and on the geometric centreline. We consider locations between $2$ and $8$ times the width $d$ of the prism. The mean flow produces kinetic energy which feeds the vortex shedding coherent structures. In turn, these structures transfer energy to the stochastic fluctuations over all length-scales $r$ from the Taylor length $λ$ to $d$ and dominate spatial turbulent transport of two-point stochastic turbulent fluctuations. The orientation-averaged non-linear inter-scale transfer rate $Π^{a}$ which was found to be approximately independent of $r$ by Alves Portela et. al. (2017) in the range $λ\le r \le 0.3d$ at a distance $x_{1}=2d$ from the square prism requires an inter-scale transfer contribution of coherent structures for this approximate constancy. However, the near-constancy of $Π^a$ at $x_1=8d$ which was also found by Alves Portela et. al. (2017) is mostly due to stochastic fluctuations. Even so, the proximity of $-Π^a$ to the turbulence dissipation rate $\varepsilon$ in the range $λ\le r\le d$ at $x_1=8d$ requires contributions of the coherent structures. Spatial inhomogeneity also makes a direct and distinct contribution to $Π^a$, and the constancy of $-Π^a/\varepsilon$ close to 1 would not have been possible without it either in this near-field flow. Finally, the pressure-velocity term is also an important contributor to the KHMH, particularly at scales r larger than about $0.4d$, and appears to correlate with the purely stochastic non-linear inter-scale transfer rate when the orientation average is lifted.

description: Agriculture is responsible for a large share of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, especially for methane and nitrous oxide emissions. Applying a bio-economic whole-farm model, we assessed five GHG mitigation options on their economic suitability to reduce emissions from grassland-based suckler cow farms. Among the assessed options, only compensation by agroforestry systems and the choice of an adequate production system showed the potential to significantly reduce emissions. If an adequate production system is chosen, GHG emissions per kilogram of meat can be reduced by up to 18% – from 21.9 to 18 kg CO2-eq./kg of meat – while total gross margin can be increased by up to 14%. Through the application of an agroforestry system, GHG emissions in all systems can be further reduced to 7.5 kg CO2-eq./kg meat – equating to a reduction of GHG emissions of 48% to 66% – at costs between 0.03 CHF/kg meat and 0.38 CHF/kg meat depending on the production system and the state of the system before the reduction. In contrast, the addition of lipids to the diet or a cover to the slurry tank has neither the potential to reduce GHG emissions significantly nor are they cost-effective enough to be implemented. Nitrification inhibitors can reduce GHG emissions up to 10%, but costs for this reduction are much higher than for agroforestry systems. The application of agroforestry systems to suckler farming in Switzerland therefore seems to be an adequate option to reduce GHG emission significantly for a relatively low price.
The optimal taxation of families
Creators: name: Brett, Craig
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis presents an analysis of two classical problems in the theory of optimal taxation: commodity tax reform and nonlinear income taxation. Economic behavior is modeled as arising out of a family decision making process rather than owing to individual utility maximization. The taxation authority is assumed to have no direct control over intra-family allocations of ^resources. In this way, family interactions change the nature of the second-best constraints the planner faces. The analysis focuses on the impact of these constraints on optimal policy choices. Attention is focused on families with two members, whom the planner can (in most situations that are modeled) tell apart. In the chapters dealing with commodity tax reform, behaviour is modeled as the Pareto-efficient outcome of a family decision process. Conditions for the existence of a feasible, Pareto-improving tax change are presented and contrasted with those that obtain in the individualistic case. The consequences of treating households as a single individual are also discussed. It is shown that treating families as if they were individuals can lead to misleading conclusions. An example is presented to demonstrate that the traditional analysis may go wrong even when families behave as if they are individuals. Moreover, it is shown that household budget data alone is insufficient to address this issue. The model is then put to use to address question of temporary inefficiencies in tax reform. I present how the circumstances under which temporary inefficiencies can arise vary with the structure of poll taxes. The problem faced by a planner choosing an income tax schedule for families is modeled as a multi-dimensional screening problem. Families are described by a two-dimensional vector of characteristics, interpreted as the labour productivities of their members. The planner cannot observe these characteristics directly. Furthermore, families are free to redistribute the after-tax incomes of their members. The planner must take this behaviour into account when choosing the tax schedule. A description of the possible Pareto-efficient mechanisms is given. The implications of a standard redistributive assumption on the sign of marginal tax rates are explored. In contrast to uni-dimensional taxation models, the redistributive assumption does not imply that marginal tax rates are everywhere non-negative. For much of the analysis, the usual assumption of quasi-linear preferences is jettisoned, allowing an exploration of the implications of this additional structure. The qualitative features of optimal tax- schedules are discussed. It is concluded that neither individual-based taxation nor taxation based solely on total family income is optimal.
Can Hydro-economic River Basis Models Simulate Water Shadow Prices Under Asymmetric Access?

