It is depicted that the differential transform method (DTM) solutions are only valid for small values of the independent variable. The DTM solutions diverge for some differential equations that extremely have nonlinear behaviors or have boundary-conditions at infinity. For this reason the governing boundary-layer equations are solved by the Multi-step Differential Transform Method (MDTM). The main advantage of this method is that it can be applied directly to nonlinear differential equations without requiring linearization, discretization, or perturbation. It is a semi analytical-numerical technique that formulizes Taylor series in a very different manner. By applying the MDTM the interval of convergence for the series solution is increased. The MDTM is treated as an algorithm in a sequence of intervals for finding accurate approximate solutions for systems of differential equations. It is predicted that the MDTM can be applied to a wide range of engineering applications.展开更多

Quantifying swelling effects is becoming an important issue to verify the suitability of particular coal seams for CO2-enhanced coal bed methane recovery projects. In this report, coal swelling experiments using a visualization method in the CO2 supercritical conditions were conducted on crushed coal samples. The measurement apparatus was designed specifically for the present swelling experiment using a visualization method. Crushed coal samples were used instead of block coal samples to shorten equilibrium time and to solve the problem of limited availability of core coal samples. Dry and wet coal samples were used in the experiments because there is relatively limited information about how the swelling of coal by CO2 is affected by water saturation. Moreover, some coal seams are saturated with water in initial reservoir conditions. The maximum volumetric swelling was around 3% at 10 MPa for dry samples and almost half that at the same pressure for wet samples. The wet samples showed lower volumetric swelling than dry ones because the wet coal samples were already swollen by water. Experimental results obtained for swelling were comparable with other reports. Our visualization method using crushed samples has advantages in terms of sample preparation and experimental execution compared with the other methods used to measure coal swelling using block samples.展开更多

Three types of relations between components of a certain control parameter combination are defined in a certain control process. Special emphasis is put on the comparison of control efficiencies of the multi-parameter multi-step method and single-parameter multi-step method. The numerical experiments show the ability to switch between different orbits and the method can be a good chaos control alternative since it provides a more effective UPOs stabilization of high-dimensional and non-hyperbolic chaotic systems than the single-parameter chaos control, and according to the relation between components of each parameter combination, the best combination for chaos control in a certain UPO stabilization process are obtained.展开更多

Firstly, the idea and history of the PLK method are briefly introduced. Then, the difficulty of intermediate expression swell, often encountered in symbolic computation, is outlined. For overcoming the difficulty, a semi-inverse algorithm was proposed by the author, with which the lengthy ports of intermediate expressions are first frozen in the form of symbols till the Fnal stage of seeking perturbation solutions. Tn discuss the applications of the above algorithm, the related work of the author and his research group on nonlinear oscillations and waves is concisely reviewed. The computer-extended perturbation solution of the Duffing equation shows that the asymptotic solution obtained with the PLK method possesses the convergence radius of 1 and thus the range of validity of the solution is considerably enlarged. The studies on internal solitary waves in stratified fluid and on the head-on collision between two solitary waves in a hyperelastic rod indicate that by means of the presented methods, very complicated manipulation, unconceivable in hand calculation, can be conducted and thus result in higher-order evolution equations and asymptotic solutions. The examples illustrate that the algorithm helps to realize the symbolic computation on micro-commputers. Finally, it is concluded that,vith the aid of symbolic computation, the vitality of the PLK method is greatly. Strengthened and at least for the solutions to conservative systems of oscillations and waves, it is a powerful tool.展开更多

According to the data collected in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, the changing characteristics of APS were studied. Thereafter, aiming to build up a multi-step APS forecasting model that provides richer information than a conventional one-step model, the largest Lyapunov exponents(largest LEs) method was introduced into PGS. By experimental tests conducted using the same dataset, its prediction performance was compared with traditional wavelet neural network(WNN) method in both one-step and multi-step processes. Based on the results, a new multi-step forecasting model called WNN-LE method was proposed, where WNN, which enjoys a more accurate performance along with a better learning ability in short-term forecasting, was applied in the early forecast steps while the Lyapunov exponent prediction method in the latter steps precisely reflect the chaotic feature in latter forecast period. The MSE of APS forecasting for one hour time period can be reduced from 83.1 to 27.1(in a parking building with 492 berths) by using largest LEs method instead of WNN and further reduced to 19.0 by conducted the new method.展开更多

It is shown that the directional spreading of swell, qualitatively similar to that of developing wind wave which is narrowest in the region of Peak frequency and bxoadens with increasing or decreasing frequency, can be effectively described by cos2s(θ/2) introduced by Longuet-Higgins et al. (1963,Ocean Wave Spectra, 111~136). It is intriguing that bimodal distribution found in our experiments appers at the forward face instead of the rear face of a frequency spectrum in the cases of nonlinearity being very weak. Parameterized by nonlinearity, formulations which can be applied to swell as well as wind wave are proposed. It is concluded that nonlinear interaction plays a central role in controlling the development of directional angular spreading even for the swell.展开更多
