Novel wavelet-homotopy Galerkin technique for analysis of lid-driven cavity flow and heat transfer with non-uniform boundary conditions

In this paper, a brand-new wavelet-homotopy Galerkin technique is developed to solve nonlinear ordinary or partial differential equations. Before this investigation,few studies have been done for handling nonlinear problems with non-uniform boundary conditions by means of the wavelet Galerkin technique, especially in the field of fluid mechanics and heat transfer. The lid-driven cavity flow and heat transfer are illustrated as a typical example to verify the validity and correctness of this proposed technique. The cavity is subject to the upper and lower walls’ motions in the same or opposite directions.The inclined angle of the square cavity is from 0 to π/2. Four different modes including uniform, linear, exponential, and sinusoidal heating are considered on the top and bottom walls, respectively, while the left and right walls are thermally isolated and stationary.A parametric analysis of heating distribution between upper and lower walls including the amplitude ratio from 0 to 1 and the phase deviation from 0 to 2π is conducted. The governing equations are non-dimensionalized in terms of the stream function-vorticity formulation and the temperature distribution function and then solved analytically subject to various boundary conditions. Comparisons with previous publications are given,showing high efficiency and great feasibility of the proposed technique.

The Influence of Saturated and Bilinear Incidence Functions on the Dynamical Behavior of HIV Model Using Galerkin Scheme Having a Polynomial of Order Two

Mathematical modelling has been extensively used to measure intervention strategies for the control of contagious conditions.Alignment between different models is pivotal for furnishing strong substantiation for policymakers because the differences in model features can impact their prognostications.Mathematical modelling has been widely used in order to better understand the transmission,treatment,and prevention of infectious diseases.Herein,we study the dynamics of a human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)infection model with four variables:S(t),I(t),C(t),and A(t)the susceptible individuals;HIV infected individuals(with no clinical symptoms of AIDS);HIV infected individuals(under ART with a viral load remaining low),and HIV infected individuals with two different incidence functions(bilinear and saturated incidence functions).A novel numerical scheme called the continuous Galerkin-Petrov method is implemented for the solution of themodel.The influence of different clinical parameters on the dynamical behavior of S(t),I(t),C(t)and A(t)is described and analyzed.All the results are depicted graphically.On the other hand,we explore the time-dependent movement of nanofluid in porous media on an extending sheet under the influence of thermal radiation,heat flux,hall impact,variable heat source,and nanomaterial.The flow is considered to be 2D,boundary layer,viscous,incompressible,laminar,and unsteady.Sufficient transformations turn governing connected PDEs intoODEs,which are solved using the proposed scheme.To justify the envisaged problem,a comparison of the current work with previous literature is presented.

APPLICATION OF TREFFTZ BEM TO ANTI-PLANE PIEZOELECTRIC PROBLEM

Anti-plane electroelastic problems are studied by the Trefftz boundary element method （BEM） in this paper. The Trefftz BEM is based on a weighted residual formulation and indirect boundary approach. In particular the point-collocation and Galerkin techniques, in which the basic unknowns are the retained expansion coefficients in the system of complete equations, are considered. Furthermore, special Trefftz functions and auxiliary functions which satisfy exactly the specified boundary conditions along the slit boundaries are also used to derive a special purpose element with local defects. The path-independent integral is evaluated at the tip of a crack to determine the energy release rate for a mode Ⅲ fracture problem. In final, the accuracy and efficiency of the Trefftz boundary element method are illustrated by an example and the comparison is made with other methods.

THEORETICAL STUDY ON THE BIFURCATION OF VORTEXES STRUCTURE FOR FLOW IN CURVED TUBE

The number and distribution of the singular points of streamlines in the cross-section of steady flow through a curved tube ate discussed by using the method of topological structure analysis. And a theoretical criterion is obtained for the bifurcation of flow vortexes for the secondary flow turning from two-vortex structure into four-vortex structure. Furthermore, the critical Dean number for bifurcation and the semi-analytical expressions of stream function and axial velocity are given by using Galerkin technique. The result of calculation is consistent with the theoretical criterion.