description: Hydro-economic river basin models (HERBM) based on mathematical programming are conventionally formulated as explicit ‘aggregate optimization’ problems with a single, aggregate objective function. Often unintended, this format implicitly assumes that decisions on water allocation are made via central planning or functioning markets such as to maximize social welfare. In the absence of perfect water markets, however, individually optimal decisions by water users will differ from the social optimum. Classical aggregate HERBMs cannot simulate that situation and thus might be unable to describe existing institutions governing access to water and produce biased results for alternative ones. We propose a new solution format for HERBMs, based on Mixed Complementarity Programming (MCP), where modified shadow price relations express spatial externalities resulting from asymmetric access to water use. This new problem format, as opposed to commonly used linear (LP) or non-linear programming (NLP) approaches, enables the simultaneous simulation of numerous ‘independent optimization’ decisions by multiple water users while maintaining physical interdependences based on water use and flow in the river basin. We show that the alternative problem format allows formulating HERBMs that yield more realistic results when comparing different water management institutions.

description: Econometric estimation of production functions is one of the most common methods in applied economic production analysis. These studies usually apply parametric estimation techniques, which obligate the researcher to specify the functional form of the production function. Most often, the Cobb-Douglas or the Translog production function is used. However, the specification of a functional form for the production function involves the risk of specifying a functional form that is not similar to the “true” relationship between the inputs and the output. This misspecification might result in biased estimation results—including measures that are of interest of applied economists, such as elasticities. Therefore, we propose to use nonparametric econometric methods. First, they can be applied to verify the functional form used in parametric estimations of production functions. Second, they can be directly used for estimating production functions without specifying a functional form and thus, avoiding possible misspecification errors. We use a balanced panel data set of farms specialized in crop production that is constructed from Polish FADN data for the years 2004-2007. Our analysis shows that neither the Cobb-Douglas function nor the Translog function are consistent with the “true” relationship between the inputs and the output in our data set. We solve this problem by using non-parametric regression. This approach delivers reasonable results, which are on average not too different from the results of the parametric estimations but many individual results are rather different.

description: This research explores the effect of exercise on motor learning in disrupted dopamine signalling, including following a selective dopamine antagonist (sulpiride), and in healthy older adults. These studies provide causal evidence for the importance of dopamine D2 transmission in motor learning and show that acute high intensity exercise improves motor consolidation in healthy aging. These findings improve our understanding of dopaminergic contributions to motor learning, and provide critical insight into when, and for whom, exercise may be beneficial in supporting motor learning. This can inform exercise interventions in age-related disorders such as Parkinson’s disease.

description: Cooperative and corporate farms have retained an important role for agricultural production in many transition countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Despite this importance, their ownership structure and particularly the ownership's effect on their investment activity vital for efficient restructuring and the sector's future development are still not well understood. This paper aims to analyze the ownership-investment relationship using data on Czech farms from 1997 to 2008. We allow for ownership-specific variability in farm investment behavior analyzed by means of error-correction accelerator model. Empirical results suggest significant differences in the level of investment activity, responsiveness to market signals, investment lumpiness of investment as well as sensitivity to financial variables among farms with different ownership characteristics. Resulting increase in farm performance differences among farms can be expected to lead to farm restructuring in direction of lowering number of owners and increasing ownership concentration.

