Abstract
We consider a Markovian stochastic fluid flow model in which the fluid level has
a lower bound zero and a positive upper bound. The behavior of the process at the
boundaries is modeled by parameters that are different than those in the interior
and allow for modeling a range of desired behaviors at the boundaries.We illustrate
this with examples. We establish formulas for several time-dependent performance
measures of significance to a number of applied probability models. These results
are achieved with techniques applied within the fluid flow model directly. This leads
to useful physical interpretations, which are presented.
