This paper describes the development and the validation of two computational fluid dynamics (CFD) frameworks for multidisciplinary and multi-scale simulations. The first framework is an overset grid topology with a six-degree of freedom rigid body dynamics library for both structured-grid and...

This article builds on the previous article by Blitstein et al. (2005), which showed how external estimates of intraclass correlation can be used to improve the precision for the analysis of an existing group randomized trial. The authors extend that work to sample size estimation and power...