description: We critically examine the possibility of determining the parity of the $Θ^+(1540)$ from the reactions $NN\to Θ^+Y$ ($Y$ = $Λ$, $Σ$) recently discussed in the literature. Specifically, we study the energy dependence of those observables that were suggested to be the most promising ones to unravel the parity of the $Θ^+$, namely the spin correlation coefficient $A_{xx}$, and the spin transfer coefficient $D_{xx}$. We show that the energy dependence of $σ_0(1+A_{xx})$, corresponding to the spin-triplet production cross section, guarantees unambiguous information on the parity of the $Θ^+$. Here, $σ_0$ denotes the unpolarized cross section. Also, the possibility to determine the parity of the $Θ^+$ through the energy dependence of $σ_0D_{xx}$ is discussed.

description: The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm is being rapidly adopted for the creation of smart environments in various domains. The IoT-enabled Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) associated with smart city, healthcare, Industry 4.0 and Agtech handle a huge volume of data and require data processing services from different types of applications in real-time. The Cloud-centric execution of IoT applications barely meets such requirements as the Cloud datacentres reside at a multi-hop distance from the IoT devices. \textit{Fog computing}, an extension of Cloud at the edge network, can execute these applications closer to data sources. Thus, Fog computing can improve application service delivery time and resist network congestion. However, the Fog nodes are highly distributed, heterogeneous and most of them are constrained in resources and spatial sharing. Therefore, efficient management of applications is necessary to fully exploit the capabilities of Fog nodes. In this work, we investigate the existing application management strategies in Fog computing and review them in terms of architecture, placement and maintenance. Additionally, we propose a comprehensive taxonomy and highlight the research gaps in Fog-based application management. We also discuss a perspective model and provide future research directions for further improvement of application management in Fog computing.

description: Measurement of odd moments of current fluctuations is difficult due to strict requirements for band-pass filtering. We propose how these requirements can be overcome using cyclostationary driving of the measured signal and indicate how the measurement accuracy can be tested through the phase dependence of the moments of the fluctuations. We consider two schemes, the mixing scheme and the statistics scheme, where the current statistics can be accessed. We also address the limitations of the schemes, due to excess noise and due to the effects of the environment, and, finally, discuss the required measurement times for typical setups.

description: Childhood obesity, which is directly linked to chronic illnesses and increased medical costs, has emerged as a critical national policy issue in the EU and the US. At the forefront of programs to reduce childhood obesity are efforts to shift consumption away from high-caloric and high-fat foods to healthier alternatives. One challenge in combating childhood obesity via induced shifts towards a healthier diet is that the majority of food consumed by younger children is purchased or prepared by someone else, i.e., a parent. Hence, it is critical to design initiatives aimed at affecting parents' purchases of healthy foods for their children. In this study we focus on the potential of front-of-package health labels specifically designed to signal parents foods that are healthy for children. We report results of a choice experiment administered to 733 parents with children between the ages of three and ten. In the experiments branded and unbranded yogurts marketed to children are considered with different health labels. In our analysis, we explicitly control for the child's body mass index (BMI) to assess how labels affect parents' food choices conditional on the health status of their child. Results from two mixed logit models are promising, indicating that (1) parents are willing to pay a premium for yogurts with a label denoting the food is a healthy choice for children and (2) parents with children who are overweight or obese, and hence already in the high risk category due to their body weight, are most affected by the labels.

description: Analyses of laser ranges to the Moon provide increasingly stringent limits on any violation of the Equivalence Principle (EP); they also enable several very accurate tests of relativistic gravity. We report the results of our recent analysis of Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) data giving an EP test of Δ(M_G/M_I)_{EP} =(-1.0 +/- 1.4) x 10^{-13}. This result yields a Strong Equivalence Principle (SEP) test of Δ(M_G/M_I)_{SEP} =(-2.0 +/- 2.0) x 10^{-13}. Also, the corresponding SEP violation parameter ηis (4.4 +/- 4.5) x 10^{-4}, where η=4β-γ-3 and both βand γare parametrized post-Newtonian (PPN) parameters. Using the recent Cassini result for the parameter γ, PPN parameter βis determined to be β-1=(1.2 +/- 1.1) x 10^{-4}. The geodetic precession test, expressed as a relative deviation from general relativity, is K_{gp}=-0.0019 +/- 0.0064. The search for a time variation in the gravitational constant results in \dot G/G=(4 +/- 9) x 10^{-13} yr^{-1}, consequently there is no evidence for local (~1AU) scale expansion of the solar system.

