Abstract: There is described an on-line device for predicting at least one fluid flow parameter in a process. In embodiment, the process in question comprises a flow domain having disposed therein a pre-determined portion in which a fluid flows and the device comprises a computer having: (i) a memory for receiving a database, the database comprising relative information in respect of a plurality of nodes or a plurality of particle pathways in the pre-determined portion; (ii) means to receive input data from the process; and (iii) means to calculate the at least one fluid flow parameter from the database and the input data. In another embodiment the process in question comprises a bounded flow domain having disposed therein a pre-determined matrix and the device comprises a computer having: (i) a memory for receiving a database, the database comprising location information for a plurality of nodes or particle pathways in the matrix; (ii) means to receive input data from the process; and (iii) means to calculate the at least one fluid flow parameter from the database and the input data. The device is particularly advantageously employed as a UV dosimeter.
