AbstractThe internal crowdsourcing-based ideation within a company can be defined as an involvement of its staff, specialists, managers, and other employees, to propose solution ideas for a pre-defined problem. This paper addresses a question, how many participants of the company-internal ideation process are required to nearly reach the ideation limit for the problems with a finite number of workable solutions. To answer the research question, the author proposes a set of metrics and a non-linear ideation performance function with a positive decreasing slope and ideation limit for the closed-ended problems. Three series of experiments helped to explore relationships between the metric attributes and resulted in a mathematical model which allows companies to predict the productivity metrics of their crowdsourcing ideation activities such as quantity of different ideas and ideation limit as a function of the number of contributors, their average personal creativity and ideation efficiency of a contributors’ group.

To assist in predicting the performance of omni-directional propelled vehicles a series of experiments has been conducted to measure the interaction between two closely spaced ductedazimuthing thrusters. The thrusters were tested below a shallow draft ground board in a towing tank at a spacing of approximately 2 propeller diameters. Measurements were made of forces acting on a single thruster for a range of operating conditions and similarly on two thrusters for a range of relative positions. The results show that forces from the trailing thruster are heavily affected by interaction, particularly due to impingement of the race from the leading thruster, where as forces from the leading thruster remain essentially unaffected despite its proximity to the trailing thruster. A semi-empirical mathematical model suitable for simulation of omni-directional vehicle dynamics is presented. The model is based on the trajectory of the race from the leading thruster derived from momentum considerations with additional empirical relations to account for other more minor flow effects. Comparison of the predicted and measured results show satisfactory agreement.

A 3-D mathematical model of fuel bed (FB) ignition initiated by glowing firebrands originating during wildland fires is proposed. In order to test and verify the model, a series of experiments was conducted to determine the FB ignition time by a single pine bark and twig firebrand (Pinus sylvestris). Irrespective of the pine bark sample sizes and experimental conditions, the ignition of the FB was not observed. Conversely, pine twigs, under certain parameters, ignited the FB in the range of densities (60–105 kg m−3) and with the airflow velocity of ≥2 m s−1. The results of the mathematical modelling have shown that a single pine bark firebrand ≤5 cm long with a temperature of T ≤ 1073 K does not ignite in the flaming mode the FB, and only the thermal energy of larger particles is sufficient for flaming ignition of the adjacent layers of the FB. The analysis of the results has shown that the firebrand length is a major factor in the initiation of ignition. Comparison of the calculated and observed FB ignition times by a single firebrand have shown that our modelling accords well with the experimental results.

A two-stage mathematical model is developed for predicting dissolved oxygen levels in ice-covered rivers. The first stage of the model is a prediction model for ice-edge progression as a function of time, and the second stage consists of an extrapolation of a widely used 'summer condition' water-quality model. The results of a series of experiments, both field and laboratory-based, which served as data input generators and calibration testing of the model, are provided.Briefcase-study applications of elements of the model to the Speed River and to the Saint John River are included.