description: Exchange coupling between localized spins and band or topological states accounts for giant magnetotransport and magnetooptical effects as well as determines spin-spin interactions in magnetic insulators and semiconductors. However, even in archetypical dilute magnetic semiconductors such as Cd$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$Te and Hg$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$Te the evolution of this coupling with the wave vector is not understood. A series of experiments have demonstrated that exchange-induced splitting of magnetooptical spectra of Cd$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$Te and Zn$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$Te at the L points of the Brillouin zone is, in contradiction to the existing theories, more than one order of magnitude smaller compared to its value at the zone center and can show an unexpected sign of the effective Landé factors. The origin of these findings we elucidate quantitatively by combining: (i) relativistic first-principles density functional calculations; (ii) a tight-binding approach that takes carefully into account k-dependence of the potential and kinetic sp-d exchange interactions; (iii) a theory of magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) for $E_1$ and $E_1$ + $Δ_1$ optical transitions, developed here within the envelope function $kp$ formalism for the L point of the Brillouin zone in zinc-blende crystals. This combination of methods leads to the conclusion that the physics of MCD at the boundary of the Brillouin zone is strongly affected by the strength of two relativistic effects in particular compounds: (i) the mass-velocity term that controls the distance of the conduction band at the L point to the upper Hubbard band of Mn ions and, thus, a relative magnitude and sign of the exchange splittings in the conduction and valence bands; (ii) the spin-momentum locking by spin-orbit coupling that reduces exchange splitting depending on the orientation of particular L valleys with respect to the magnetization direction.

Quantum turnstile regime of nanoelectromechanical systems

description: The effects of a turnstile operation on the current-induced vibron dynamics in nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) are analyzed in the framework of the generalized master equation. In our simulations each turnstile cycle allows the pumping of up to two interacting electrons across a biased mesoscopic subsystem which is electrostatically coupled to the vibrational mode of a nanoresonator. The time-dependent mean vibron number is very sensitive to the turnstile driving, rapidly increasing/decreasing along the charging/discharging sequences. This sequence of heating and cooling cycles experienced by the nanoresonator is due to specific vibron-assisted sequential tunneling processes along a turnstile period. At the end of each charging/discharging cycle the nanoresonator is described by a linear combination of vibron-dressed states $s_ν$ associated to an electronic configuration $ν$. If the turnstile operation leads to complete electronic depletion the nanoresonator returns to its equilibrium position, i.e.\,its displacement vanishes. It turns out that a suitable bias applied on the NEMS leads to a slow but complete cooling at the end of the turnstile cycle. Our calculations show that the quantum turnstile regime switches the dynamics of the NEMS between vibron-dressed subspaces with different electronic occupation numbers. We predict that the turnstile control of the electron-vibron interaction induces measurable changes on the input and output transient currents.

Learning Kernel for Conditional Moment-Matching Discrepancy-based Image Classification

description: Conditional Maximum Mean Discrepancy (CMMD) can capture the discrepancy between conditional distributions by drawing support from nonlinear kernel functions, thus it has been successfully used for pattern classification. However, CMMD does not work well on complex distributions, especially when the kernel function fails to correctly characterize the difference between intra-class similarity and inter-class similarity. In this paper, a new kernel learning method is proposed to improve the discrimination performance of CMMD. It can be operated with deep network features iteratively and thus denoted as KLN for abbreviation. The CMMD loss and an auto-encoder (AE) are used to learn an injective function. By considering the compound kernel, i.e., the injective function with a characteristic kernel, the effectiveness of CMMD for data category description is enhanced. KLN can simultaneously learn a more expressive kernel and label prediction distribution, thus, it can be used to improve the classification performance in both supervised and semi-supervised learning scenarios. In particular, the kernel-based similarities are iteratively learned on the deep network features, and the algorithm can be implemented in an end-to-end manner. Extensive experiments are conducted on four benchmark datasets, including MNIST, SVHN, CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100. The results indicate that KLN achieves state-of-the-art classification performance.

