Test results

• Comparison of strategies A and B:
  • 24 test cases
  • different values of k
  • different input mass distributions
    • constant mass
    • small scale fluctuations
    • fluctuations + macroscopic change (sudden rise or decline)
  • common values
    • l_E1 = l_E2 = 1 m
    • v₂ = 1 m/s, v₁ = k v₂
  • relevant results
    • short-time mass conservation: mean value over time of m_acc
    • measures the homogeneity: standard deviation σ_out of output mass
• Test case 8:
  • constant input, k = 2.45
  • 
  • bad mass balance for A
  • reason: long period with increase of m_acc
• Test case 14:
  • fluctuating input, k = 2.5
  • 
  • mass balance for A even worse
  • reason: no periodicity, continuing increase of m_acc
