Variable definitions and sampling of trial parameters.

Variable Acronym Definition and sampling distribution
Relative capacity RC RC represents the relation between the containers' capacities, defined as RC=target capacitysource capacity. Sampled from a truncated Gaussian distribution Ntrunc.(μ=1.0,σ=0.25,min=0.5,max=2.0). RC < 1 corresponds to target containers of lower capacity, and RC > 1 to target containers of larger capacity.
Fullness FU FU expresses the fullness level of the source container as a fraction. Sampled from Ntrunc.(μ=0.7,σ=0.2,min=0.3,max=1.0). For example, FU = 0.5 corresponds to a half-full source container.
Relative diameter RD RD represents the relation between the container rim diameters, defined as RD=target diametersource diameter. Sampled from Ntrunc.(μ=1.0,σ=0.25,min=0.5,max=1.5). RD < 1 corresponds to target containers of smaller diameter, and RD > 1 corresponds to target containers of larger diameter. The target container's height and diameter were determined based on the sampled RC and RD.
Relative volume RV RV represents the volume relation between the poured amount and the target container's capacity, defined as RV=poured volumetarget capacity. RV < 1 indicates that the poured amount fits into the target container, and RV > 1 indicates that the poured amount exceeds the target container's capacity.
Spillage S Binary variable indicating whether or not spillage occurred.