description: In this paper we study the enstrophy transers in helical turbulence using direct numerical simulation. We observe that the helicity injection does not have significant effects on the inertial-range energy and helicity spectra ($\sim k^{-5/3}$) and fluxes (constants). We also calculate the separate contributions to enstrophy transfers via velocity to vorticity and vorticity to vorticity channels. There are four different enstrophy fluxes associated with the former channel or vorticity stretching, and one flux associated with the latter channel or vorticity advection. In the inertial range, the fluxes due to vorticity stretching are larger than that due to advection. These transfers too are insensitive to helicity injection.

$\mathcal{L}$-invariants, $p$-adic heights and factorization of $p$-adic $L$-functions

description: We continue with our study of the non-critical exceptional zeros of Katz' $p$-adic $L$-functions attached to a CM field $K$, following two threads. In the first thread, we redefine our (group-ring-valued) $\mathcal{L}$-invariant associated to each $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$-extension $K_Γ$ of $K$ in terms of $p$-adic height pairings and interpolate them as $K_Γ$ varies to a universal (multivariate) group-ring-valued $\mathcal{L}$-invariant. In the second thread, we use our results to study the exceptional zeros of the non-genuine Rankin--Selberg $p$-adic $L$-functions attached to the self-products of nearly ordinary CM families, via the factorization statements we establish. The factorization theorems are extensions of the results due to Greenberg and Palvannan.

Wigner negativity in spin-$j$ systems

description: The nonclassicality of simple spin systems as measured by Wigner negativity is studied on a spherical phase space. Several SU(2)-covariant states with common qubit representations are addressed: spin coherent, spin cat (GHZ/N00N), and Dicke ($\textsf{W}$). We derive a bound on the Wigner negativity of spin cat states that rapidly approaches the true value as spin increases beyond $j \gtrsim 5$. We find that spin cat states are not significantly Wigner-negative relative to their Dicke state counterparts of equal dimension. We also find, in contrast to several entanglement measures, that the most Wigner-negative Dicke basis element is spin-dependent, and not the equatorial state $| j,0 \rangle$ (or $|j,\pm 1/2 \rangle$ for half-integer spins). These results underscore the influence that dynamical symmetry has on nonclassicality, and suggest a guiding perspective for finding novel quantum computational applications.

description: We address the issue whether it is possible to generate Majorana bound states at the magnetic-superconducting interface in two-dimensional topological insulators with hidden Dirac points in the spectrum. In this case, the Dirac point of edge states is located at the energies of the bulk states such that two types of states are strongly hybridized. Here, we show that well-defined Majorana bound states can be obtained even in materials with hidden Dirac point provided that the width of the magnetic strip is chosen to be comparable with the localization length of the edge states. The obtained topological phase diagram allows one to extract precisely the position of the Dirac point in the spectrum. In addition to standard zero-bias peak features caused by Majorana bound states in transport experiments, we propose to supplement future experiments with measurements of charge and spin polarization. In particular, we demonstrate that both observables flip their signs at the topological phase transition, thus, providing an independent signature of the presence of topological superconductivity. All features remain stable against substantially strong disorder.

description: An a priori reduced order method based on the proper generalised decomposition (PGD) is proposed to compute parametric solutions involving turbulent incompressible flows of interest in an industrial context, using OpenFOAM. The PGD framework is applied for the first time to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in the turbulent regime, to compute a generalised solution for velocity, pressure and turbulent viscosity, explicitly depending on the design parameters of the problem. In order to simulate flows of industrial interest, a minimally intrusive implementation based on OpenFOAM SIMPLE algorithm applied to the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with the Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model is devised. The resulting PGD strategy is applied to parametric flow control problems and achieves both qualitative and quantitative agreement with the full order OpenFOAM solution for convection-dominated fully-developed turbulent incompressible flows, with Reynolds number up to one million.