Multiple internal resonances of rotating composite cylindrical shells under varying temperature fields

Composite cylindrical shells,as key components,are widely employed in large rotating machines.However,due to the frequency bifurcations and dense frequency spectra caused by rotation,the nonlinear vibration usually has the behavior of complex multiple internal resonances.In addition,the varying temperature fields make the responses of the system further difficult to obtain.Therefore,the multiple internal resonances of composite cylindrical shells with porosities induced by rotation with varying temperature fields are studied in this paper.Three different types of the temperature fields,the Coriolis forces,and the centrifugal force are considered here.The Hamilton principle and the modified Donnell nonlinear shell theory are used to obtain the equilibrium equations of the system,which are transformed into the ordinary differential equations(ODEs)by the multi-mode Galerkin technique.Thereafter,the pseudo-arclength continuation method,which can identify the regions of instability,is introduced to obtain the numerical results.The detailed parametric analysis of the rotating composite shells is performed.Multiple internal resonances caused by the interaction between backward and forward wave modes and the energy transfer phenomenon are detected.Besides,the nonlinear amplitude-frequency response curves are different under different temperature fields.

Mode Ⅲ fracture analysis by Trefftz boundary element method

This paper presents a hybrid Trefftz （HT） boundary element method （BEM） by using two indirect techniques for mode III fracture problems. Two Trefftz complete functions of Laplace equation for normal elements and a special purpose Trefftz function for crack elements are proposed in deriving the Galerkin and the collocation techniques of HT BEM. Then two auxiliary functions are introduced to improve the accuracy of the displacement field near the crack tips, and stress intensity factor （SIF） is evaluated by local crack elements as well. Furthermore, numerical examples are given, including comparisons of the present results with the analytical solution and the other numerical methods, to demonstrate the efficiency for different boundary conditions and to illustrate the convergence influenced by several parameters. It shows that HT BEM by usingthe Galerkin and the collocation techniques is effective for mode III fracture problems.

The Onset of Buoyancy and Surface Tension Driven Convection in a Ferrofluid Layer by Influence of General Boundary Conditions

This paper investigated the buoyancy and surface tension-driven ferro-thermal-convection (FTC) in a ferrofluid (FF) layer due to influence of general boundary conditions. The lower surface is rigid with insulating to temperature perturbations, while the upper surface is stress-free and subjected to general thermal boundary condition. The numerically Galerkin technique (GT) and analytically regular perturbation technique (RPT) are applied for solving the problem of eigenvalue. It is analyzed that increasing Biot number, decreases the magnetic and Marangoni number is to postponement the onset. Additionally, magnetization nonlinearity parameter has no effect on FTC in the non-existence of Biot number. The results under the limiting cases are found to be in good agreement with those available in the literature.

Scattering of water waves by thick rectangular barriers in presence of ice cover

Assuming linear theory,the two dimensional problem of water wave scattering past thick rectangular barrier in presence of thin ice cover,is investigated here.Mainly four types of thick barriers are considered here and also the ice cover is taken as a thin elastic plate.May be the barrier is partially immersed or bottom standing or fully submerged in water or in the form of thick rectangular wall with a submerged gap presence in water.The problem is formulated in terms of a first kind integral equation by considering the symmetric and antisymmetric parts of velocity potential function.The integral equation is solved by using multi term Galerkin approximation method involving ultraspherical Gegenbauer polynomials as its basis function.The numerical solutions of reflection and transmission coefficients are obtained for different parametric values and these are seen to satisfy the energy identity.These coefficients are depicted graphically against the wave number in a number of figures.Some figures available in the literature drawn by using different mathematical methods as well as laboratory experiments are also recovered following the present analysis without the presence of ice cover,thereby confirming the correctness of the results presented here.It is also observed that the reflection and transmission coefficients depend significantly on the width of the barriers.
